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.

Privacy policies and a cookie banner, per site
iubenda generates the privacy policy, terms and cookie banner a site needs to be lawful in the places that ask, and keeps them updated as the rules move. It is priced per site per month, which suits somebody with one blog and stings somebody with six. The free plan produces a policy; the paid ones produce one that stays current and a consent banner that records what was agreed.
Our note
Per-site pricing is the thing to check against your own situation, because the headline $5 is for one domain. Against TermsFeed the split is maintenance: this keeps documents current for a recurring fee, that sells them once and leaves them where they are.
Ratings are the average of reviews readers left. The facts are stated by each tool’s own listing and are not verified by CloutStack. How we make money.
