Why freelancers are looking beyond Bonsai
Bonsai's proposals and contracts come from a template library — useful as a starting point, but every draft still needs to be written and edited by hand.
Lead research and scoring aren't part of the platform, so you're still sourcing and qualifying prospects elsewhere.
Bonsai bundles a lot of tools into one plan, which can mean paying for features — like time tracking or accounting — that not every freelancer needs.
Pricing is typically per-user, so costs can climb as a team grows, even without a corresponding jump in AI capability.
To be fair
Bonsai's all-in-one bundle (proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking, accounting) is convenient for freelancers who want a single tool for everything.
Its template library is extensive and well-designed, which suits users who'd rather start from a proven format than a blank page.
