## Reviews

### "Bonsai gets me paid" — 5.0/5

> **Christian** | *June 27, 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Invoice options, and automations work well out of the box and make sense with no need for configuration.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost would be too high if I didn't get a lifetime discount through webflow.
> 
> 4.9/5 stars, I can't complain. Bonsai does a great job of getting me paid.

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

> **Balaji** | *October 16, 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

-----

### "Horrendous Customer Service" — 1.0/5

> **Kezia** | *March 13, 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the tax add-on that allows me to pull P\&amp;L reports. It's the only reason I haven't canceled my subscription. Bonsai's customer service is disgusting\!
> 
> **Cons**: Everything except the tax add-on. Bonsai canceled my account without warning because Stripe couldn't verify my identity, EVEN THOUGH in their FAQs, it says there are other ways to do so if we reach out via email.I resubscribed (since I canceled my Quickbooks and Honeybook subscriptions) and got verified, but they locked my account pending said verification. Contacted customer service via chat, and they read my message and then closed the conversation ticket.Followed up with an email and two months later, nothing has changed.
> 
> Horrible, Worst in class

### "Great way to centralize your business" — 4.0/5

> **Sarah** | *May 25, 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being able to have my contracts, invoicing and scheduling all in one place has really helped to streamline the backend parts of my business.
> 
> **Cons**: The initial payout for the invoicing was over two weeks. I understand that it is in place to ensure security, however that amount of time can feel like forever to a small business.
> 
> Overall good\! Happy to have my business admin simplified.

### "All in One App" — 5.0/5

> **Ashley** | *May 24, 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Bonsai's user experience is very intuitive, and well designed. My main uses are time-tracking and invoicing. For a pretty practical price, I can do all my business management needs in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: One feature I would love to see improved is the Desktop Time Tracker. Currently is doesn't allow you to save your time for specific tasks within a project. Sometimes, I need to invoice tasks separately and right now the desktop app lumps them into one project.
> 
> Having all timing and billing information in the dashboard has made me aware of my ongoing projects, unpaid invoices, and expenses at a glance.
