WorkProject HQ vs. Joist

Everything Joist Charges $100/mo For, Included From Day One.

Joist starts at $10/mo, but scheduling, job organization, and linked invoicing don't show up until their $100/mo Run plan. WorkProject HQ includes all of it for $19.99/mo — one plan, nothing to unlock.

Why It Matters

We're Not Trying to Be Everything. Just What You Actually Need.

Joist is a solid tool for quoting and invoicing — but the features that turn it into a full business system sit behind a $100/mo plan built for owner-operators managing multiple jobs. WorkProject HQ was built the other way around: scheduling, routes, job tickets, and reporting are just part of the software, not an upsell.

And if you eventually outgrow what a simple, flat-priced tool can do for your business, that's a good problem to have — we'd rather help you get there than nickel-and-dime you on the way.
