Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Bonsai
Contracts, proposals and invoices in one place
Bonsai carries the paperwork around freelance and agency work: a proposal, the contract it turns into, the time tracked against it and the invoice at the end, all holding the same client record. It is aimed at service businesses rather than at audiences, which makes it the tool for the half of a creator's income that arrives as brand work. There is no free plan, only a week to decide.
Our note
Worth it the first time a brand disputes what was agreed. Below roughly a deal a month, a contract template and the invoicing in a tool you already pay for cover the same ground for nothing.

- Covers creator finance
GetTerms
Policies and a cookie banner for five dollars
GetTerms generates a privacy policy, a cookie policy and the consent banner that has to sit in front of them, priced per website rather than per company. The cheaper plan covers fifty thousand banner views a month and the dearer one removes the cap. Policy edits, regulation monitoring and multiple languages separate the two. This produces a document rather than legal advice, and a business with real exposure should still pay a lawyer to read it.
