Comparison
Axzura vs Bonsai for agencies
Bonsai grew up as freelancer software and now serves small agencies: proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking and projects. Axzura covers the same client paperwork — agreements with e-signature, invoices including monthly recurring ones — and adds a board per client with a portal and daily reports, staff and payroll, and an AI assistant across all of it.
What it costs
The clearest difference, and the one that compounds: Bonsai charges for each person, Axzura charges for the workspace.
| Team size | Bonsai | Axzura |
|---|---|---|
| 3 people | $57 | $29Pro |
| 10 people | $190 | $29Pro |
| 25 people | $475 | $69Business |

Monthly, in US dollars. Bonsai on its Essentials, billed annually, multiplied by team size; Axzura is per workspace, so the number does not move. Published list prices, checked 2026-10-15 — verify before relying on them, since both move.

Where Axzura is different
Your clients see the work, every day
Each client gets a private board link and an automatic daily report — what was finished, what's waiting on them — in your brand. Clients stop asking for updates.
Client messages become tasks
WhatsApp, Slack and email requests are turned into tasks on the right board in one paste.
The team is in it too
Staff, attendance, leave and payroll live in the same workspace, so the people doing the client work and what they cost are one place away.
Per workspace, not per user
A ten-person agency pays $29 a month on Axzura; adding a freelancer costs nothing.
