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.
Only on this side
- Covers creator finance
Xodo Sign
Unlimited signatures on the cheapest plan
Xodo Sign, which was eversign until the rename, sends documents for signature with no monthly cap on how many, which is unusual at ten dollars a seat. Templates are limited to three on the entry plan and unlimited above it. The dearer tier folds in PDF editing, redaction and an AI summary of a contract. Anybody who needs an API or bulk sending is quoted rather than priced.
