Fortunately for Joist, I am a creature of habit and have a hard time implementing something new, as in a new invoice app. I still have issue with the way they conducted their transitional roll out from free to paid, especially with regard to their most loyal, longest standing customers. for this reason I can't give a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating. But one thing I can attest to as of recently is their quality of customer service. despite a small hiccup in the help section of the app, help was on point. +2⭐s

I spent $89.99 on sync with quick books. There is no warning prior to purchase stating it's not compatable with Quick Books Self-employed. The QBSE phone rep is saying it's not compatable. Either I'm making a mistake that is very difficult to get fixed, since Joist doesn't have immediate contact numbers or a phone-in customer service department. Update: Joist refunded the money, thank you. Update: paid subscription? Sorry, it's not gonna happen. I can type an invoice and print it for free.

Absolutely GARBAGE!!! I paid for a lifetime subscription, early on in the development of this app. They slowly dropped features and created more costly monthly plans. Now I can only access years worth of customers, estimates and invoices, by paying minimum $7.99 a month. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I didn't use it as a "FREE APP", I paid for a lifetime subscription, which obviously generated enough money to get you to the next phase of development.

Hey Ryan, we're sorry you're disappointed. We offer monthly and annual plans to all our customers. We tried to keep Joist free as long as we could but as a business owner yourself, we hope you can appreciate that our goal was never to give away the hard work we put into building the app. We hope you understand.
