What the prices do not tell you

Contractor Foreman
The pricing page only offers annual and quarterly billing, so there is no month to month number to compare. It also carries a 100 day money back guarantee alongside the 30 day trial.
Joist
This is a quoting and invoicing app, not a field service platform: there is no dispatch board and no crew scheduling. For a solo contractor who only needs to look professional on paper it is a tenth of the price of everything else here.
