FAQ

Common Questions About Switching

Everything you need to know about Qotify vs Bonsai

Yes, if you only need fast, efficient quote creation. Bonsai is a comprehensive business management suite with contracts, time tracking, invoicing, and taxes - which is great if you need all that. But if you primarily need to create quotes quickly, Qotify's AI generates them in 1-2 minutes vs Bonsai's 45-60 minutes, at a lower cost ($49/month vs $24/month). You get laser-focused speed without paying for features you don't need.
Absolutely! Many freelancers use Bonsai for contracts and invoicing but switch to Qotify specifically for quotes because of the dramatic time savings. You can use both tools together - Bonsai for your business management and Qotify for lightning-fast quote creation. Or if you only need quotes and invoices, Qotify might be all you need at half the cost.
Qotify offers AI-powered quote generation that reduces creation time by 95% - a feature Bonsai completely lacks. We also include smart price research to help you quote competitively based on market rates, and our interface is specifically designed for speed. While Bonsai has many business tools, it doesn't have AI for quotes, making quote creation slow and manual.
Qotify costs $49/month compared to Bonsai's $24/month. That's a savings of $-25/month or $-300/year. More importantly, if you're sending 10 quotes per month, Qotify saves you 7+ hours monthly, which is worth far more than the subscription cost. You save money AND time.
Qotify is laser-focused on quote creation. We don't try to be an all-in-one business suite like Bonsai. If you need contracts, time tracking, and tax features, Bonsai is excellent for that. But if you want the fastest, most efficient way to create winning quotes, Qotify is purpose-built for that specific task with AI technology Bonsai doesn't offer.
Much easier for quotes specifically. Bonsai has many features and a complex interface because it does so much. Qotify has one job: create amazing quotes fast. Our AI does in 2 minutes what takes 45-60 minutes in Bonsai's proposal system. There's no learning curve - just describe your project and the AI generates a complete, professional quote.
Direct integration is not currently available, but many freelancers use both tools together successfully. Use Qotify to generate quotes quickly with AI, then handle contracts and invoicing in Bonsai. This gives you the best of both worlds: lightning-fast quote creation plus comprehensive business management.
