What the prices do not tell you
- Tradify
- Every seat costs the same, so five people on Pro is $255 a month and there is no included-users cliff to fall off. That is dearer than the bundled plans at five and cheaper than most of them at two.
- 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.
