Boundrify vs. Bonsai
Bonsai documents your scope. Boundrify enforces it.
Both are all-in-one platforms for freelancers and agencies. Both handle CRM, projects, time, and invoicing. Only Boundrify protects your margins from scope creep — automatically.
Bonsai is the dominant freelance suite in the US, strong on contract templates and tax integration (1099). Boundrify is built around a different premise: scope is not a document you sign once, it is a runtime contract software should enforce continuously.
