Bonsai Pricing and Features: Invoicing Software Review

Overview

Bonsai is a business-management workspace for freelancers, consultants and small agencies that combines proposals, contracts, projects, time tracking and invoicing. It is priced per user: Basic at US$15 per month (US$9 billed annually), Essentials at US$25 (US$19), Premium at US$39 (US$29) and Elite, with a three-user minimum, at US$59 (US$49)^[13].

Invoices and payments start on the Essentials plan; billing features listed include unlimited invoices, online payments, retainer invoices, subscription invoices, scheduled sending, locked attachments, multi-currency billing and the attachment of time entries and expenses to invoices, with expense mark-up on Elite^[13]. A seven-day trial gives full access^[13]. Bonsai’s strength is linking invoices to the work that produced them, which suits agencies billing retainers and hours. The cheapest Basic plan does not include invoicing, the trial is shorter than most competitors’ 30 days, and the pricing page says payment fees vary by method without listing them^[13].
