Use to be great, used it for years. Now the app is telling me I have to pay. Yeah no, 100 other free apps that do the same thing. It doesn't just block you from making new invoices, which would be fine, however, now it won't even let you into your account to look at past invoices or any associated information without paying, Including client email addresses etc. There is currently a class action lawsuit in the works, because this is literal ransomeware.

Seems to fail me when I need it most. It's not a good app for a small business. Always have issues but quick to take you money for services that are below average having to be upgraded . I first got the app. There was only one upgrade, which I got. Now there are levels? I'm really looking into Quickbooks ! Does so much more without upgrading. I can't send emails for my invoices. Their advice was to save it and send it to my personal email. Then send it!

Hi Eli, sorry that we let you down. There was a brief interruption in email delivery recently which impacted a small number of people. We always work to resolve any issues as quickly as possible and we understand how important reliability is to you. I assure you we will continue to work on the reliability of the app, as well as adding new features.

Got too expensive. I use to use Joist very faithfully and they used to have a free version. But over time, they started to add more stuff and it eventually went from $19.99 per month to now over $35 per month. They no longer have the free version and after 3 years of being a faithful joist user, I had to cut ties with the platform. They have become way too expensive

Hi there, very sorry to hear that you felt you had to move on. I just want to make sure you're aware that Joist Pro is still only $12 (USD) per month. You can also get 2 months free when you sign up for the annual plan instead of the monthly plan. With Joist Pro you get all of the Pro features + unlimited documents, just like with our Elite plan.
