Pricing as of September 2026. Jobkore uses Stripe for payment processing — 2.9% + $0.30 per credit card transaction, 0.8% for ACH (capped at $5). Jobkore adds nothing on top.

What sets Jobkore apart.

Zero payment fees from Jobkore

Joist charges 3.49% + $0.49 on every card payment. On a $5,000 invoice, that's $175. With Jobkore, you only pay Stripe's standard rate — nothing on top.

Change orders included at $29/mo

Joist locks change orders behind their Elite plan at $32/mo. Jobkore includes full change order workflow — client approval and signature, added to the same invoice — on every account.

AI that organizes your estimates

Describe the job, upload photos or field notes, and Hank AI™ organizes everything into structured estimate sections and line items. Joist's AI is a $49/mo add-on that answers phone calls; it doesn't build estimates.

Fully bilingual — English & Spanish

Every screen, every email, every document in Jobkore works in English and Spanish. Joist is English only.
