Joist is a billing app built narrowly for the trades: estimates, invoices, payments and client records, with no dispatch board attached. Published tiers are Basics at $10 a month with five documents, Pro at $17 with unlimited documents and work orders, Elite at $32 adding change orders and business reports, plus a 14 day trial and two months free on annual billing. Payment options cover cards, Tap to Pay in person, deposits and milestone schedules, and processing fees can be passed to the client.
For a one or two person shop that prices work in a driveway and wants the signed estimate turned into an invoice minutes later, the price is hard to argue with. Growing companies hit the ceiling quickly: no scheduling, thin reporting below Elite, support that begins with chat and an AI assistant. Reviewers also describe occasional outages that block sending documents for a day or longer.
