Moving from Bonsai to Eonebill
Eonebill does not provide a one-click Bonsai migration. Export and verify your records before changing a subscription.
1
Export Each Bonsai Dataset
In Bonsai, open Company Settings → Data → Download Data CSV. Export invoices, projects, tasks, expenses, companies, company addresses, and tracked time separately, then retain invoice PDFs you need for accounting records.
Read Bonsai's official export instructions2
Move Compatible Client Data First
Prepare compatible company or client records for Eonebill's client CSV import. Keep project, task, and time-tracking exports as an archive because Eonebill is not a replacement project-management database.
3
Recreate and Verify Active Documents
Recreate only active invoices, proposals, and contracts. Send a test document to yourself and verify recipients, totals, terms, payment settings, signatures, email delivery, and PDF appearance before changing Bonsai.
Bonsai vs Eonebill FAQ
Is Bonsai free in 2026?
Bonsai offers a 7-day free trial. Its free Limited plan is mainly for retained access: users can view existing documents and manage projects, tasks, time, and records, but cannot create or send new invoices, proposals, or contracts.
How much does Bonsai cost in 2026?
Bonsai lists Basic at $15 per user monthly, Essentials at $25, and Premium at $39. With annual billing, the advertised monthly equivalents are $9, $19, and $29 per user. Invoices, proposals, contracts, forms, scheduling, and the client portal start with Essentials.
Is Eonebill or Bonsai better for freelancers?
Eonebill is the better fit for AI-assisted document creation, 30 documents/month free for the first 3 clients, and free W-9/1099 tools. Bonsai is the stronger fit when CRM, project and task management, time tracking, scheduling, reporting, and a native mobile app belong in one system.
Can I automatically migrate from Bonsai to Eonebill?
No. Eonebill does not provide a one-click Bonsai migration. Bonsai lets you export invoices, projects, tasks, expenses, companies, company addresses, and tracked time as separate CSV files. Preserve those exports and invoice PDFs, then move compatible client data and recreate only active documents in Eonebill.
Does Bonsai include time tracking and project management?
Yes. Bonsai Basic includes unlimited projects, task management, CRM, and time tracking. Higher tiers add project insights, workload management, Gantt views, reporting, integrations, and other team features. Those capabilities make Bonsai broader than a document-focused platform.
Try the Document-First Option
Keep Bonsai when its connected CRM and project operations fit best. Try Eonebill when fast AI-assisted documents and a permanent free allowance matter more.
