### Most mentioned pros

- I like the ability to attach a pdf to the invoice (like bank wire information if the client prefers to pay with that over a credit card payment).
- Bonsai has everything you need to run a freelancer or small business operation all in the same UI, without having to add apps or move into different interfaces.
- Bonsai has everything that we are looking for with our company, Invoicing, security and the electronic signatures which we are very excited for.

### Most mentioned cons

- Bookkeping automatically logs processing fees as expenses and can track other manually inputted expenses but cannot track multiple bank accounts / check writing, payroll, etc.
- It also doesn't seem to have features suitable to handle businesses with high volume of anything (no way to track/run reports) Although there are options to add "team" members for a monthly fee, Bonsai doesn't really recognize that a business owner might need to set user permissions or have employees involved in some but not every aspect of a business.
- Horrible experience, they have their system setup to auto charge you after the trial expires and don't send any sort of email notifications to let you know you're trial is being paid.

### Bonsai Is The Best All-Around Product For Managing a Freelancer / Small Business

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: David C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Information Technology and Services

I've been using Bonsai for over five years now and over that time have taken a look at the competition to see if maybe they're better or cheaper. Spoiler alert: they're not! Bonsai has everything you need to run a freelancer or small business operation all in the same UI, without having to add apps or move into different interfaces.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

I've tried just about all the products out there for managing proposals, contracts, invoicing and more as a freelancer, and Bonsai is still the one for me. It's priced less than the competition but gives you more features, and the UI is much better than others.

#### Cons

The mobile app is great for viewing things and doing quick adds. About the main thing that it doesn't do as well is time tracking—can't be as granular on the project specifics in the mobile app as I can on the desktop app.

#### Reasons for choosing Bonsai

Many of the competing products didn't have as much ability to offer clients granular options in proposals and didn't let me put in as much content on the proposals—just single line items instead of paragraphs. Some platforms required adding apps (often at extra cost) to do things that are natively built in to the Bonsai UI. Just a much better overall user experience for me as the freelancer and also for my clients.

Overall, it is a stable platform and has been constantly updated. I hope they will focus on agencies rather than freelancers. I also hope they would integrate other payment software for flexibility

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

Bonsai Is an All-Around great platform for a marketing agency. Its winning point is its proposals and upsell capability

#### Cons

Still Lacks Native Integrations. It sends you to Zapier for many. I Also Wish they would integrate AI for workflow like many other competitors.

#### Reasons for choosing Bonsai

It's stable with the least amount of bugs for the price point.

### Great interface, poor quality, money grabbing company

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Brandon B.

If you’re a freelancer looking for something to get started very quickly, then Bonsai will be great. If you are growing beyond that, I would consider looking elsewhere. They are not scaling to support that type of customer, and it’s too easy for them to find new ways to grab more money for the same or fewer features, some of which don’t work.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 2/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

Bonsai makes it easy to get started as a freelancer. Proposals, contracts, and payment processing is made easy.

#### Cons

In the 5 years I’ve been using Bonsai, they have introduced only two net new product features. One of which is Bonsai Payments, which is a competitor to Stripe, which they already supported. The second, Bonsai Tax, which stripped some existing and included functionality from the original offering and turned it into an add on feature for an extra $100/year. They have revamped some existing features, but they lack execution, and there are very obvious gaps in product requirements that have yet to be filled. I report a new bug almost every single time I log in, and every single time it’s confirmed by the product team. They’ve raised prices by >150% in only a few years and not improved the platform enough to warrant that.

### Bonsai is the easiest CRM I've ever used!

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Lauren E.
- Verified reviewer: Yes

9/10. I just started my business and tried several other CRM platforms for days and got no where. With Bonsai, I had my entire set up done in less than an hour. It's very intuitive and easy to use.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Bonsai is user friendly yet it has all the necessary features and is uncomplicated. I am able to integrate the needed applications to conduct business and keep everything in one place.

#### Cons

Bonsai integrates with my google calendar and gmail. This allows me to use it to send/receive emails and to schedule, however it doesn't allow me to view my calendar or email box. This is not as much of an issue regarding emails but having to navigate outside of the program for the calendar is not the best functionality. The other con is that I cannot preview the client portal as they see it; this function would make it simple to walk them through it when onboarding them (or to create a video doing so).

#### Reasons for choosing Bonsai

Odoo was noisy and required knowledge of how it works to set up. Bonsai was simple yet offered the integrations and features I needed.

#### Reasons for switching to Bonsai

Ease of use. Click up had all these work arounds that were difficult to integrate. Bonsai is user friendly and very intuitive. This means as my team grows, no training will be required.

### Best project management tool for our agency!

Bonsai has significantly boosted our team's productivity, allowing us to focus more on delivering quality services to our clients. We highly recommend it to any agency or other type of small business looking to improve their business processes.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

As a creative agency of over 15+ professionals, Bonsai has transformed our workflow. We started using them when we were only 2 people on the team, and we used Bonsai only for a few features at the beginning (proposals, contracts and invoicing). But as our team grew to nearly 20 people now, we started needing more features, and surprisingly, Bonsai grew as well and launched the features we needed like project management and budgeting, team resource planning and business profitability overview. It made our operations more efficient by simplifying the overall project management process and working with clients. We also tested a few other tools in the meantime but Bonsai was the only one that hit the sweet spot of easiness of use and a comprehensive list of features that seem to be specifically built for agency workflows. Additionally, the customer support is top-notch, always responsive and knowledgeable.

#### Cons

The only thing I'd suggest is to have maybe a little bit more design/structure control over client portal.

#### Reasons for switching to Bonsai

Bonsai is very easy to use, our whole team likes it, simple client and project management, also the workflows are just what we were looking for. Clean interface, and has a very affordable pricing compared with competitors.

### Great for invoicing

Bonsai is a strong all in one system for freelancers and small service teams who want to run proposals contracts and payments without juggling multiple apps. It is quick to learn and it keeps cash flow and client communication organized. If you need heavy duty CRM or full accounting features you will still pair it with other tools but for everyday operations it delivers a smooth streamlined experience.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Bonsai brings proposals contracts invoicing and time tracking into one clean workspace. The templates and e signature make it fast to send professional paperwork. I like the recurring invoices retainers and automatic payment reminders. The client portal keeps messages files and approvals in one place which cuts down on email ping pong.

#### Cons

Pricing can climb as you add teammates or advanced features. Project management is fine for simple tasks but it is not as deep as a dedicated tool. Report customization is limited and invoice layouts do not offer a lot of design freedom. Multi currency and tax settings may require manual tweaks if you work across regions.

#### Pros

Bonsai has been a game-changer for my freelance business! It's like having a personal assistant that handles all the tedious admin work. The templated contracts save me a lot of time on paperwork, and I love how everything updates automatically when payments come in, or projects move forward. Their automated workflows help me set up when documents and updates get sent to clients. Everything is streamlined, from project management to time tracking, helping me stay profitable. Plus, their customer service is exceptional. Always helpful and responsive when I need them. They listen to my feedback and consider feature requests, making me feel valued as a customer. I can finally focus on what matters: growing my business. Definitely worth the investment!

#### Cons

As a solo-preneur, taking time to learn new software can be challenging, especially with so many features to explore. But Bonsai has a very intuitive interface, so I got comfortable with everything in just a few days. Worth the effort!

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

Bonsai is such a great tool for freelancers and small businesses like myself. It is the most cost-effective software out there to have CRM, project management, proposal & contract management, e-signature, scheduling/booking, time & expense tracking tools in one single place. We compared the cost of having each of these tools individually with other providers, and Bonsai just can't be beaten. On top of that, the user experience is so seamlesss. Very easy to set up and looks modern and clean!

#### Cons

The only thing I don't use as much in Bonsai is the project management tool since I think there are other free alternatives out there that work and can be set up in a more customized way. But Bonsai gives a great starting point to those who have nothing like that set up now. Another thing could be that I like data and reports, but these insights in Bonsai are only included in more advanced memberships, which could turn pricey for smaller businesses.

#### Pros

I'm a freelance writer and editor, and the business interface options have added to the sense of professionalism around my company. For me specifically, the invoicing, online payment options, and tax prep options have been lifesavers for me. Knowing I have an invoice history with details of payment processing fees, as well as space to track my expenses throughout the year, has made my taxes easier too.

#### Cons

Some tutorials on using templates and some of the automation options would be helpful.

This software makes it super easy for me to write up contracts for my clients, collect their payments, and keep track of my existing clients along with potential leads. If you are a freelancer and you need templates for contracts and proposals, I would say this Bonsai is worth it for that alone, but when you add in the ability to collect client payments.....You can't beat it.

#### Cons

I believe that Bonsai is constantly improving its software and features. The only dislike I have with Bonsai is that you cannot get instant pay right away, and starting out it will take 7-10 business days to receive your payouts.
