Proposals
While we both offer templates to speed up your document creation process, Bonsai is clearly focused only on freelancers. With Better Proposals, you will find beautifully designed templates for your needs, no matter the size of your business.
We also know there's more to a successful sales document than design. That's why we offer custom branding and you can send all your documents from your own domain. And if you want to take it up a notch, you can integrate live chat to get instant client feedback. This not only saves you and your client time on sending emails back and forth, but also lets you make live changes to your docs. In addition to that, our Document Checker analyzes your industry data to get you the highest conversion rates possible.
No design skills required
Process, share, and store your proposals quicker, easier, and more securely than ever.
And the best part is, you won't need a team to make it perfect.
Pricing
At first glance, Bonsai seems like the more affordable option with their lowest plan at $15/month. That is, until you realize it only lets you track time and projects. To send proposals and contracts, you’ll need to go with their $25/month plan. That said, if you want to remove their branding, you’ll need to skip both of these and go straight to Premium at $39/month.
With Better Proposals, you can do all that, plus collect payments, for $29/month. You also won't have to change platforms when your business starts growing. Our 40+ integrations, advanced analytics, and team management features make sure of that.

Payment integrations
