About price

It need show cleint as well what is material and products costs

Block data without a subscription

Don’t use these people they expect you to have a subscription to get your data once you stop using their service. It’s in other words for stealing business information from you. It use to be free

Blocks VPN’s

Joist is joining the rest of the tech world by blocking access when using a VPN. Thanks. This is why everyone hates the entire tech industry.

Best Tool in the Book

Great app, has helped me be able to manage my business allowing me to be more successful. Thank you Joist for your services. I’ll continue to be a dedicated customer.

They will try to run your business for you!

Omg this is by far the most annoying app I have ever used! The app itself is fine, but the company won’t leave you alone! Constant messages and emails with ideas and suggestions on how to use the app and get more business! Yes, that’s right! Joust thinks they know more about your business than you!!! Worst part is you can’t stop it!!! Looking for an alternative to this service.

Great tool.

Joist is a great app. It helps me with my estimates and payments. I recommend Joist to any Contractor. Great tool to have.

They Keep removing features and increasing the price

They keep removing basic and deported features while increasing the price so they want you to upgrade all the time with the higher monthly rate for basic features you had on your plan.
It’s a good app if you pay top dollars for the higher plan tier, but there are many apps over there that will do the same for much cheaper so I wouldn’t start with this one if I knew that they will keep doing it every year

Elite upgrade

Slowly but surely, every good feature I’ve been using as a pro subscriber, becomes an Elite subscription service. I’m moving to a different platform.

Wish it had a dashboard like wave accounting

I use this app over wave because it allows me to add photos and Wave does not however, wave accounting provides the user with a dashboard that allows them to see what will become payable in the next 15 days, the next 30 days, and so on. This feature would be extremely useful for contractors, trying to manage a business, the ability to have a quick at a glance look receivables would be much better.

I miss when it was free ! But I love them

Customer service

The app is mostly easy no navigate. However, there is no one to talk to on ver the phone making it difficult to request or get help via chat.

Good app but I’m going to move to another

I give it a 5 star for being functional user friendly and the payment options for client are all there . I give it negative stars for cutting out app functions like reports which I had already upgraded to pro (cost more) to keep now they take them away and say upgrade again to elite to see them , which of course cost more which I’m tapped out for this so see ya I’m moving on to better cheaper app

Owner

Great app over 10 years using it

Great

I been using joist for a month and it’s great. Easy to make invoices, easy for customers to sign, make payments. I enjoy using this app! Cheap too!!

After years of use

Love the app for what it is but not the owners. Be aware of consistent subscription price rises for no reason but greed.

Extortion

I started using this app when it was free. Then it went to charging and now limited documentation. I’m retiring now and must pay a monthly fee to access records I paid a monthly fee to create. EXTORTION!!!

Excelente 100X100 recomendado

En su versión gratis, puedo que no sea tan buena, pero cuando tienes las versiones PRO, obtienes más de lo que pagas. Vale la pena cada centavo…. Muy fácil,
Útil versátil, muchas herramientas…. Estoy casi seguro que no las he usado todas aún, y hace que nuestro negocio elevara su nivel a 1000X100

Past invoices

Once you end your subscription you have no access to the past invoices you paid to create.

Joist review

The Joist investment invoice maker I have been using for years. It's a very nice app to use.
I have recommended this other contractors to use the downfall to Joist. Is that not only do they charge a fee but they sent it to a third-party for payment payments to charge an additional fee.
That fee can range anywhere from 6 to 9%
Which I have highly recommended to my customers not to pay by credit card ,debit card, or e-check.
When I first started using the app, they did not go through PayPal. They charged their fee which you could pass on to the customer which was reasonable but now it's. Not recommendable at all, which is very unfortunate because the overall app is nice to use?

Great low cost option.

For the price, and its capabilities, it’s a good option for starting out with using system like this. I recommend to anyone starting out. Low cost not to much to lose!
