Bonsai vs KolayBi

Bonsai (often called Hello Bonsai after its domain) is an all-in-one business management app for freelancers, consultants and small client-service agencies. Instead of stitching together a proposal tool, an e-signature service, a time tracker and an invoicing app, Bonsai covers the whole client lifecycle in one place: win the work, sign the contract, deliver the project, bill and get paid.

The product starts with a lightweight CRM and proposal builder, then turns accepted proposals into contracts with legally reviewed templates and built-in e-signatures. Projects, tasks and a time tracker feed directly into invoices, which clients can pay online by card or bank transfer, with automatic reminders and recurring billing for retainers. A client portal collects files, invoices and messages in one branded space, and higher plans add scheduling, expense tracking, basic bookkeeping and team members. Pricing is per user per month across several tiers (Basic, Essentials, Premium and Elite), with discounts for annual billing; invoicing, contracts and the client portal start from Essentials.

Bonsai is best for solo professionals and agencies of a few people who want professional paperwork without administrative overhead. Its breadth means each module is simpler than a specialist: accounting is basic compared with QuickBooks or Xero, and project management is lighter than Asana. HoneyBook is the closest competitor, particularly for creative businesses in the US, while Moxie and Dubsado offer similar bundles with more workflow automation. Larger agencies that need resource planning and utilization reports should look at professional services tools such as Productive or Scoro.

KolayBi is a Turkish cloud-based pre-accounting (ön muhasebe) application for small and medium-sized businesses. It is designed for business owners rather than accountants, with a simple web interface and a mobile app that let them manage invoices, collections and cash on the go.

The core features cover sales and purchase invoicing, e-invoice (e-Fatura) and e-archive (e-Arşiv) invoicing in line with the Turkish Revenue Administration (GİB) requirements, current accounts for customers and suppliers, collections and payments, stock and product tracking, expenses, bank and cash accounts, and cash flow reports. Having invoices, receivables and payables in one place means the business owner can see who owes what at any moment, and the records can be shared with the company's accountant (mali müşavir) instead of being re-entered by hand. Pricing is in Turkish lira with subscription packages.

KolayBi fits micro businesses, freelancers, shops and service companies in Turkey that issue invoices regularly and want visibility of receivables and cash without complex accounting software. It is not a full ERP or general ledger system: manufacturing, multi-company consolidation and advanced cost accounting require products such as Logo, Mikro or Netsis. Within cloud pre-accounting it competes directly with Paraşüt, Bizim Hesap and Logo İşbaşı, and the choice usually comes down to interface preference, e-document costs, mobile experience and which tool the company's accountant is comfortable with.
