# Bonsai pricing

All-in-one business management for freelancers (contracts + invoicing + time tracking + CRM + tax). Positioned as the alternative to running Bonsai + QuickBooks + HelloSign separately. Distinctive for bundling the freelance stack into one subscription. Restructured to 4 tiers: Basic $15 / Essentials $25 / Premium $39 / Elite $59 per user/mo. Acquired by Zoom Nov 5, 2025 (closed Dec 2025); pricing held post-acquisition. Popular with independent consultants, designers, and creators who bill 3-20 clients but hate juggling separate tools for contracts, invoicing, and accounting.

## Current entry price

**$15/month** billed monthly. **$12/month** billed annually (save 20%).

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Basic | $15 | $12 | freelancers, invoicing + contracts + basic time tracking |
| Essentials | $25 | $20 | + tax + integrations + workflows |
| Premium | $39 | $31 | teams + subaccounts + advanced accounting |
| Elite | $59 | $47 | agency scale + white-label + priority support |

## Recommendation

In other words, Bonsai is the all-in-one back office for solo freelancers and small agencies (1-15 people) — proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking, and CRM bundled instead of stitching separate tools. Basic covers solo freelancers; Essentials adds workflows and integrations; Premium scales team accounting; Elite adds white-label and priority support. Very easy setup (30-minute onboarding realistic). Native integrations with Stripe, PayPal, QuickBooks, Zapier. Downside: weaker on any single feature versus specialized tools (HelloSign for contracts, Harvest for time), and mobile app has recurring polish issues.

## Alternative to consider

Bigger agency needing specialized team tools? Pick Harvest + HelloSign + FreshBooks separately. Freelancer just needing invoicing? Wave (free) or FreshBooks.
