What is Abixon Engine?

Engine is ops software for hands-on operators built by Abixon Digital. It covers three operator types: field-service businesses (junk removal, lawn care, handyman, cleaning, pool service, pest control, HVAC), route operators (amusement and coin-op businesses managing venues, machines, and collection runs), and shop businesses. One platform for jobs, estimates, invoices, online payments, and expenses.

How much does Engine cost?

Solo: $29/mo (1 user). Crew: $59/mo (up to 5 users). Business: $119/mo (up to 15 users). All tiers include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required at signup. First 50 paying customers get 30% off forever via coupon FOUNDING50.

How is Engine different from Jobber, Housecall Pro, or ServiceTitan?

Engine is priced at $29-$119/mo vs. $169-$399/mo for those platforms. Setup takes under 10 minutes. Live job profitability and a free CPA portal are included at every tier - competitors lock those behind top-tier plans. Card payments route directly to your bank. Engine also covers route operators (amusement, coin-op, vending) and shop businesses - a use case the field-service platforms do not support.

Can I accept online invoice payments with Engine?

Yes. Customer payments go directly to the merchant's own bank account - Engine never holds funds. Standard card processing fees apply (2.9% + 30 cents).

Does Engine support recurring jobs or service contracts?

Yes. Attach a recurrence rule to any job (weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, custom intervals). When the job is marked complete, Engine automatically spawns the next occurrence - built for lawn care, cleaning, pool maintenance, pest control, HVAC quarterly service, and any recurring contract model.

What kinds of businesses use Engine?

Engine is built for three operator types. Field-service businesses: junk removal, hauling, lawn care, landscaping, handyman, residential and commercial cleaning, pool service, pest control, HVAC, pet services. Route operators: amusement businesses, coin-op operators, jukebox and pool table routes, ATM routes, vending operators. Shop businesses: any operator running a customer-facing shop with invoicing and payment needs. The common thread is operators who work with their hands and need to get paid for it.

Can my accountant access Engine?

Yes. Engine includes a free CPA / accountant portal at every tier. Your accountant gets a dedicated login with access to exports, P&L, and transaction data - no extra seat required. Competitors typically charge per-seat for accountant access.

Is there a mobile app?

Engine is a Progressive Web App (PWA). On iOS and Android, tap "Add to Home Screen" from your browser - Engine installs like a native app with its own icon, full-screen mode, and no browser chrome. No App Store download required, and updates ship instantly without waiting on app review.
