Looking to learn more about Time Tracking software similar to Bonsai? Check out these popular alternatives that are closest in terms of key features, functionality, and benefits.
Pros
The feature that puts it above all the rest of similar products is the accounting features. For a small, simple business, I don't need to invest in another accounting product like QuickBooks.
Timetracking helps me make sure my pricing aligns with my scope and estimates. Tasks keep the list out of my mind and on track.
Cons
The only dislike I have with Bonsai is that you cannot get instant pay right away, and starting out it will take 7-10 business days to receive your payouts.
The accounting feature is bad. It doesntautomatically categorize and you cant set rules or project revenue and expenses.
"Well worth the money"
Overall: I am only one month into my new business and I'm glad I've starting using Bonsai from the beginning. My clients signed my contracts immediately when I sent them using the electronic signature as opposed to waiting for them to sign my initial paper contract. I have yet to sent my first invoice, but it looks to be very simple. I've connected my bank so I can see all my expenses in a single app.
Pros: The interface is very clean and intuitive and is a breeze to use. The feature that puts it above all the rest of similar products is the accounting features. For a small, simple business, I don't need to invest in another accounting product like QuickBooks. It saves on costs and keeps everything in one plane of glass.
Cons: The only item that I find lacking in Bonsai is there is no Kanban board or other visual way to track tasks and projects.
"Great for Freelancers and Software Development Agencies"
Overall: Overall I love Bonsai and it is a great value for all that is included.
Pros: This software makes it super easy for me to write up contracts for my clients, collect their payments, and keep track of my existing clients along with potential leads. If you are a freelancer and you need templates for contracts and proposals, I would say this Bonsai is worth it for that alone, but when you add in the ability to collect client payments.....You can't beat it.
Cons: I believe that Bonsai is constantly improving its software and features. The only dislike I have with Bonsai is that you cannot get instant pay right away, and starting out it will take 7-10 business days to receive your payouts.
