Really loving Bonsai for my consulting practice… Really loving Bonsai for my grantwriting consulting practice! I'm surprised to find a platform that does proposals, contracts, time tracking, invoicing, client data collection and project/task management all in one place. It's been saving me valuable time on the admin side of my business. Especially loving the user-friendly proposal acceptance / contract signature features, and the automation capabilities, which have enabled me to send invoices, payment reminders, and forms automatically instead of manually. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is the process for importing data from my prior time-tracking program hasn't been the easiest. But other than that, the Bonsai platform is fantastic for a freelancer or consultant.

Bonsai / Hello Bonsai is Terrible Bonsai / Hello Bonsai is absolutely terrible. They charge ridiculous transaction fees and then hold your money up for weeks after the payment has been made. Absolutely infuriating, they have massively screwed up my business. I wish I had known this before signing up with them. I canceled my account with them as soon as I learned about their predatory practices. Literally, any other service would be better than Bonsai. In addition, Bonsai support is practically non-existent. I have never paid so much for a service and not been able to get an actual person on the phone to try to resolve even the most basic issues.

Simply the best payment platform for freelancers Bonsai is so easy to use and helps me keep my business looking professional. It makes it so easy for my clients to sign contracts and pay invoices, and gives me good records of everything. And if that wasn't enough, their customer support team is awesome! They're responsive and listen to what their users need, they're quick to reply if you have an issue, and so patient and helpful. Wouldn't use any other payment platform!

Bonsai is a great tool that has helped… Bonsai is a great tool that has helped make freelancing 10x easier. It has time tracking, invoicing and proposal templates, integrated payments, banking, and even has white-label client portal support. A lot of value for a low monthly or annual subscription. Support has been incredibly helpful with getting me unblocked when I've run into issues, and have even taken my feedback and added it to a feature request board where I can track progress. Overall great team and very helpful product.

Absolutely LOVE having all my admin… Absolutely LOVE having all my admin stuff in one place. Proposals, contracts, invoices, client CRM, checking account, taxes, accounting..... I could keep going. I'm a big believer in keeping things simple in all aspects of my life and Bonsai helps me do that with my freelance business!
