Everything Bonsai bundles, with your books free.
Bonsai packs proposals, contracts, CRM and invoicing into one subscription — but real bookkeeping sits in a paid tier, and payments carry a markup. BuddyWorkflow gives you the same client workflow, keeps the books free forever, and passes payments through at cost.
Same client workflow, no gated books
Bonsai is built around client work — proposals, contracts, invoicing — and BuddyWorkflow covers all of it. The difference is where the money lives: Bonsai puts real accounting behind a higher tier, while BuddyWorkflow keeps full bookkeeping, cash and taxes free forever.
Payments passed through at cost
BuddyWorkflow passes Stripe's real processing cost straight through with zero markup, and bank transfers are free — where all-in-one tools like Bonsai typically add a percentage on top (2026 published rates). Pro removes our fee entirely.
See what your marketing returns
Beyond the client workflow, BuddyWorkflow ties your ad spend and channels back to paid invoices, so you can see which marketing actually pays — something Bonsai doesn't track.
