Joist was my starter invoice application. It allowed my small business to go to the next level
I love that joist is easy to use from computer or smart phone on the go is not a problem. Joist is easy to use and understand even for older people who are not use to computers. When a payment is sent I can update my invoice so that I may see how much I have made even can update payment plans and make contracts
CONSThe fee for receiving payments via the app. Sometimes the site and app can be down for maintenance when I really need it

Joist- the estimating software you've been waiting for
Joist not only acts as a great estimating / quoting software. It functions as a decent crm, tracking customers email views and allowing you to sort them in multiple ways. Financing is built right in, making it a seamless presentation tool. You are also able to take payments. Pictures and documents can be uploaded right to your proposal. Different contracts can also be attached for commercial, residential, new construction etc.
PROSJoist is simple to set up, use and demonstrate. Estimates can be emailed or texted right to the customers phone.
CONSLacks more robust features other offering in the estimate software category have. Not quite a full featured estimate software or crm but a very functional combination of both.
Reason for choosing Joist
Markate was and is a close runner up. As our business scales up we will likely love on to markate.
Reasons for switching to Joist
House call pro was very robust but felt a little top unorganized for the price I was paying. Joist is 1/10th of the price and has many of the same features in an easier to use package.

Works great for invoicing
The app itself works great. Very helpful to email customer a invoice, estimate or a receipt right on the job
CONSFirst- I wish when I look up a Customer Support, it would not only pull up his contact info, but also a history of his jobs/invoices Second- when you have customers pay with cc, joist uses WePay to process. WePay is a joke, zero communication, they went right into my bank acct and stole money simply because a customer clicked a dispute button because he was mad I didn't answer my phone when my sister was in a hospital.GONE and only through chats online have I received a pitiful notice that it will take up to 45 days to return my money, even after it took the blink of an eye to steal it. Crooks! And I will stop using joist just because of this instance. Boot WePay, hire a legit company like PayPal and I'd come back. Until then, I'm looking for new invoice company.

Started using Paypal
Who are a few bumps here and they're doing the years that we use the app but they work through it with us and we were solved it and they improved their app but they really messed up and they start using PayPal PayPal is the worst absolute worst company to deal with the customerservice does not exist you can't speak to a human ever they are a joke and they offer invoicing I don't know why joist would have done this..[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was over the top at his job. He contacted us to see how we were even after we left the app joust
PROSEasy , quick good looking invoices, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] the emoyee was incredible even after we left because of PayPal. I just wish they offered more than one pay source
CONSPAYPAL. THEY RUINED THIS APP..customer service was over the top with joust, but with PayPal its nonexistent..they are rude if you get someone almost annoyed..usually they only want you to use community...we hate that

Excellent App Bad Tiered Pricing
Overall I like using the app and customer services has been good, I'm just not pleased with the new pricing experimantation going on
PROSThe app works perfectly and what I like the most is the notifications it provides when my clients open up their email and when they view the estimate.
CONSI'm not happy with the tiered pricing the company has commenced to implement, I am currently a paid joist pro member and have been happy using the app for its functionality, recently the company has introduced a second tier plan (Joist Elite) that bring more features to the app, some features dont really justify the upgrade however this tiered pricing implemented as a as we go along basis and not from app commencment feels a bit unfair for already paid members who feel left out or feel our current membership wont get any new updates. One can say they can keep stacking tier after tier Joist Gold JOIST ultra etc.. It feels more like a pay for extra features on a subscription based offered than an actual upgrade in tier For that they should have offered one time payment upgrades.
