Best fit
Best for: Boutique firms needing structured document workflows with e-signature.
Why pick it: Covers the full document lifecycle from proposal through contract to e-signature. Free e-sign plan means you can start with zero cost.
Watch for: If you only need pretty proposals (not contracts or compliance), Qwilr or Better Proposals are faster to set up.
Best for: Consultants billing by the hour who need accurate time records for invoicing and profitability analysis.
Why pick it: One-click timer and automatic tracking mean you actually use it. Most time tracking tools fail because they are too tedious — Toggl is the exception.
Watch for: If you bill fixed-fee only and never need to analyze where your hours go, skip it. Bonsai includes basic time tracking if you already use it.
