7 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
Contracts, proposals and invoices in one place
Bonsai covers the same contracts, proposals and invoices bundle from $15 a month but has no free plan at all, so it suits somebody past Indy's three-a-month free cap from day one.
The e-signature everyone already accepts
Docusign does e-signature alone, from $11 a month, the name a client already trusts when Indy's own signing tool is not the sticking point but recognition is.
Proposals and contracts with e-signature built in
PandaDoc bundles proposals and contracts with e-signature from $19 a month, with a free tier, but leaves out the invoicing and time tracking Indy keeps in the same plan.
Legal documents and a lawyer on a membership
Rocket Lawyer at $149 puts a lawyer behind the documents, for a freelancer who wants advice rather than templates that fill themselves in.
Open-source invoicing, free for 5 clients
Invoice Ninja is open source and free for up to 5 clients, an invoicing-only swap for anybody who does not need Indy's proposals and contracts bundled in too.
Enquiry to contract to paid invoice
HoneyBook covers enquiry through contract to paid invoice for $29 a month after a trial, built for a business fielding many enquiries rather than a freelancer with a handful of projects a year.
Client workflows that run themselves
Dubsado automates the client workflow around a project rather than just producing documents, from $35 a month, heavier than Indy and built for somebody managing more clients than a handful a year.
