Kickserv

The pricing page opens on annual billing, so the $60, $119 and $199 it shows first are annual rates. Billed monthly, the same plans are $75, $149 and $249. Processing $1,000 or more a month through Kickserv takes 5% off the plan. Each plan card says "Save 20% with annual subscription" (read by a plain fetch of the public page on 2026-09-29, because the shared browser is not allowed to open kickserv.com). The Kickback 5% off for processing a monthly minimum through Kickserv is a payments rebate rather than a term discount, so it stays here and not in the discount list. No card rate is published. Which plan first includes each feature in feature_plans was read from the pricing page on 2026-10-12. Dispatch mapping and GPS check-ins start on Run. Whether it does estimates and a CRM, and on which plan, was read from the pricing page and the Kickserv home page, which names estimates without saying which plan has them on 2026-10-19.

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. 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.

Every figure above was read from Kickserv and Joist on their own pricing pages on October 19, 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.
