Owner Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/12/2019 "Simple All-in-One System for Biz Owners" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Bonsai? Bonsai is great at saving you time and is perfect for a newbie freelancer who might not have a great contract or isn't familiar with invoicing and proposals. Bonsai puts everything together for you and all your really need to do is pop in your logo or add some information to their ready to go contract templates. The interface is really sleek and the program is easy to use for beginners or more experienced business owners. The flexibility of their plans is great, they have a free option if you want to give it a try or don't need a lot of flashy features. The team seems quick to add new features and listen to what people want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bonsai? My major dislike with Bonsai was the fact that I couldn't customize the contract templates they provide. BUT they have changed that and you can now use a blank contract. I do think Bonsai is a bit constricting and you don't have quite as much control as something like Dubsado which let's you build complex forms and workflows. Bonsai excels at simplicity but if you need advanced features you won't find them here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bonsai solving and how is that benefiting you? Having all your business things in one place is such a life saver and will radically change your business. Being able to send contracts, invoices, proposals, track time, and projects that can all work together and speak together on one website is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We create, send and track online project proposals to potential clients easily. There are many templates and customizing features to make our proposals look professional and we receive feedback on progress of our proposals. We are able to track expenses on project, we get tax estimates and recurring payments are done automatically in the system. Bonsai is also available across platforms so we input data and get insights wherever we are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bonsai? Bonsai has so many hidden features that one to make full use of them needs to be trained and it costs us to train our staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Bonsai: In a busy world there is more need of automation software so that we can focus on pressing tasks to increase productivity. Bonsai handles everything on project finances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bonsai solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sure easy and customizable contract for freelancers like me who need the legal protection but don't know how to write a proper contract / don't have the resources to hire a lawyer. Highly recommend and have already recommended multiple times to my students who I teach illustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Bonsai? Perhaps there could be a few more questions when building the contract form so that the contract can be a little bit more personalized towards the customers. Is there a mobile app as well? It would be nice to have a mobile application for those who are on the go a lot. How is your customer support? My biggest pet peeve with new companies and start ups is that sometimes if there's a glitch resolving it with customer support is so complicated that I just end up switching the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Bonsai: I highly recommend Bonsai for freelancer and designers starting their careers. I'm teaching a class on illustration and building up a career as a freelancer and I always recommend it to my students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Bonsai solving and how is that benefiting you? It has given me great protection with international clients especially. I have used the contracts I have made with bonsai to secure the client's payment and trust. It really is a great tool for creating good contracts. I haven't used the other features like Invoicing etc, but after my great experience with the contracts part I'm excited to try them as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
