What a crew of 5 pays

Price your own crew on Joist

The cheapest plan the vendor publishes that covers that many people.

Joist publishes no price that covers 5 people, so there is no figure to put here. What it does publish is in every plan above.

Card and bank rates

What the pricing page publishes for taking money, which for most of this kind of software is nothing.

Cards
3.49% plus $0.49 a transaction
Bank transfer
1%, capped at $15 a payment
What that means
From Joist's Payments feature page. Joist Payments lists two ways to take payment, PayPal payments and Card and bank payments, and both charge 3.49% + $.49 per transaction for credit and debit cards (US). Tap to Pay, for in-person card and mobile wallet payments on a phone, is 2.79% + $.49 per transaction and is listed under PayPal payments. ACH bank transfers are 1% per transaction, capped at $15, US only, under Card and bank payments. Buy now, pay later is 4.99% + $.49 per transaction. No rate is worded as a starting point.

What the price does not tell you

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. Which plan first includes each feature in feature_plans was read from the pricing page on 2026-10-12. The comparison table ticks QuickBooks sync on Pro, Elite and Run and leaves it blank on Basics. The $12 on the Basics card is a struck-through price the page shows only in its annual view; Basics is $10 billed monthly. Whether it does estimates and a CRM, and on which plan, was read from the pricing page on 2026-10-19.

Where the numbers came from

Every price on this page was read from the Joist pricing page on October 19, 2026, and nothing on it comes from a directory, a review site or an affiliate listing. These prices change, so check the current number with the vendor before you buy. We have not run this product on live jobs and nothing here is written as though we had.

Read the Joist pricing page, or open the true cost calculator with Joist already in it and put in your own crew size and what you take on cards. To go the other way and start from your trade, use the picker, which will say whether Joist makes the list for your answers.
