It used to be free, then they started to charge a $19.99 monthly fee for a basic subscription. I had no choice but to subscribe. After a 2 year subscription, I decided to cancel until my business picks up again, as I didn’t want to keep paying $20 per month for no reason. However, after my now my expired and I’m not even able to access any of my previous quotes or invoices, which I need for my year end book keeping and accounting. So they completely screwed me and I’m stuck paying $20 just so I can download my paperwork. Total rip off.. -- Czech Rocket, 2024-12-31 ### *---- "Used to be free" Cheap. Used to be free now they charge you just to have the app on your iPad such garbage. Telling everyone how trash this is. -- Cray86789, 2024-09-13 ### *---- "Can't trust them anymore" Used to be a great free app. -- Roamerali, 2024-08-27 ### *---- "Subscription Requirement" When I first started using this app I really liked it & it worked great. But as time went on, you kept taking away things that were part of the free version & made it so you had to pay for them. That is ridiculous! If you decide you need/want charge for things fine, but people already using the app before those changes were implemented should not have to pay extra for them, it should only be new users. Due to this fact you are losing me as a client. ******** I have been using the app for a long time & it is great for me as a small business. But it is absolutely unacceptable that you now have a new “pro” version of the app & are charging for features that were free! If they were totally new features I can see that, but they were already available for free & now they aren’t! -- Harley_HD, 2024-07-29 ### *---- "Over priced" Over priced. -- Lumber-king, 2024-07-09 ### *---- "Wow Joist keeps hacking away" Goodbye joist. Just ask for money from the start. -- sushi2night, 2024-07-05 ### *---- "Tricks" This month i only produced one estimation, then i tried to convert it into invoice but joist didnt allowed its convertion because it says no more free doc left to be used:) -- icoemert, 2024-02-21 ### *---- "So disappointed" Was using this app since it was first released. I don’t mind paying a fee, but $200 a year is pretty steep. First they removed the logo option and now they only give you 2 documents. Not impressed. -- Perceptor1187, 2023-09-13 ### ***** "Changing back the invoice date" I was glad that I could change the invoice date back to a later date than what the date was when I sent it. For the customer that I was working for I Started the job couple of months before I sent him the invoice and because of his year end I was going into his next tax year. I made my customer Happy! Jerry with Twin River Eavestroughing & Exteriors. This is a good app once know how to use it. Thank you guys at Joist team!. -- Eavestroughing, 2023-07-28 ### ***** "Our best company asset" Joist has become the most important tool for building and developing our business. The estimates and invoicing are so professional and impressive, our clients rave about us. So we are here as raving fans of Joist, if you need anything or want help, just ask for Matt. He is super helpful! -- Workworkwork123, 2023-07-11 ### ***** "Helpful for my business" Very good and practical app that is easy to use. I have also found the support to be kind and helpful as well. I have no desire to use any other app and highly recommend Joist to others. -- Wireful Wade, 2023-06-15 ### ****- "Super simple has everything you need" Been using this app for the last 6 years after looking at a few others. This one seems to be the easiest and best one. I finally upgraded to the $20 a month which is absolutely reasonable after using the free version for a while. Happy to support a well designed tool. -- stayinthecourse69, 2023-05-26 ### ***** "Issues" Firstly, I love this app..used it for many years without issues. I’ve just updated the latest version on my iPad to find that I cant access anything now, yet my iPhone ( didn’t update new version yet ,thank God) is still ok. Please advise on what’s happening. Thank you Update.. upgraded my iPad, everything back to normal!!! -- pellau4848, 2023-01-26 ### ***** "All in one place" By far the most streamlined contracting software I’ve used yet! -- JBtalbrown, 2023-01-22 ### ****- "Useful" I don't like that when you add a markup to an item, it rounds to 3 decimal points. -- Rahilj😜, 2023-01-13 ### **--- "Was a great app till they betrayed their loyal original users" Really wanted to give this app 5 stars… However, very irritated that they decided to take away features and charge for them, even to users like my self whom have been using the app since it was released… I get wanting to charge for feature to new users, but have some loyalty to your original users… otherwise, you show no value to the people who helped make joist a better company… please offer some sort of a code to your OG users, because all those original users, who always kept recommending your app to everyone and other businesses, now warn them that features keep disappearing and the app requests you pay… make right by us Joist… -- Chris apple tech, 2023-01-07 ### ***-- "Joist rating" It’s taken a few things away that were there years ago. It’s still functional. -- KingJRtheFirst, 2022-12-20 ### ****- "Easy to use" Helpful! -- jessica99003, 2022-11-18 ### ***** "Joist" Run all my business on this app and honestly couldn’t be more impressed. Thanks for such a great tool !!
