## Reviews

### "Joist Review" — 5.0/5

> **Amanda** | *June 12, 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our company used Joist for a couple of years, and overall, it was a solid tool especially when we were just starting out. Creating and sending estimates and invoices was fast and simple. The app gave our documents a professional look, and the ability to collect digital signatures and payments right through the platform made things really convenient. It definitely helped streamline our day-to-day operations and saved us time in the field.
> 
> **Cons**: As our company grew, we started to feel limited by Joist. The reporting features were basic and didn’t give us the depth we needed for larger-scale operations. Integration with accounting software was minimal, which meant more manual work. Customer support also wasn’t always responsive when we had technical questions. It’s a great tool for small contractors, but may not scale well for bigger teams or businesses with more complex needs.
> 
> Overall, Joist was a great solution for us in the early stages of our business. It helped us stay organized and operate efficiently. While we eventually outgrew it and moved to a more advanced system, we still believe Joist is a great option for small to mid-sized contractors looking for a simple and effective invoicing and estimating app.

### "Go to software for on the go contractors" — 5.0/5

> **Devon** | *October 27, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I found Joist is an easy to use software that simplifies the "office" part for, on the go contractors.  Easy to learn and use. quick and professional service that adds value to your company.
> 
> **Cons**: The only area i would try to improve on is the description and task lines. Its good it saves previous work but when every job consists of different details it inputs too much info not related or needing to be switched and updated.
> 
> Great all around. joist performed the tasks i needed and more. Lots of different options and paying options as well/

### "Easy payments app for contractors" — 4.0/5

> **Mehran** | *January 19, 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its compatibility to use on different devices.It is avaliable on computers,mobile phones(android and ios) which means joist can be used by everyone on any type of device
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes it takes time to review and verify payments which also leads to double payment if we try to do the payment again
> 
> It helps to create professional invoices and we can add any information to the invoices be it the logo of our company or a note at the end.It helps with managing different clients without any problems and the data is automatically synced across different devices.They also help with onboarding and successful creation of account. It also helps the customer with payments as the customes can easily pay with different methods including credit cards.I would definitely recommend joist to contractors
