The QuoteAmigo difference

Know the property before you quote the job.

Property intelligence for residential contractors in 155 metro areas and expanding. The pro sends an address and chooses what to measure. QuoteAmigo returns available property details and preliminary dimensions, asks for the job description and price, and previews the quote in WhatsApp.

Enter the address

Send it through WhatsApp and confirm that we found the right property.

Create your quote

Review the approximate areas, add your prices and prepare the quote.

Send it and get paid

Send the quote for approval, then share your Venmo, Zelle or PayPal payment request.

Which one fits?

Choose the workflow that matches the way you work.

QuoteAmigo may fit better if you:

  • Want an address to become the starting point for the estimate.
  • Want preliminary room, wall, ceiling, linear or exterior quantities before defining the scope.
  • Prefer a guided WhatsApp conversation over another dashboard.
  • Already use Venmo, Zelle or PayPal to collect customer payments.

Joist may fit better if you:

  • Need formal invoicing as a core part of the same application.
  • Want estimate templates, client records and job administration in a dedicated app.
  • Want Joist-supported online payment and financing options.
  • Do not need property intelligence to be the first step.
