### "taking advantage of people" — 1.0/5

> **Jessica** | *5 August 2024* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: There are no pros to a company that makes you have to pay $96.00 for a plan just to send a estimate in a email\!
> 
> **Cons**: If I could give a 0 star I would\! Ya know I understand things are changing but when you take your company \& turn it over to where your customers of 8 yrs can not even log into their account to delete that account, access any of their info/records that they have had for all them 8 yrs without having to pay for a subscription plan of the lowest plan of $96.00\! You know nothing about it you go to log into to type up \& send an estimate \& 3 plans pop up above it states choose a plan or log out. I get on chat send them a message \& waited over a hour for a reply from a bot for them to say no we can not give you access to your account, your records, all the estimates etc you have done on that account for 8 years unless you pay us and sign up for a subscription plan\! Seriously wow who does that?\! And whats even sadder the $96.00 only covers sending estimates something you were already doing and then allowing to accept payments from clients through their company so you can pay them also to get your own money and oh lets add that you dont need nor do you want those services but are being made to do so if you want to access your account that you have had for 8 yrs. And then to not even give someone the option to delete \& deactivate their own account is something I will never understand. Let me add that I do not give this company nor anyone else access to my information on my account. I do not give access to my name, address, phone number, email. card info, client intel, estimates, invoices, no information on my account for any reason.

> We have been using Joist for 8 years sending estimates through emails then when we go to log into our accounts to access our information and send a email we can not even log into our account. 3 plans pop up the cheapest plan was $96.00 and it only came with two options which was to send estimates and to allow to accept payments through them so they can profit off of you by sending a estimate when we dont even charge to do an estimate to begin with and even if I did I would not pay to send a email. Then when you ask them how can you get into the account at least to get all of your information off of it and the delete and deactivate the account they tell you no you can not have access to your account unless you pay for a subscription plan of at least $96.00 a month which I would never pay that much money just to send a estimate through a email. It is sad to take advantage of people especially at a time like this during an inflation. There are other ways to send estimates for free and not have to pay to do so.
