Does ClosedOn replace Bonsai entirely?
ClosedOn focuses on proposals, signatures, and payments. If you need built-in accounting or time tracking, Bonsai covers more ground. If you want the fastest proposal-to-payment flow, ClosedOn is the better tool.
How does pricing compare?
ClosedOn is £39/month flat with no per-user or per-proposal fees. Bonsai starts at $24/month but charges more for teams and premium features.
Are ClosedOn signatures as legally binding as Bonsai's?
Yes. Both use electronic signatures that comply with the ESIGN Act and eIDAS. ClosedOn additionally records a SHA-256 hash of the proposal content for tamper evidence.
What about contracts?
ClosedOn's terms block serves as a lightweight contract. For complex multi-party contracts, you may still want a dedicated tool. Most freelancers find the terms block sufficient.
