Bonsai
Contracts, proposals, time tracking, and invoices for freelancers.
About Bonsai
Bonsai is an all-in-one freelance business management platform available on web, iOS, and Android covering proposals, contracts with e-signature support, project management, time tracking, invoicing, expense tracking, and a client portal. It includes legally reviewed contract templates for common freelance arrangements including service agreements, NDAs, and scope of work documents, reducing the time needed for legal setup. The client portal gives clients a branded space to review proposals, sign contracts, and pay invoices. Bonsai is used by freelance developers, designers, writers, and consultants who want their entire client engagement process — from initial proposal to final payment — managed in a single tool without piecing together separate contract, time tracking, and invoicing software.
