Bonsai Pricing in 2026: Proposals Start at $19, Not $9
MyProposer Team 5 min read
The short answer: Bonsai’s advertised entry price is $9 per user per month, and proposals are not in it. They start on Essentials at $19 per user per month annually, or $25 billed monthly. If you are comparing Bonsai with a proposal tool, $19 is the number to compare.
Pricing verified on 26 August 2026 by reading each vendor’s own pricing page: Bonsai’s pricing page. Prices change — check the source before relying on a number here.
The plans, and what each unlocks
- Basic — $9/user/month annually, $15 monthly. Time tracking, tasks, unlimited projects, CRM, mobile apps. No proposals.
- Essentials — $19/user/month annually, $25 monthly. Adds proposals, contracts, invoices and payments, forms, scheduling and a client portal.
- Premium — $29/user/month annually, $39 monthly. Adds pipeline, reporting, integrations, and removing Bonsai branding.
- Elite — $49/user/month annually, $59 monthly. Minimum three seats.
The trial is 7 days.
The branding line matters
Sending a proposal without Bonsai’s name on it requires Premium at $29 per user per month — not Essentials. For a freelancer whose whole pitch is that they are a credible independent studio, that moves the real entry price to $29.
Is it worth it?
Judged as a proposal tool, no — it is not one, and it would be unfair to score it as one. Judged as a business in a box it is good value: time tracking, projects, expenses, invoicing, a CRM and scheduling in a single $19 subscription would cost more as three or four separate tools.
Buy Bonsai if you want one place to run everything. Buy something else if proposals are the main event and the rest is weight.
Where MyProposer fits
MyProposer is $6.99 a month for Pro, flat rather than per seat, covering 100 documents every 30 days across proposals, quotes, contracts and invoices. The Free plan is $0 for two of each every 30 days, with AI drafting, interactive quotes, e-signatures and the client CRM included. Every new account starts on 30 days of Pro automatically, no card.
It is a smaller product than the tools above — no team seats, no approval workflows, no Zapier or Salesforce integrations. See the plans or start free.
