We’re super excited to launch Bonsai Proposals on PH!
Lots of freelancers love their craft, but hate the admin work of running a solo business.
Bonsai started solving this with an automated, integrated workflow of contracts, time tracking, invoices, and payments.
Proposals are another time consuming and repetitive step in that process. We can minimize the effort needed to go from proposal to payment, so you can focus on doing what you love.
Here are some highlights of Proposals:
- See read receipts + timeline of activity on your proposal and project
- Create different packages that your client can choose from
- Customize the header, logo, and sections
- Start with templates for different work types (design, writing, etc)
New subscribers can get a 15% discount with the code PHPROPOSALS15.
Excited to introduce this product today and get more feedback from the Producthunt community!
Happy freelancing!

@matttbrown how would you say this compares to Proposify? Huge fan of everything you guys have done with Bonsai. Looking forward to trying this out.
Thanks for the support and great question @itsthisjustin !
Bonsai Proposals are different from Proposify in various aspects:
- Bonsai Proposals are smart proposals. We're also releasing a feature that will create a contract, a deposit invoice and a W9 as soon as your proposal is accepted. This is a huge time saver and has been one of the most loved features for our Bonsai beta users.
- Bonsai is a freelancer/small agency-first service. That means that the whole experience is designed to help you build your proposals in less time than it takes to think about it. Everything has been thought for intuitiveness and we've done 100+ interviews and have explored 200+ user stories to come up with the perfect flow. Time is important to our community so we're focusing on saving it.
- We integrate best practices from our community. We help you do more but also close more. One of the example is the feature that allows you to propose different packages and allows your client to chose directly their package within the interface. The idea is to help you close more deal and earn more by providing the right package to the right client.
Finally, I'd add that all Bonsai products are deeply integrated. We're strengthening those integrations to make our community feel like they've never had to worry about an admin headache in their freelance career.

wow the new builder look neat 😃 Love it 👏🏼 For those who want to try, I think the referral is still working so enjoy 1 month free to test fully https://app.hellobonsai.com/invi...
@bentossell, just found out that you're leaving Producthunt at the end of the month.
We're adding you as a maker to this product. Bonsai Proposals will be one of the many "side projects" you've worked on :). You've done so much for us at Bonsai and for the PH community that we can't thank you enough.
Personally being both sad to see you go but excited to see what's next.
Thanks and looking forward to knowing more about Day Dot.

Am confused? I don't understand what is about, I created an account and hit a jam. I can't find my profile to deactivate my account.
