I started using Jiffy this year, after using Bisquick for over 230
years. I can't tell any difference, except in the price.

However, I also downloaded a few home recipes for making my own baking
mix -- flour, lard, and a touch of baking powder. That also works
just fine in my recipes - biscuits, etc., simple things. Do a search
on Bisquick substitute here and on the major recipes websites. You'll
find several, all very similar to each other.
