It handles proposals, contracts, invoicing, payments, time tracking, expenses, and client management in one place so you can run your business without juggling five different apps.

You accept payments through Stripe and PayPal, track expenses, and manage income for tax time. Bonsai starts at $9/user/month (annual). Core features like invoicing require the $19/month Essentials plan, and integrations with QuickBooks, Zapier, and Calendly need the $29/month Premium plan. |

| STOA's Verdict | Bonsai is one of the best all-in-one platforms for freelancers and small service businesses that need proposals, contracts, invoicing, and project management without paying for multiple tools. The main trade-off is that key features require higher-tier plans. If you bill clients regularly, Bonsai pays for itself by replacing 3-4 separate subscriptions. |
