When to choose bidraft over Bonsai

Bonsai is great for solo freelancers. bidraft is built for agencies that draft proposals at scale.

Choose bidraft if you:

  • Are an agency with 2–10 team members
  • Want AI to generate proposals from briefs, not just templates
  • Need 29+ agency-specific templates (web design, branding, marketing)
  • Want shared snippets and templates across your team
  • Need team invoicing with public links and reminders
  • Prefer flat pricing for teams ($99/mo for 5 seats)

Choose Bonsai if you:

  • Are a solo freelancer managing your entire business
  • Need time tracking, scheduling, and accounting built in
  • Want contract templates with e-signatures
  • Need tax estimation and expense tracking
  • Don't need AI-powered proposal generation
  • Prefer a wider toolkit over deeper proposal features

Why agencies are switching from Bonsai to bidraft

1

AI writes the first draft — you don't start from blank

Bonsai gives you proposal templates, but you still write every word yourself. bidraft generates a complete, structured proposal from your brief in seconds. Enter client name, project type, scope, and budget — AI drafts the executive summary, approach, deliverables, timeline, and pricing. You refine strategy, not boilerplate.

2

29+ agency-specific templates vs generic forms

Bonsai's templates cover general freelance work. bidraft's 29 templates are built for agency engagements: website redesigns, brand sprints, content strategies, performance audits, SEO campaigns, and more. The AI knows how agencies structure discovery phases, present design approaches, and explain deliverables.

3

Team collaboration with shared assets built in

Bonsai charges extra for team members. bidraft's Agency Team plan ($99/mo) includes 5 seats with shared snippet library, shared custom templates, and role-based access. Your whole team drafts from the same playbook — consistent quality, consistent messaging.

4
