What the prices do not tell you

Service Autopilot
The page prints one figure a plan and says all of it is based on annual subscription rates, so there is no month to month number here. Every tier is on top of a sign up fee that is not published, and the licences are counted in two kinds: a business user is the office seat and a mobile user is the one in the van.
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.
