Cons: stripe. their credit card processor is not very good. they dont respond well or quickly the old company was much better

Pros: Value for monday, invoicing, estimate and invoice creation. Easy to use, could make estimates in person. Overall, a great app to use if you are starting out.

Cons: Very poor on project management, scheduling jobs, no opportunity to ask for Google reviews, didn't ask for a tip.

Pros: I really like how joist is very user friendly and it is very easy to send clients estimates to see how much a project is going to cost.

Cons: some of the features feel a little bit limited compared to other websites or programs that have more advanced accounting softwares.

Pros: One stop shop for accounting, invoices, estimates, reviews, payments. Great value for the money & your payment come as soon as you request transfer.

Cons: Software will allow you to setup client profile yet to manage assignments is not there yet. Hopefully in the future there will be an upgrade to the software.

Pros: The features are amazing there's so much you can do it unbelievable. It's so easy to work your way through the app.

Cons: The pricing is a bit high. I don't think it's worth as much as they charge,although I still use it everyday.

Pros: I found Joist is an easy to use software that simplifies the "office" part for, on the go contractors. Easy to learn and use. quick and professional service that adds value to your company.

Cons: The only area i would try to improve on is the description and task lines. Its good it saves previous work but when every job consists of different details it inputs too much info not related or needing to be switched and updated.

Pros: The ability to send both estimates and invoices. The ease of entering info and posting payments was great.

Cons: The search capabilities are limited. It would be very beneficial to be able to search by address rather than name and also when searching by name and going back you have to enter the name again it does not keep the search you were working on.

Pros: Our company used Joist for a couple of years, and overall, it was a solid tool especially when we were just starting out. Creating and sending estimates and invoices was fast and simple. The app gave our documents a professional look, and the ability to collect digital signatures and payments right through the platform made things really convenient. It definitely helped streamline our day-to-day operations and saved us time in the field.

Cons: As our company grew, we started to feel limited by Joist. The reporting features were basic and didn’t give us the depth we needed for larger-scale operations. Integration with accounting software was minimal, which meant more manual work. Customer support also wasn’t always responsive when we had technical questions. It’s a great tool for small contractors, but may not scale well for bigger teams or businesses with more complex needs.

Pros: They "offer" many industry style options for estimates invoicing change orders funding financing and payments

Cons: Joist does not work reliably unavailable access hindering for sometimes days the ability to send billing invoices estimates change orders and get payments and customer support is seriously lacking. They auto debit your account for renewal over 30 days before it is due they rebill you every 11 months for a year subscription. They continue to add to the offerings that have numerous glitches the platform provides while still the fundamental basics still have issues. We have been with them since beta with three of our companies hoping for the promised improvement and it has only been more glitches piled up on the already hit or miss foundation

Pros: It was super simple and easy to create and send invoices.

Cons: I did not like the fact that Joist was not able to automatically sequence invoices.

Pros: The ease of use and free estimates monthly.

Cons: When they started charging for estimates beyond the initial sign up.

Pros: I like the non overcrowded dashboard, the simplicity, and how easy it is to use for customers.

Cons: I don’t like there being the only one payment processors connected, Paypal is alright but not my favorite.

Pros: I like lots of things about joist some of its advantages like providing strong structural support, being cost-effective, and allowing for easy installation.

Cons: Some of its drawbacks include potential susceptibility to moisture damage, limited span capacity,

Pros: Its compatibility to use on different devices.It is avaliable on computers,mobile phones(android and ios) which means joist can be used by everyone on any type of device

Cons: Sometimes it takes time to review and verify payments which also leads to double payment if we try to do the payment again

Pros: This is my go to invoice app! Easy peasy invoicing app. This app is BEYOND user friendly. Both me and my customers appreciate the fact that the invoice can be paid straight from the invoice. Payments are not delayed, and everyone is happy.

Cons: Currently, there is nothing negative about the app.

Pros: Joist improves organization, efficiency, task management, and communication in kitchens.

Cons: Joist may be unnecessary for non-management roles, like kitchen porter.

Pros: I've used Joist for free-lance work and I really like the speed and ease of use the software provides. A quick and easy invoicing solution.

Cons: There have been times when the app is down when I need it. There's a fee for recieving payments, fine for the larger payment but lots of small transactions do add up.

Pros: Simple and intuitive platform for creating estimates and invoices. Excellent for managing client details and project tracking. Mobile-friendly, making it ideal for on-the-go use.

Cons: Limited advanced features for larger-scale businesses. Customization options for invoices and estimates could be improved.

Pros: My favorite feature of Joist is their easy-to-use smartphone app. When I'm working, and able to access it f. From my phone, I can generate estimates, retrieve client data, and even process payments. it has greatly improved my appearance as a business and gives me full confidence for the future.

Pros: It helps save time and streamline in the go

Cons: It makes card collection professional and simple
