Why choose Hectic over Bonsai?
There are lots of apps that want to be your “all-in-one.” Hectic was created by freelancers and for freelancers. We’ll always care for and listen to our clients (aka freelancers) first.
Choose Hectic over Bonsai for workflows that work for you.
Customizable automated workflows
Freelancing looks different for everyone. While Bonsai is limited by structure, Hectic is flexible by design––allowing you to manage multiple clients, projects, deadlines, and workflows, however you see fit.
Built for client collaboration
In Bonsai, collaboration can be hard to coordinate. In Hectic’s all-inclusive global platform, you can invite clients directly into your workflow to talk, exchange files, sign documents, make payments, and more––all in one shared space.
Full-feature mobile experience
Freelancing is all about freedom. Unlike Bonsai, which is best experienced on desktop, Hectic is the same whether you’re on the computer or on your phone––allowing you to embrace life outside the office.
Built for freelancers, contractors, and solopreneurs
Small business-ing is different from freelancing. While Hectic can serve small businesses, our platform was specifically designed to streamline and improve the way freelancers work. It’s not overly complicated––it’s wonderfully simple.
Live your best #bosslesslife
