Joist

Three tiers: Basics ($8/mo), Pro ($15/mo), and Elite ($32/mo).

The 'In-and-Out' Tool for Trades

The ultimate mobile app for trade contractors to estimate, invoice, and accept payments while standing in a client's driveway.

What Joist Does

  • Create and send professional PDF estimates in minutes
  • In-app client financing options to help close higher-ticket jobs
  • Mobile payment processing for credit cards and ACH

The 'Closer's' Best Friend

Joist exists because small trade contractors often lose jobs because they take too long to get a quote back to the client. Joist is built for speed. By offering financing directly on the quote, a $5,000 job becomes a '$120/month' conversation, which closes more deals.

How Pricing Works

  • Free Version: Great for solopreneurs starting out.
  • Elite ($32/mo): Adds change orders and professional branding.

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think Joist is best for: Owner-operators and small trade crews who need to look professional and get paid fast without the complexity of a full PM system.

One thing to think about is Growth. Joist is great for 1–3 people. If you grow to 10+ people, you will likely outgrow Joist and need something like JobTread or Knowify.

Another consideration is Accounting. Joist has a basic QuickBooks sync, but it's a sales tool first, a billing tool second, and an accounting tool a distant third.
