Bonsai vs Oneflow

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.

Oneflow is a contract management and e-signature platform from Oneflow AB, a Stockholm company founded in 2012 by CEO Anders Hamnes and listed on Nasdaq First North. Its core idea is that a contract should be a live HTML document rather than a static PDF: both parties edit, comment and agree on terms inside the same document and sign it there, so late changes need no new versions or restarted signing flows.

The platform covers the full lifecycle: templates, approvals, signing order, inline comments, e-signatures including BankID and other eIDAS-recognized eID methods, a searchable repository with renewal tracking, data retention rules, webhooks and an API. Business includes Write with AI, AI Extract and AI Summary; eID signing and AI Review & Insights are paid add-ons. Billing is annual only: Business starts at $292 per month for five users, and Enterprise is quoted from ten users with SSO, SCIM and audit logs.

Oneflow fits Nordic and wider European companies whose sales, HR or procurement teams send many agreements from Salesforce, HubSpot, Teamtailor or Workday. PandaDoc is stronger on proposals and quotes, Juro offers a similar browser-native editor aimed at legal teams, and DocuSign is the safer pick for pure signature volume and global recognition.

Oneflow reported ARR of SEK 183.1 million at the end of 2025, up 15% year over year, with management prioritizing profitability over growth. When you request a quote, ask for add-on prices such as eID signing in writing, because they are billed on top of Business.
