Joist is an estimating, invoicing and payment app for solo contractors, priced from $10/mo to $70/mo with a $49/mo AI Receptionist add-on. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo for a 10-user handyman crew and includes scheduling, 24/7 customer self-booking, GPS time tracking, route optimization, job costing and automated review requests in one login. Every Joist figure on this page was verified on Joist’s own pricing page on September 8, 2026.
QuoteIQ is the strongest Joist alternative for a handyman business that has outgrown a one-person invoicing app. Joist does estimates, invoices, payments, client records, expense tracking and QuickBooks Online sync very well, and its Run plan added job organization and visit scheduling in 2026. What Joist’s published plan comparison still does not include is GPS time tracking, route optimization, job costing, two-way business texting, satellite measurement, customer self-quoting or 24/7 customer self-booking. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo for 10 users and includes all of it, plus InstaSchedule self-booking and job-level profit reporting. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial.
TL;DR: Joist publishes four tiers — Basics $10/mo, Pro $17/mo, Elite $32/mo and Run at an introductory $70/mo (list $100) — plus an AI Receptionist add-on from $49/mo, all verified on joist.com on September 8, 2026. Those plans cover estimates and invoicing well. They do not cover route optimization, GPS time tracking, two-way business texting, customer self-quoting, 24/7 self-booking or job costing. With 159,800 maintenance and repair openings projected each year by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the IRS business mileage rate at 76 cents since July 2026, the cost of an unplanned drive-across-town day is higher than it has ever been. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo flat for 10 users with all of the above included, and EmployeeHub on top.
When you started out, Joist made sense. Build an estimate on the tailgate, convert it to an invoice, get paid before you pull out of the driveway. For a one-person operation doing drywall patches, bathroom fixture swaps, deck repairs and door hanging, a fast mobile invoicing app is genuinely enough. Joist has been good at that for more than a decade, and it is still good at it in 2026.
What changed in 2026 is that Joist started reaching past invoicing. The company retired its free plan, restructured to four paid tiers, and launched a new plan called Run that adds job organization and visit scheduling. It also launched an AI Receptionist add-on that answers missed calls and captures leads. Any comparison written before mid-2026 — including the earlier version of this page — described a Joist that no longer exists. So this page was rebuilt from Joist’s live pricing page rather than from memory.
The honest 2026 picture is this: Joist has closed part of the scheduling gap and none of the field-operations gap. There is still no GPS location view of a clocked-in technician, no route optimization for a day of six short calls scattered across a metro, no per-job profit report that subtracts labor and materials from the ticket, no dedicated business phone number with two-way texting, no satellite measurement for a deck or a fence, and no way for a homeowner to price and book a job on your website at 9pm on a Tuesday. Those are the exact capabilities that separate a handyman who earns $48,620 a year — the BLS median wage for general maintenance and repair workers as of May 2024 — from an owner running two or three techs at a real margin.
QuoteIQ was built to run the whole handyman operation from one login: quoting, scheduling, customer communication, time tracking, materials, profit reporting and automated review collection. If you are serious about growing a handyman business past the one-truck stage, the rest of this page shows exactly where the two platforms diverge — and where Joist is still the better answer.
Joist’s free plan is gone. Joist’s pricing page states plainly that the free plan is no longer available and that new users start with a 14-day trial instead. If you have been recommending Joist to new handymen on the strength of its free tier, that advice expired in 2026. The cheapest published Joist plan is now Basics at $10/mo, capped at 5 documents per month. QuoteIQ’s entry plan, Essentials, is $29.99/mo with unlimited documents, scheduling and 500 IQ Credits of AI.
Joist Run at $70/mo introductory pricing is the only Joist tier with scheduling. Add the AI Receptionist so missed calls stop becoming lost jobs, and add a self-quoting tool so homeowners can price their own work — and the stack lands within a few dollars of QuoteIQ Elite, while still leaving out route optimization, GPS time tracking and job costing entirely.
Joist figures verified at joist.com/pricing on September 8, 2026. ResponsiBid figures verified at responsibid.com/pricing on September 8, 2026; ResponsiBid charges a one-time setup fee on paid plans and does not publish the amount — ask for it in writing. Four line items are marked “separate vendor” because no price can be quoted honestly without knowing which vendor you would choose.
Covers 10 users and 5,000 IQ Credits per month. No per-user fees. No required integrations. Annual billing is $2,990, which is two months free. Every plan includes a 14-day free trial. See the full pricing page.
Joist’s own plan comparison lists “Schedule visits” only on the Run plan, and lists no customer self-scheduling anywhere. That means a homeowner cannot book a Saturday gutter cleaning against your live calendar on any Joist tier, at any price. Your booking still depends on someone answering a phone. QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule exposes your real availability on your website and books straight into your calendar, 24 hours a day, with no phone call and no double-booking.
Joist Run plus the AI Receptionist plus a self-quoting tool is $298/mo in verified subscriptions, before a setup fee and before you have solved routing, GPS hours or job costing. QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo flat for 10 users with every one of those inside the same app. The argument for QuoteIQ is not that it is cheaper by a headline number — it is that the second, third and fourth subscription never appear, and there is nothing left to bolt on when the crew grows.

❌ in the Joist column means the capability does not appear in Joist’s published plan comparison at joist.com/pricing as checked on September 8, 2026 — not that it is impossible through some third-party workaround. ⚠ means partial or add-on. Joist’s genuine strengths — a fast mobile document workflow and a very low entry price — are covered honestly in the next section. QuoteIQ tiers follow the current QuoteIQ plan ladder; Review Multiplier is included in QuoteIQ but its exact plan tier is being finalized, so no tier is stated here.
Basics at $10/mo and Pro at $17/mo are hard to argue with for a handyman whose entire software need is “send a professional-looking estimate and take a card.” No CRM in this market undercuts that, and pretending otherwise would be dishonest. If your monthly software budget is under $20 and you have no employees, Joist Pro is a rational choice and QuoteIQ is not the cheaper option.
Joist’s app is widely praised for speed and for having very little to learn. If all you need is to write and send an estimate from a crawl space in five taps, Joist is fast at it. Fewer features means less to configure, and for a solo operator that is a real advantage rather than a euphemism.
Joist lists homeowner financing on every tier and also markets contractor lending — a business loan product aimed at its own users. QuoteIQ offers homeowner financing through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay on every plan, but it does not lend to contractors. If access to working capital inside your software matters to you, that is a point for Joist.
Joist’s advantages are price and simplicity, and they are real. They stop being advantages the day you hire a second technician, start quoting jobs you cannot measure by eye, or realize you cannot say which of last month’s forty jobs actually made money.
Joist lets you build and send an estimate, but the homeowner waits for you to build it. To put a self-service quoting form on your own website while running Joist, you add a tool like ResponsiBid at $179/mo on the Scaling plan or $229/mo on Pro, both plus a one-time setup fee, verified on ResponsiBid’s pricing page on September 8, 2026. QuoteIQ’s InstaQuote is built in on Elite and above. A homeowner who needs drywall patching, furniture assembly, a fixture swap or a gutter clean-out picks the services, sees a real total, and submits — no phone call, no waiting on you to get off a ladder.
You build the service library once with your own pricing. You share the InstaQuote link on your site, in email and on social. Customers select services and add-ons, see the total update in real time, and submit. The quote is delivered instantly by email and text, they can approve it, and you are notified. It pairs directly with InstaSchedule so an approved quote becomes a booked visit without a call.
Explore InstaQuote →Joist keeps client profiles and tracks client activity, and its AI Receptionist add-on will answer calls you miss for $49/mo and up. What it does not give you is a business number you can text from, with every message filed against the customer record. On Joist, the conversation about the door that still sticks lives in your personal messages, invisible to anyone else on the crew. QuoteIQ’s ClientHub gives you a dedicated business number with two-way calling and texting inside the app, synced across phone, tablet and desktop, with every call and text saved to the customer profile.
Two-way calling and texting from a business number, real-time notifications, multi-device sync, and call routing that can send an incoming call to a technician, an outside number or the Virtual Call Team based on time of day and availability. Messages can be drafted with AI text generation directly in the message field, and the whole thread stays attached to the job. Pair it with Client Portal so customers can approve estimates and pay without an app download.
Explore ClientHub →Joist added review management — Joist Reviews appears on its higher tiers — so the old claim that Joist has no review functionality is out of date and has been removed from this page. The difference now is in mechanics. QuoteIQ’s Review Multiplier ships two: an instant redirect to your review page the moment a customer completes payment, and a full email and SMS review-request automation with four event triggers. Destinations include Google Business Profile, Facebook, Yelp and Angi. For a handyman whose next five jobs come from a map pack ranking, the redirect is the one that moves the needle, because it catches the customer while they are still standing in the room you just fixed.
Customer pays, the review request fires, they land on your review page, and you get notified when it posts. No sticky note on the dash, no “I’ll text them tomorrow.” Combine it with email and text automations so the same completed job also triggers a six-month maintenance check-in, and with reminders and tasks for the follow-ups a machine should not own.
Explore Review Multiplier →Joist Run added internal scheduling — you can now organize jobs and schedule visits inside Joist, which is a genuine improvement. What it did not add is a way for the customer to do the booking. Nothing in Joist’s published plan comparison exposes your availability to a homeowner. So the sequence is still: they call, you miss it because you are under a sink, they call the next handyman. QuoteIQ’s InstaSchedule books against your real, live calendar from any device, at any hour, and it is reachable from all four estimate types and from InstaQuote forms.
Real availability, live-synced, no double-booking. A homeowner picks a window, you get notified, and the visit lands on the same scheduling calendar your crew already works from. Because the booking is native, Route Density can steer new bookings toward the zone you are already working, instead of scattering a Tuesday across three sides of town.
Explore InstaSchedule →The reason handyman work is hard to systemize is that no two calls are the same. One morning is a sticking storm door and a loose stair rail. The afternoon is a vanity swap and a run of quarter round. Joist handles this with line items you retype or copy from an old document. QuoteIQ handles it with a price book plus four estimate types, so the shape of the quote matches the shape of the job.
A Quick Estimate covers a same-day small repair you priced in the driveway. A Standard Estimate handles a line-itemed punch list where the homeowner wants to see each item. An Options Estimate gives good, better and best tiers — patch and paint, patch and paint plus trim repair, or the full wall refinish — which is the single fastest way to raise an average handyman ticket without raising a price. A Package Estimate bundles the recurring seasonal work: gutters, filter changes, caulk inspection, smoke detector batteries.
Common line items worth setting up on day one: drywall patching and texture matching, interior door installation and adjustment, faucet and fixture replacement, ceiling fan and light fixture installation, toilet rebuild or replacement, gutter clean-out, caulking and weatherstripping, furniture and equipment assembly, cabinet hardware, window screen repair, deck board replacement, handrail and baluster repair, tile and grout repair, garbage disposal replacement, and general half-day and full-day maintenance visits. Save the item once with your labor rate and your material markup, and it pulls into every estimate, every InstaQuote form and every recurring package after that.
For the jobs you cannot price by eye, the measurement tools do the work. MapMeasure Pro measures a deck, a driveway, a fence line or a roof plane from satellite imagery inside the estimate itself, and the screenshot attaches to the quote as proof of the scope you priced. Property Street View and Zillow Quick Access let you check the house before you drive to it. If you want to sanity-check a number against a regional baseline before you send it, the free tools do it in a minute: the deck cost calculator, the drywall cost calculator, the painting cost calculator, the gutter cleaning cost calculator, the fence cost calculator and the flooring cost calculator all live in the same place.
Most handyman work happens in older housing stock, and that puts a federal rule in play that no software can wave away. Under the EPA’s Renovation, Repair and Painting rule, every firm — including sole proprietorships — that disturbs painted surfaces in housing built before 1978 must be EPA-certified, with a certified renovator assigned to each job. Attach your firm certificate and your renovator card to every estimate that touches an older house: QuoteIQ’s contract attachments keep the PDF on the document, and e-signatures put the homeowner’s acknowledgement on the record.
Handyman economics are drive-time economics. A plumber on a four-hour repipe absorbs a thirty-minute drive without noticing. A handyman running six $150 calls in a day cannot: three bad transitions and the whole day’s margin is in the tank. Since July 1, 2026 the IRS business standard mileage rate has been 76 cents per mile, up from 72.5 cents in the first half of the year — a useful proxy for what a mile of unnecessary driving actually costs you in vehicle wear, fuel and depreciation.
This is where Joist’s plan comparison goes quiet. Nothing in it sequences a day’s stops or shows where work clusters. QuoteIQ separates the two problems deliberately. Route Density answers where — it shows where your booked work concentrates so you sell into the zone you are already serving. Route Optimization answers what order — it sequences the day for minimum drive time, respects appointment windows and job durations, recalculates when a callback gets squeezed in, and hands off to GPS navigation. QuoteIQ’s own figure for the improvement is a 15–30% cut in drive time.
Once there is a second and third person on the truck, the rest of EmployeeHub matters just as much. GPS location tracking shows a live map of the team while they are clocked in, pauses on breaks and stops at clock-out — clocked-out employees never appear on any map, which is a policy worth telling your crew about out loud. Time Tracker Pro handles GPS clock in and out, per-job hours, break counts and durations in reports and CSV, admin-only manual adjustments and a full edit history. Team Communication keeps job chatter in the app instead of a group text thread, and roles and permissions control who can see pricing, customer data and reports. Hours export to whatever payroll system you already run; QuoteIQ does not process payroll and does not calculate overtime automatically.
Ladders put more handymen in an emergency room than any tool in the van. OSHA’s construction ladder-safety guidance is specific: portable ladders must support at least four times the maximum intended load, and an access ladder must extend at least three feet above the landing. Build the ladder check into a reusable inspection form in QuoteIQ Cam so it is documented on the job record, not remembered on the drive over.
Joist gives you business reports and sales reporting, which tells you revenue. Revenue is the least interesting number in a handyman business, because the $900 day where you drove sixty miles and burned two hours on a parts run can lose to the $600 day where you never left a three-mile radius. What you need is the profit on the individual job, and that is a different feature.
QuoteIQ’s Job Costing report is deliberately simple: total price, minus labor, minus expenses, equals profit, with a margin bar on top. Labor pulls automatically from time tracking at each employee’s hourly rate against clocked hours, so it is not an estimate you typed in afterwards. Expense Tracking attaches the receipts and categorizes them, with search, filter and CSV export at tax time. The Hourly Rate Calculator tells you what you actually need to charge per hour to hit a target margin once overhead is honest, and the analytics dashboard tracks conversion rate, average ticket, completion rate, repeat rate and customer lifetime value on a customizable widget board.
Getting paid is the other half. Invoicing converts an approved estimate in one tap, with automated payment reminders, Net 15/30/60/90 terms, partial payments and deposits, and tips at checkout. Invoice Subscriptions handle the recurring maintenance client — the property manager with eleven units who wants the same quarterly visit billed on the same schedule. Online payments accept card, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with cash and checks recorded in the app. And Consumer Financing through Affirm, Klarna and Afterpay is available on every plan, including during the trial: the homeowner applies at checkout in about thirty seconds, you are paid in full up front, and the provider carries the collections risk. If you want to grab a starting document format before you build any of it out, the free handyman invoice template and the contractor invoice template are both free downloads.
Most field service platforms charge per seat, which quietly punishes you for hiring. QuoteIQ does not: Elite includes 10 users at $299/mo and Max includes unlimited users at $699/mo along with crew creation, crew scheduling and the Sales Team Tracker. If you plan to be five techs deep in eighteen months, price the software you will need then, not the software you need this week. The SBA’s guidance on managing a growing business makes the same point about every fixed cost you sign up for.
Joist’s AI story in 2026 is the AI Receptionist add-on, from $49/mo: it answers calls you miss, captures the lead and leaves you something to follow up on. That is a real product solving a real problem — missed calls are the most expensive thing in a one-person handyman business.
QuoteIQ’s approach is broader, and it is included on every plan through IQ Credits rather than sold as a separate line. AI Autopilot is conversational control of the CRM by voice or text across 55 integrated tools in 13 categories — “move all of today’s jobs to Friday and text every customer” is a single instruction, not fifteen taps. AI Estimator reads photos of the work, asks the follow-up questions a seasoned estimator would ask, and produces line-item pricing for your local market. The Before & After generator renders a realistic “after” from the actual photo in about fifteen to twenty seconds and attaches it to the estimate, which sells a $2,000 deck refinish considerably harder than a paragraph does. AI text generation drafts the customer message; Virtual Call Team answers inbound calls 24/7, qualifies leads, filters spam and transcribes every call, metered per minute out of your credit allowance.
Every AI action shows its credit cost before it runs and asks you to confirm, so nothing draws down your balance by surprise. Credits reset each billing cycle — 500 on Essentials, 1,500 on Beginner, 3,000 on Pro, 5,000 on Elite, 8,000 on Max — and the core CRM never requires them. Credits are not currency: they carry no cash value, are non-transferable and non-refundable, and expire with the account.
Annual billing is ten months for twelve. Every plan carries a 14-day free trial with full access to the features of the plan you choose.
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Users | Best fit for a handyman business |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $29.99 | $299.99 | 1 | Solo handyman replacing an invoicing app — estimates, invoicing, scheduling, e-signatures, 500 IQ Credits |
| Beginner | $74.99 | $749.99 | 2 | You plus a helper — adds MapMeasure Pro, QuoteIQ Cam, expense tracking, advanced analytics |
| Pro | $149.99 | $1,499.99 | 4 | A real crew — adds ClientHub, automations, Client Portal, Job Costing, QuickBooks Online |
| Elite | $299 | $2,990 | 10 | The Joist replacement tier — adds InstaQuote, InstaSchedule, routing, EmployeeHub, pipelines, inventory |
| Max | $699 | $6,990 | Unlimited | Multi-crew operations — adds crews, Sales Team Tracker, AI Website Builder, priority support |
Upgrades mid-cycle are prorated and credits jump immediately. Compare the full ladder on the pricing page, browse everything included on the features hub, or see how QuoteIQ lines up against other platforms in the comparison directory.
If you are one person with no plans to hire, Pro at $149.99/mo is usually the honest recommendation over Elite: it covers ClientHub, automations, Client Portal, Job Costing and QuickBooks Online for four users, and it is the tier where the platform starts replacing other subscriptions rather than adding one. Elite earns its price the moment customer self-booking, routing or GPS hours become the bottleneck — which for most handyman businesses is somewhere around the second full-time technician.
The fear that keeps people on software they have outgrown is data. It is almost always overblown. Export your client list from Joist as a CSV and run it through AI Smart Import, which maps columns automatically from Joist, Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan or any other CRM’s export format. Names, addresses, phone numbers and emails come across; you can also import straight from your phone contacts. Nothing in QuoteIQ locks the data in either — data export is available on every plan, because your customer list is yours.
Run the two platforms in parallel for two weeks if it makes you comfortable. The trial is 14 days with full access to the features of the plan you choose, so you can quote real jobs in QuoteIQ while Joist still holds your billing. Most handyman businesses find the price book is the only real work, and it is a couple of hours. If you would rather not do it yourself, Done-For-You setup is available in two tiers at $299.99 and $999.99 and includes contact import, price book setup and a one-on-one onboarding session.
A few practical notes. Historical invoices generally stay in Joist as a record — plan on exporting PDFs of anything you may need for a warranty claim or a tax question before you cancel. If you use QuickBooks, connect the QuickBooks Online integration on Pro or above before your first invoice goes out, so your chart of accounts stays clean from the first transaction rather than needing a cleanup in month three. And turn on Google Calendar sync early if your family schedule and your work schedule live in the same place — for a handyman running the business out of a home office, that one is not optional.
Import contacts, build ten price book items, send three real estimates, and turn on one automation. That is it. The businesses that stall on a migration are the ones that try to configure everything before quoting anything. Get one job through end to end — estimate, schedule, complete, invoice, review request — and the rest configures itself around how you actually work. The handyman software overview walks through the same sequence with screenshots.
From the first customer inquiry through the five-star review — how handyman businesses run quoting, scheduling, field work and follow-up from one login.
Most handyman businesses complete the switch in under 48 hours. Customer records, job types and pricing all transfer cleanly.
Pick the plan that matches the crew you have — 14 days free with full access to that plan’s features. Set up your business profile, logo and team members. Budget fifteen minutes.
Pull your client list out of Joist as a CSV and run it through AI Smart Import, which maps the columns for you. Names, addresses and contact details come across in one pass.
Load your ten most common jobs: drywall repair, door adjustment, faucet swap, fan installation, gutter clean-out, caulking, assembly, tile repair, hardware and a half-day maintenance visit. Save once, reuse on every quote.
Publish your self-booking link on your website and your Google Business Profile, and activate your business number. Customers can book a repair visit at 9pm without reaching you.
Quote it, schedule it, complete it, invoice it and let Review Multiplier fire the review request. One full lifecycle teaches you more than a week of configuration.
If you are one person with steady referral work, no plans to hire, and everything you need is a clean estimate and an invoice, Joist Pro at $17/mo is a sound choice and QuoteIQ costs more. Nothing on this page changes that. Software should be sized to the business you are running, not the one in a case study.
Plenty of excellent handymen have decided that two employees, a dispatcher’s worth of admin and a payroll run is not the life they want. That is a legitimate choice, and it makes most of what QuoteIQ Elite does irrelevant. The switch is worth it when growth is the goal — not before.
The honest test: if you cannot name the profit on your last ten jobs, or a homeowner cannot book you without reaching you by phone, you have outgrown an invoicing app. If neither of those bothers you, stay put and spend the difference on tools.
QuoteIQ was built by Mike Vidan and Justin Rogers — two operators who ran field service businesses before they built software for them. The features that matter to a handyman business, like fast quoting, self-scheduling and honest job costing, came out of running crews rather than out of a roadmap workshop.
Mike Vidan built and scaled a pressure washing and home service company before co-founding QuoteIQ. Running crews, chasing quotes and dealing with the ordinary chaos of a service business shaped the product’s priorities, and he continues to lead product decisions and contractor community content from that operator’s perspective.
Read Mike’s Insights →Justin Rogers is a serial entrepreneur and the creator of Forever Self Employed, a YouTube channel followed by a large audience of home service business owners. He co-founded QuoteIQ to build the software he wanted when he was running his own operation, and his focus on the growth problems facing small handyman and service businesses drives the roadmap.

“I’m glad i downloaded QuoteIQ, i’m a self employed handyman and i believe this app is perfect for organization. I’m excited to test out all the features i think will save me alot of time and give my customers an overall better expierience. Thankyou!”
“QuoteIQ has blown me away with its functionality. The app is a must have for anyone working in a service industry job. You no longer need 3-4 separate apps, as you can do everything in one app. The app is very intuitive, and you can be setup and operational within minutes.”
“I’m on my second year of business and have been using QuoteIQ for 4 months. It has been great for me. It reduces the time required by me to manage customer information, quoting, scheduling, and invoicing. It streamlined a lot of my processes to help grow my business.”
QuoteIQ Elite is $299/mo for a 10-person handyman team: scheduling, customer self-booking, GPS time tracking, route optimization, job costing, a business phone number and automated review requests, all in one login. Joist gives you a very good invoice. At some point you need the rest.
