For small HVAC shops looking at ServiceTitan

Priced out of ServiceTitan?HVAC bids, service orders, and invoices for $29/month total.

ServiceTitan is the industry-leading enterprise platform for HVAC and plumbing shops with dispatch teams, call centers, and multi-truck fleets. It earns its price for shops that need every feature it ships. But it prices per technician, requires a demo call to get a quote, and even the Starter tier (dispatching, scheduling, call booking, invoicing, price book) does not include HVAC-specific document tools like AHRI equipment auto-fill, EPA 608 refrigerant tracking, or a load calculator. AskWoody Pro fills that gap at $29/mo flat, available today — no waitlist, no sales call.

Free tier is 3 documents per month, forever. Pro is $29/month for unlimited.

Why HVAC shops are switching

Three patterns we hear from ServiceTitan customers

These are the three most common reasons shops on ServiceTitan tell us they want a different tool for HVAC-specific document work.

Per-technician pricing, no public rate

ServiceTitan is priced per user per month and does not publish rates publicly — every tier (Starter, Essentials, The Works) requires a "Request Pricing" call with their sales team. That model is standard for enterprise SaaS; it also means small shops cannot self-serve compare annual software cost before committing to a demo. Whatever their per-tech number lands at for your shop, it scales with headcount. AskWoody Pro is $29/month flat regardless of technician count — transparent, no sales call, no negotiation.

Enterprise complexity you may not need

ServiceTitan is designed for the shop with a call center, a dedicated dispatcher, an office manager running memberships, a marketing manager running review campaigns, and warehouse inventory. If you don't have those roles, most of the platform is off-menu — you're paying for infrastructure that assumes a much larger operation.

Formal onboarding + implementation setup

ServiceTitan is designed for a formal onboarding process — dedicated implementation specialists, data migration, workflow configuration, staff training. Implementation fees and timelines are quoted per project during their sales process (rates not published publicly). AskWoody Pro onboarding is about 60 seconds: Google sign-in, verify your business name, done. No implementation fee, no dedicated onboarding call.

Less money. More HVAC.

Beyond the price

Three things ServiceTitan doesn't build for HVAC

Cheaper would be enough on its own. These are what makes it HVAC-specific.

Designed for the shop, not the enterprise

ServiceTitan optimizes for call-center workflows, dispatcher screens, and CFO-level reporting. AskWoody Pro optimizes for the technician on the truck — voice a bid, chain to AHRI, generate a branded PDF, email it. That is the whole flow.

HVAC-only, no multi-trade dilution

ServiceTitan covers HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage doors, chimney sweeps, water treatment. That breadth is why the data model is generic. AskWoody Pro is HVAC-only — refrigerants, AHRI, SEER2, EPA 608 are first-class citizens, not edge cases.

No implementation, no training curve

You do not need a 30-day rollout. Sign up, voice a bid, send the PDF. If you cannot get through your first document in five minutes, we broke something. Compare to ServiceTitan's typical multi-month onboarding.

The switch

Two steps. About one minute.

If you have been shopping ServiceTitan, you have probably sat through demos, priced out per-tech scenarios, and wondered whether the platform makes sense at your size. Skip that. Try AskWoody Pro free for as long as you want under 3 docs/month, then upgrade if the volume warrants it.

1

Sign up free

Google sign-in or email. Verify your business name and license number for PDF letterhead. No credit card. No sales call. No implementation specialist scheduling.

2

Voice a real bid

Take a job you would have quoted in ServiceTitan. Voice it into AskWoody Pro. If the PDF at the end is production-quality and the AHRI numbers came out right, you have your answer. Real 5-minute test.

Your data stays yours

Documents, customer records, and equipment history are yours to export as PDF or JSON anytime. We don't sell data or use it for training.

No trial timer

Free tier is genuinely free forever — 3 documents per month, no credit card, no 14-day countdown. Upgrade only when your volume needs it.

Built by an HVAC pro

AskWoody Pro is shaped by 30 years of hands-on HVAC installation and service work. The vocabulary, the AHRI logic, the EPA 608 tracking — all built by someone who's been on the job.

Questions before you switch

Are you saying AskWoody Pro replaces ServiceTitan?+
No. For a shop with a call center, three trucks, a dispatcher, and an office manager, ServiceTitan is doing real work. AskWoody Pro is the tool for shops that have been priced out of ServiceTitan or realized they were paying for enterprise infrastructure they did not need. Different customer profile.
What about dispatching and scheduling?+
AskWoody Pro does not dispatch or schedule. If dispatching is central to your operation, keep whatever handles that today — Housecall Pro, Jobber, Google Calendar, a paper board — and add AskWoody Pro for HVAC-specific document work. Most shops that leave ServiceTitan for cost reasons keep a lighter FSM in the mix.
What is missing from AskWoody Pro that ServiceTitan has?+
Dispatching, route optimization, membership plan management, marketing automation, warehouse inventory, deep multi-role permissions, call-center integration, GPS fleet tracking, and QuickBooks two-way sync at the depth ServiceTitan does. For a small HVAC shop, most of these are not day-to-day essentials.
How does per-tech pricing actually compare?+
ServiceTitan does not publish per-tech pricing publicly — every quote requires a demo call with their sales team, so real numbers vary by contract, tier, and shop size. What we can say confidently: their pricing is per-technician (confirmed on servicetitan.com/pricing) and scales with headcount. AskWoody Pro is $29/month flat regardless of tech count. For any multi-tech shop, that gap compounds. If you have a ServiceTitan proposal in hand and want to run the exact comparison against $29/mo flat, plug the numbers into your own spreadsheet — the math typically favors us at 2+ techs.
What about implementation fees?+
ServiceTitan onboarding typically includes an implementation phase — dedicated specialists, data migration, workflow configuration, staff training. Fees and timelines are quoted per project during their sales process (rates not published publicly). AskWoody Pro has zero implementation fee and no dedicated onboarding call. Sign up with Google, verify your business name, and start voicing bids.
What about ServiceTitan's new AI and Field Mobile App?+
ServiceTitan announced Atlas AI (Estimate Summary Enhancer, OCR Scanner) and a new Field Mobile App with data-plate camera capture and JobAssist AI. Both are in limited release with a Join The Waitlist button on their marketing page — per their own FAQ, "the majority of customers are looking to use the new app in the second half of 2025," and the release date is intentionally not committed. AskWoody Pro has voice-first HVAC narration, AHRI equipment auto-fill from a data-plate photo, and Ask Woody chat available today, not on a waitlist. If ServiceTitan's roadmap and per-tech pricing fits your business, wait for it. If you need HVAC-native tooling now at flat $29/mo, AskWoody Pro is one signup away.
What if I need EPA 608 reporting later?+
EPA 608 refrigerant tracking is built in today. Every service order captures refrigerant type, quantity added, quantity recovered, and technician EPA certification. Exportable for §608 recordkeeping compliance. This is a native field in the data model, not a workaround.
Does AskWoody Pro handle multi-truck fleets?+
AskWoody Pro handles multi-technician shops — each tech can have their own login, and documents are associated with the technician who created them. There is no GPS fleet tracking or route optimization. If your operation depends on those, keep an FSM alongside AskWoody Pro.
What is the migration path if we later grow into needing ServiceTitan?+
AskWoody Pro exports all data (customers, documents, invoices, refrigerant logs) as CSV and PDF. If you later need enterprise FSM, you can import the customer data into ServiceTitan through their onboarding process. Nothing is locked in.
