Ask how your brands, models, capacities, images, and prices become proposal-ready.
Compare how the work feels, not how long the feature list is.
The right HVAC software should help your team build a clear proposal quickly, make the customer's decision easier, and keep the sold work moving without a steep learning curve.
Put every platform throughthe same real HVAC job.
Start with the proposal your customer sees, then follow the work through scheduling, the field, invoicing, and accounting.
| Evaluate | Job4Site | Ask any platform |
|---|---|---|
| 01Proposal-ready setup | Guided setup helps you prepare brands, products, company pricing, templates, and financing options before the first sale. | What must be configured before my team can build and send a real proposal? |
| 02Package builder | Build multiple HVAC packages with equipment, live totals, discounts, notes, and optional add-ons. | Can my team configure good, better, and best options without rebuilding each quote? |
| 03Customer proposal | Customers can compare branded packages, equipment, pricing, add-ons, and financing estimates, then accept a package online. | Is the customer view genuinely easy to understand on a phone, or is it a document dump? |
| 04After the customer says yes | The accepted package can stay attached as the work is scheduled, assigned, completed, and invoiced. | Which sold details carry forward, and which ones will my office have to enter again? |
| 05Field workflow | Technicians can see job context, use a job timer, add notes and photos, and start an invoice from the job. | Can a technician finish the everyday work from a phone without calling the office? |
| 06Invoice and payment tracking | Bring an approved proposal into the invoice, add parts or services, send it, record payments, and track the balance. | Does invoicing reuse the sold work, and does the system distinguish recorded payments from online payment processing? |
| 07QuickBooks Online | User-initiated invoice sync is included on the $234 and $284 + QuickBooks plans. | Is QuickBooks included in the quoted plan, what data is supported, and who starts each sync? |
| 08Users and monthly price | Choose up to five or unlimited users, with plans at $199, $234, $249, or $284 per month based on team size and QuickBooks access. | What is the recurring price for my whole team, and which features move to another tier? |
