Question 1

What is the best free alternative to Joist for contractors?

Accepted Answer

TitanQuote is the best free alternative to Joist. Unlike Joist, which limits the free tier to 5 documents per month, TitanQuote offers unlimited quotes on the free Starter plan with no monthly fee. TitanQuote also includes digital e-signature and Stripe deposit collection on the free plan.

Question 2

Is there a quoting app built specifically for solo contractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TitanQuote is built specifically for solo contractors and small trade crews — HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, painters, and landscapers. Unlike Jobber or Housecall Pro, which are designed for multi-truck fleets, TitanQuote focuses on getting a professional quote signed and a deposit collected before you leave the job site.

Question 3

How can I collect a deposit on the job site without chasing the customer?

Accepted Answer

With TitanQuote, the deposit is collected automatically. When the customer signs the quote digitally, a payment form appears immediately on the same page. They pay via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card on the spot. The deposit hits your account before you pull out of the driveway.

Question 4

Does TitanQuote require a monthly subscription?

Accepted Answer

No. TitanQuote's Starter plan is free forever with no monthly fee and no credit card required. You can send unlimited quotes, collect digital signatures, and accept Stripe deposits on the free plan. A 1% platform fee applies to deposits on the Starter plan. Upgrading to Pro ($39/month) removes the fee and unlocks AI features.

Question 5

What is Voice-to-Quote and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Voice-to-Quote lets you build an estimate by speaking instead of typing. Tap the microphone, describe the work out loud in English, Spanish, or Russian, and TitanQuote automatically transcribes and formats it into a professional line item with a title, description, and pricing. It is a single seamless action — no editing required.

Question 6

How is TitanQuote different from Jobber or Housecall Pro?

Accepted Answer

Jobber and Housecall Pro are built for multi-technician businesses with dispatch boards starting at $49-$79/month. TitanQuote is built for the solo operator who needs to quote fast and get paid on the spot. It starts free, takes 30 seconds to set up, and requires no training or catalog before sending your first quote.
