Why I use Bonsai

Its been a game changer and it helped me scale my bsuiness.

Avantages

Bonsai is easy to get started, and I was up and running in no time. I like how easily I am able to create and send invoices to my clients.

Inconvénients

I wish there were a chat widget feature that I could install on my website similar to Sharpspring or HubSpot. Perhaps some collaboration with Webflow.

Overall, I love this platform. It's straightforward and pleasant to look at. Once the mobile application can action creating proposals and contracts, making projects, adding clients and not just acting as a "review what's up in your business" companion application...

Avantages

The ease of creating projects, setting up and sending proposals, and tracking billing.

Inconvénients

Sometimes projects move quickly, and certain actions have to become manual. Expense tracking can be tricky as well — I've had issues (likely bugs) where my expenses double or even triple which throws off P&L reports. The mobile application is VERY limited, often defaulting to the desktop version for common actions.

Shady business practices and terrible customer service

Horrible experience, they have their system setup to auto charge you after the trial expires and don't send any sort of email notifications to let you know you're trial is being paid. Customer service is useless and not helpful. Please check other reviews as t here are plenty of examples from others of cancelling of accounts and holding customer paid funds.

Avantages

I wouldn't recommend bonsai to anyone who runs a business

Inconvénients

Shady business practices and terrible customer service

It's been very good! Bonsai has taken the headache out of invoicing and financial management. I know what money is due when and from who, all with automatic reminders and overdue interest accrual. Their support has also been extremely helpful :)

Avantages

Super easy invoicing, great dashboard, beautiful looking templates

Inconvénients

Not very powerful time tracking and general navigation is a little slow

Bonsai improved my business 100%

Before Bonsai I was using many programs for proposals, CRM, invoicing, and contracts. Since switching to Bonsai I honestly have to say that I have saved several thousand dollars per year and my life has been much easier and more organized. Bonsai has systems that have automation so if a customer does one particular item the Bonsai system will automatically send an email with a form that I would like my customer to submit. Bonsai is definitely a game changer and I would highly recommend any business owner to look at their system and hopefully see the benefits that they can receive by using Bonsai.

Avantages

Bonsai makes everything extremely streamlined and very easy and user-friendly. From the time I input a lead to creating the proposal to invoicing the customer and finalizing the project, Bonsai makes everything hassle-free and extremely easy.

Inconvénients

The only suggestion I would have or like to see for Bonsai would be for them to allow me as the business owner to arrange the look and feel of how my customer dashboard is arranged.

Pourquoi choisir Bonsai 

Bonsai offered a free trial for their processor and I was immediately interested because everything was handled through Bonsai and no additional work was needed.

Pourquoi passer à Bonsai

Bonsai is made for the small to medium size business owner and there was no need for the outrageously over priced salesforce CRM.

So far it's going great. I'm moving my operation to Bonsai.

Avantages

Ease of use, definitely. Everything is right there, intuitive.

Inconvénients

I wish I could add one member for free, instead of 9 usd. I'd like to have a ticketing system. But I'll use a form for it, for now.I wish I could create proposals by just adding the services I've already added to the "Services" tab.

Before Bonsai, it was often difficult to get paid by clients. With Bonsai's flexible online payment options and professional appearance, I usually get paid immediately on sending invoices. Same with proposals: clients love that they can pick and choose from the options I present to them and then we can revisit options later.

Avantages

We're a very small shop, but Bonsai makes us look as professional as our larger competitors and helps us manage our proposal development, time tracking and online invoicing without a huge time investment in learning the software.

Inconvénients

When I'm setting up new clients and developing proposals, I don't want to enter the client's real email address initially and accidentally send them something that's not ready for them yet, so I have to go out and create fake email addresses that I use temporarily. Would be great if there were an option to not have to enter emails initially, or if there were a fake email address option built into Bonsai.

Love Bonsai and would recommend

Publié le 13/03/2023

Avantages

What's NOT the most impactful LOL! I use Bonsai for EVERY PART OF MY PROJECT ( well that, and the Google Drive). From storing client information, to creating projects, invoices, time tracking, invoices, contracts et all... Bonsai has really streamlined the administration side of my small business. They are also SUPER quick to respond with support when needed. Huge Fan of Bonsai and happy I chose them over everyone else <3

Inconvénients

I would love to be able to add my accountant to the accounting area without having to add her as a partner... and I love the idea of the cash feature and envelopes just wish you could make this work with an external bank as I prefer to run my business account separate to the Bonsai system

Publié le 18/05/2023

Avantages

I like being able to streamline proposal creation and manage proposals, contracts, invoices, and tasks in one app.

Inconvénients

Initially, setting up tasks and adding in custom hours worked (vs recording them) was a little unclear, but I figured it out.

Excellent experience! When I requested an extension of the free trial, there was no problem. So that solved the only Con I experienced. I look forward to using Bonsai for my small business.

Avantages

Great UI experience. Very easy to use. I have used many different invoicing softwares in the past, and I found Bonsai to be the easiest to navigate and find what I was looking for.

Inconvénients

Free trial was not long enough to get a feel for the entire experience of invoicing and receiving payment.

Never had an issue before until a client I recently acquired that Bonsai has held my funds since October 5th and it is as of to date October 9th not been resolved and no hopes of it being resolved quickly.

Avantages

Invoicing, time tracking and also like the organization and link to Intuit and Quickbooks.

Inconvénients

High processing fees for payment and HORRIBLE timing to release payment. No Customer service number to speak with a human. Poor turn around response, believe it to be AI Generated. Disgusting customer service resolution and unacceptable responses to major concerns regarding payments.

That being said, the exceptional customer service from Bonsai's team has made a real difference in my experience. They are always available to answer my questions and provide support, which is a rare find in today's digital landscape.Overall, I would recommend Bonsai to any freelancer or small business owner who values high-quality customer service and wants to streamline their workflow. While the price may be on the higher side, the time and effort saved on invoicing and contract management may make it worth it for some. However, those looking for more comprehensive proposal creation and onboarding features may want to explore other options.

Avantages

Bonsai has truly been a game-changer for my freelance business. As a solo entrepreneur, I was struggling to keep track of my finances, contracts, and invoicing, which took up way too much of my time and energy. But ever since I started using Bonsai, everything has become so much more streamlined and effortless.Bonsai's user-friendly platform and intuitive features have made it easy for me to create and customize professional contracts and invoices that perfectly match my branding. Their built-in time tracking tool is a lifesaver, allowing me to track my hours and bill my clients accurately without any hassle.What really sets Bonsai apart, however, is their exceptional customer service. Their team is always available to answer my questions and provide support, and they go above and beyond to make sure that I am happy with their product.Overall, I cannot recommend Bonsai enough to any freelancers or small business owners out there who want to streamline their workflow and save time. Thanks to Bonsai, I have more time and energy to focus on what really matters - growing my business and serving my clients.

Inconvénients

Bonsai has been a helpful tool for my freelance business, but it does come at a higher price point compared to some of its competitors. While the user-friendly platform and built-in time tracking features have saved me time and effort on invoicing and contract management, I do wish that Bonsai could do more in terms of proposal creation and onboarding new clients.

It's been a year that I manage all my client contracts, proposals and bills with Bonsai and it has been a game changer! Thanks for this wonderful app! I always recommend it to my entrepreneur friends and colleagues that want to launch their business!

Avantages

I love the ease of use of Bonsai, its personalized templates and the modern aspect of the app. As a designer I need to have good looking proposal and the app makes it really easy to customize documents.

Inconvénients

The fees that are applied when the client pays online can be a pain point for some of my clients, and can extend to more than 3%. Bonsai is a great app but I would love to have lowers payment fees to keep my prices as they appear on my proposals.

As someone who is primarily a creative, having some of the business elements of my work streamlined through Bonsai has been very helpful in taking care of my clients. Best investment I've made in my business.

Avantages

I'm a freelance writer and editor, and the business interface options have added to the sense of professionalism around my company. For me specifically, the invoicing, online payment options, and tax prep options have been lifesavers for me. Knowing I have an invoice history with details of payment processing fees, as well as space to track my expenses throughout the year, has made my taxes easier too.

Inconvénients

Some tutorials on using templates and some of the automation options would be helpful.
