The short version
How it’s priced
Bonsai: Bonsai is priced per user, per month, across four tiers in US dollars, with the higher tiers adding the pipeline, reports and integrations.
Doodali: £19.99 a month plus VAT. Unlimited users, every feature. Texts, calls and AI use credits, with 500 free each month for AI.
A team of eight
On per-user pricing, a team of eight pays for eight seats, more as you grow, and more again for higher tiers.
On Doodali, the team of eight, or eighty, costs £19.99 a month for the business.
Bonsai is a great choice if…
- Proposals, contracts and invoices that flow neatly into each other
- Good time tracking and project tools for client work
- Profit and productivity reports on the higher tiers
Doodali suits you better if…
- You’d rather not pay for each person on the team
- You want a shared inbox with email, WhatsApp, texts and website chat
- You want AI built in, from replies to a receptionist that answers calls
- You run more than one business
Everything, for £19.99 a month.
No tiers, no add-ons for the essentials, and nothing to upgrade to.
