Why people look for a Bonsai alternative
In their own words, with the link to each one.
Since then they have sneakily charged a bonsai fee on top of the stripe fees for every invoice paid. It's not a small fee either.
they'll charge you a 3% fee on invoices. My client was confused into thinking he had to provide payment via Bonsai's platform and as a result, I was charged $140 for the privilege.
They held my first payment for two weeks, locked me into their weird “Bonsai bank,” and still charged fees and subscription costs.
