Stay with Joist
- Joist is already how you write estimates and invoices, and you do not need another login for a second business.
- You want that product to stay the place you bill, without a one-way push to QuickBooks Online or Xero.
EZ Invoice vs Joist
The invoice and the tax. Several companies, one login.
EZ Invoice is built for contractors who bill more than one company and keep books in QuickBooks Online or Xero. Joist’s public pricing stays on their page.
| Topic | Joist | EZ Invoice |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Verified figure to be added. | One plan: $15 / month or $149 / year. Every feature is included. |
| Free tier | Verified figure to be added. | No free plan. Confirm your email, then start the one plan — every feature is on. |
| Companies in one login | Verified figure to be added. | Color tabs for each business, one login and one subscription. |
| Sales tax | Verified figure to be added. | Tax only where you have nexus. The rate is the client’s city and county from their ZIP. |
| Push to QuickBooks Online and Xero | Verified figure to be added. | One-way push of invoices, payments, and expenses to QuickBooks Online and Xero. We never pull. Later edits here do not update the copy already in the ledger. Deleting an invoice here leaves it there. |
| Payment options | Verified figure to be added. | Clients pay through Stripe, Square, or PayPal. |
| Cut of your payments | Verified figure to be added. | We do not take a cut when a client pays by card. Processor fees stay with Stripe, Square, or PayPal. |
| Cloud export | Verified figure to be added. | Send the PDF or export to the Drive, OneDrive, or Box folder you connected. |
| Time tracking | Verified figure to be added. | Log hours against a client or job, then put them on the invoice. |

Who should pick Joist instead
Stay with Joist if it is already how you estimate and invoice and that is enough. EZ Invoice is the document, the tax, the expense, and a one-way push to a ledger you already keep. It is not a field-service system and it is not a second set of books.
