Choose InvoBee if…

✓ You send more than 5 quotes and invoices a month and don't want to pay for that.
✓ Clients accept quotes online, and you take a deposit before you buy materials (deposits come off the final invoice).
✓ Bigger jobs get billed by milestone, and regular clients on a recurring schedule.
✓ Late payers are the real problem, and you'd like reminders to go out without you.
✓ Some of your clients prefer quotes and invoices in Spanish.

Stick with Joist if…

→ You rely on Joist's estimate photos, change orders or reports (Elite).
→ You prefer a native phone app. InvoBee runs in the browser and can be added to your home screen.
→ You want Joist's AI Receptionist add-on, or years of estimate history live there.

Common questions

Can I send estimates?: Yes. Send a quote; the client accepts it online, and you turn it into an invoice (or a deposit invoice first) in a tap.
Can I bring my clients over?: Yes. Export your clients as a CSV and import them into InvoBee from the Clients page.
Do my clients need an account to pay?: No. They open a link, see the invoice and pay by card or bank transfer.
How much do payments cost?: Cards cost Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ with no InvoBee markup. Bank transfers cost a 0.2% InvoBee fee plus Stripe's 0.8% (capped at $5), about 1% in total.
Is the free plan really free?: Yes. Unlimited quotes and invoices with no time limit and no card. Autopilot adds automatic follow-ups, scheduled reminders, late fees and branding.
