Ratings and reviews

The new update is less than great. Now when I email estimates to certain email providers, they bounce back. Joist Customer service told me to ask the customers to change their email settings.....why would I ask a customer (whom I probably just met) to jump through hoops so I can email them? I have contacted customer service regarding this 3 times. They haven't been much help at all, basically telling me to just deal with it. Other than that....I like this app. it's very easy to use.

I've been on this app for like, a decade, and it was awesome and free at first. Then they added a premium subscription, which I started paying for. Now, there's no free version, just different paid tiers. They keep jacking up the prices, too! It was $7.99 a month, then $13.99, and now it's gonna be $14.99 next month. Well I'm not sticking around any longer watching to see how much higher they decide to jack up the price, I'll find another invoice app before I pay another dime to these people.

I've been using Joist since the beginning, I opted to pay for the full version as I thought it was worth it, which it was. Until 11 months later that they took me off the paid membership and placed me in the free version and started requesting a monthly fee. Greedy company that took advantage of the people who helped build it into what they are today. update 6/11/25 Look, they have increased their prices on a system that they had offered as a 1 time purchase! way to stick it tu us!
