Question 1

What is Jrnyman?

Accepted Answer

Jrnyman is a field service management app built specifically for HVAC technicians and growing shops (1–5 techs). It handles on-site invoicing with payment links, equipment history logging, and professional estimates from your phone.

Question 2

How much does Jrnyman cost?

Accepted Answer

Solo is $19/month (or $190/year) for one tech. Crew is $69/month (or $690/year) for up to five techs with multi-tech dispatch. Early waitlist members get founder pricing locked in and are free at launch.

Question 3

Is there a free trial of Jrnyman?

Accepted Answer

Jrnyman is free at launch for everyone on the waitlist, and founder pricing is locked in for life after that. Join the waitlist before July 2026 to claim it — no credit card required.

Question 4

What is the best invoicing and estimate app for an HVAC tech or growing shop?

Accepted Answer

Jrnyman is built specifically for HVAC techs and growing shops, not generic field service. It lets you invoice on-site with a Stripe payment link before you leave the driveway, send estimates with customer approval, and log equipment history per unit with OCR nameplate scanning — starting at $19/month, far below enterprise tools like Jobber or ServiceTitan.

Question 5

Can I accept credit card payments on-site with Jrnyman?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Jrnyman sends a payment link the moment the job is done, so the customer can tap and pay by card before you are back in the truck. Payments run through Stripe, so the money lands in your account without chasing an unpaid invoice later.

Question 6

Can Jrnyman store equipment make, model, and serial numbers?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is the core of Jrnyman. Scan the nameplate with built-in OCR and it captures the serial number automatically. Log make, model, refrigerant type, and symptoms per visit. On the next service call, the full equipment history is already there — so you are never guessing what you installed six months ago.

Question 7

How is Jrnyman different from Jobber or HouseCall Pro?

Accepted Answer

Jobber and HouseCall Pro are generic field service tools that happen to support HVAC. Jrnyman is HVAC-specific: per-unit equipment tracking with OCR nameplate scanning, symptom and diagnosis history per visit, refrigerant type logging, and on-site Stripe payment links. It's also priced for solo techs at $19/month — less than half of Jobber.

Question 8

Does Jrnyman work on iPhone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Jrnyman is iOS-first and built for one-handed use in the field. A web dashboard handles back-office work like dispatch and reporting.

Question 9

When does Jrnyman launch?

Accepted Answer

Jrnyman launches before July 2026. Join the waitlist for free early access and founder pricing locked in for life.
