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.
QuoteIQ
Each plan fixes the number of users, so a third person means moving from Beginner to Pro, $75 a month more. Yearly billing is paid up front and works out at two months free. AI features draw on the monthly IQ Credits, and processing fees and extra usage are billed on top. QuoteIQ's own pages, read by a plain fetch on 2026-09-29 because the shared browser may not open the site, say there are no setup fees and no monthly or setup fee to turn payments on. Payments run through Stripe and no card or bank rate is printed.

Where the numbers came from

Every figure above was read from Joist and QuoteIQ on their own pricing pages on September 16 and 28, 2026. Nothing here ranks the two, because the ranking would be ours and you could not check it. These prices change, so check the current number with both before you buy.

Full pricing for Joist and QuoteIQ. To put your own crew size, add-ons and what you take on cards against both, open the true cost calculator with the two already side by side. To start from your trade and crew size instead of from these two, open the picker with Joist pinned, and it will say whether Joist makes the list for your answers.
