## Reviews

### "So far so good\!" — 5.0/5

> **Daniela** | *8 July 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: one tool for all needs: CRM, Invoicing, scheduling. One stop shop.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't believe they charge extra for the tax solution when the whole differentiator is beingthis one-stop shop. Also, couldn't connect my bank account and credit card for expenses tracking.
> 
> So far so good. Love the UX, willing to giving it more time to try but maybe will have to switch to "rounded".

### "Bonsai is the easiest CRM I've ever used\!" — 5.0/5

> **Lauren** | *25 September 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Bonsai is user friendly yet it has all the necessary features and is uncomplicated.  I am able to integrate the needed applications to conduct business and keep everything in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: Bonsai integrates with my google calendar and gmail.  This allows me to use it to send/receive emails and to schedule, however it doesn't allow me to view my calendar or email box.  This is not as much of an issue regarding emails but having to navigate outside of the program for the calendar is not the best functionality. The other con is that I cannot preview the client portal as they see it; this function would make it simple to walk them through it when onboarding them (or to create a video doing so).
> 
> 9/10.  I just started my business and tried several other CRM platforms for days and got no where.  With Bonsai, I had my entire set up done in less than an hour. It's very intuitive and easy to use.

### "Digital market agency CRM" — 4.0/5

> **Balaji** | *16 October 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: sales automation, projects management, tasks management
> 
> **Cons**: lack of some feature on client portal, clients not sync with quickbooks

### "Try it, it's been helpful" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *7 August 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It made starting my business so much easier\!
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the screens were a bit counterintuitive.
> 
> It's been really great for contracts, project tracking, and invoices

### "I finally have time to actually work on my business\!" — 5.0/5

> **Claudia** | *29 October 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Bonsai has been a game-changer for my freelance business\! It's like having a personal assistant that handles all the tedious admin work. The templated contracts save me a lot of time on paperwork, and I love how everything updates automatically when payments come in, or projects move forward. Their automated workflows help me set up when documents and updates get sent to clients. Everything is streamlined, from project management to time tracking, helping me stay profitable. Plus, their customer service is exceptional. Always helpful and responsive when I need them. They listen to my feedback and consider feature requests, making me feel valued as a customer. I can finally focus on what matters: growing my business. Definitely worth the investment\!
> 
> **Cons**: As a solo-preneur, taking time to learn new software can be challenging, especially with so many features to explore. But Bonsai has a very intuitive interface, so I got comfortable with everything in just a few days. Worth the effort\!
