Hello

I have been using the joist app for a while and have come to enjoy it alot

I think that taking away the feature to add photos to invoices and requiring a upgrade to the pro version with a steep monthly fee is a pretty crappy thing to do

I cannot justify $10 a month to simply add photos to an invoice which was a really Handy feature before. I wouldnt mind a one time fee to pay because i know everything cant be free but to make the fee about the same as what i pay for quickbooks online is kind of excessive. I am on the contractor forum and the general consensus is that we all feel the same

Please reconsider
Thank you

AND here is the response i received back,

They got me. Paid up for the full
Year today. Estimate looks too unprofessional to me without the logo and the ability to attach some pics.

I send a ton of estimates and invoices through joist. I will ad .40 cents to every invoice to cover this new expense [emoji106]

Well i opened my big mouth too soon and now the app is crap again

I emailed them and basically said that i would think that paying for the pro version would include both syncing with QuickBooks and all of the features that used to be free instead of double charging

I said that the two combined is pretty much what I pay monthly for QuickBooks online which is ridiculous for a simple little estimating app

I can also attach pictures to my quickbooks online estimates and invoices that i already pay for so i need to get used to that instead since i already pay for quickbooks

I switched over to SimplySend, which I'm really liking. It's free and has the same features as Joist and then some. The only thing you have to pay for is payments if you do transactions through the app (2.9% rate for everything), if any of you guys are looking for that.

They seem to be part of a larger company called FieldPulse and using the app to get people to switch to their main app, which includes stuff like job scheduling.

Some companies only need digital estimates and invoices, and we want to help you grow your business. Maybe someday you’ll need the features available in the full FieldPulse platform like job scheduling, customer communications, timesheets, team updates, and more. If that doesn’t happen, SimplySend will always be free, so there’s no expense and no commitment.​

Hope that helps some of you guys out who are also jumping ship.

I might have to check it out as well

I do have quickbooks online as well but i am not used to it and i dont think its as easy and quick as the joist app used to be. But i haven’t really given it a chance either

They have integration with QuickBooks and square so far I have been impressed with what I have seen.

I love the ability to send a test to a customer with my eta and a live GPS map of my location great for the service work I do

The desktop version of QuickBooks is amazing. Can't say that about the online version tho because I've never used it. But maybe it's a good investment too. Currently I'm working as a medicine assistant in a small company, and they also use there Joist app. Can't say anything bad about it, but QuickBooks seems to be a better option for me. Well, the only thing I didn't know is how to make an electronic signature using it, but thanks to https://pdf-to-dxf.com/blog/physicians-signature/ guide I finally find out how to do that. Looking forward to discover if QuickBooks online version is a good thing.

The app is nice and the ability to snap your recipes then QB automatically expenses it in the right category in really nice

My CPA has access to my QBO so I literally do not have to give him anything for him to do my taxes
