Yes. The free version builds a complete proposal or contract in your browser with no account. A one-time $15 Pro version removes the single-document cap and the print watermark.

Is this a full Bonsai replacement?

Together, the five tools cover the same jobs (contracts, invoicing, time, CRM, cash) as separate offline apps. They are not a single synced platform — that is the trade-off for owning them and keeping data local.

How much is the whole suite?

All five tools are $39 as a one-time bundle, versus a recurring monthly subscription for an all-in-one platform.

Are the contracts enforceable?

The clauses are a strong, plain-English starting point, but this is not legal advice — for high-value work, have a lawyer confirm what is enforceable where you are.

Where is my data stored?

Only in your browser. Nothing about your clients, pricing or contract terms is uploaded.

Free Bonsai Alternative for Freelancers — Offline Contracts, No Sign-Up

All-in-one, without the all-in-one bill

Bonsai is a genuinely useful all-in-one for freelancers — contracts, proposals, invoicing, time tracking and a light CRM, all in one place, for a monthly fee and an account that holds your client data on their servers.

This suite unbundles that into five focused tools you buy once and run offline. ProposalPro covers the contract side: choose from a plain-English clause library (scope, payment, late fees, revisions, IP ownership, kill fee and more), set deposit and milestone pricing, and capture a typed-signature acceptance. Need the rest? LeadTrack, InvoicePro, TimeTrack and CashFlow cover clients, invoicing, hours and cash — together $39 instead of a forever subscription.

Where ProposalPro wins

Plain-English clauses

13 freelancer clauses you can toggle and edit — scope, payment, IP, kill fee and more.

Out-of-scope list

Spell out what is not included so extra requests become paid change requests.

Deposit & milestones

Fixed, hourly or milestone pricing with deposit and balance-due math.

Typed signatures

Both parties sign with dates, right inside the document.

Save as PDF

Print to a clean PDF and send it however you like.

Own the whole suite

Add invoicing, time, CRM and cash for a one-time $39 — no monthly fee.

When Bonsai is still the better pick

If you want everything synced in one cloud account — contract flows straight into invoice into payment, with reminders and a client portal handled for you — an integrated platform like Bonsai is worth the subscription. This suite trades that automatic syncing for ownership, privacy and a one-time price. Choose based on whether you value hands-off automation or owning your tools outright.

Switching is one click

Start with the contract maker free, then add the other tools whenever you need them. Get the single tool for $15, or all five in the $39 Freelance Tools Suite.
