What the prices do not tell you

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.
NiceJob: This does not schedule, quote or invoice. It is on the table because reviews are the one thing most of these platforms treat as an add-on, and because a reader comparing it against a full platform is comparing two different purchases. The entry plan is called Starter on the page, not Reviews as this record had it; the price is unchanged at $75 a month and Pro at $125 (read in Chrome on 2026-09-29). No card rate or annual discount is published.
