What is Bonsai
Overview
Bonsai is a subscription-based SaaS platform built for freelancers and small businesses to manage contracts, invoices, proposals, and projects. It combines time tracking, billing, client portals and templates into a single product aimed at simplifying admin work.
Who it's for
Bonsai is commonly used by independent contractors, consultants, and small teams who need integrated invoicing, contracts, and basic project management. It is positioned for users who want an all-in-one workflow rather than separate apps.
How to cancel Bonsai
Web (via account settings)
- Log into your Bonsai account.
- Click the Profile icon (bottom left) → Subscription → click "Cancel your subscription" → confirm.
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term.
Web (pause option) and mobile stores
- On the Subscription page you may choose to "Pause" the subscription for 1, 2, or 3 months; it will auto‑renew on the selected date.
- If you subscribed via Apple App Store, cancel using your iOS device's subscription settings; Bonsai cannot cancel on your behalf.
- If you subscribed via Google Play, cancel through the Play Store subscription settings on your Android device; Bonsai cannot cancel on your behalf.
What happens when you cancel
Access
Your paid access remains active until the end of the current billing term. After that date your subscription features will stop according to your plan level.
Data and account
You should export important invoices, contracts, and client data before access ends. Bonsai typically retains account records, but export copies are the safest way to keep your documents.
Will I get a refund?
Web refunds (Bonsai policy)
- You can request a refund within 14 days of being charged; Bonsai states it will issue a refund "no questions asked".
- If more than 14 days have passed since the charge, refunds are not issued; you may still cancel to prevent future charges.
App Store / Google Play refunds
- Refund requests for subscriptions bought via Apple or Google are handled by those platforms and follow their refund policies.
- Bonsai directs users to request refunds through Apple or Google; the company cannot process those refunds directly.

- Check your card or platform statement for the precise charge in your local currency.
Your consumer rights in Singapore
Statutory rights
Under Singapore's consumer protection laws, digital subscriptions do not carry an automatic 14‑day cooling‑off right unless the seller explicitly offers it. There is no statutory 14‑day refund for digital services in most cases.
What Bonsai offers
Bonsai provides a voluntary 14‑day refund policy for Web purchases, which is separate from Singapore statutory rights. This is a goodwill policy, not a legal entitlement under Singapore law.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Users praise Bonsai's user‑friendly, intuitive interface for managing contracts, invoices, proposals and time tracking.
- Customer support is frequently described as responsive, helpful and knowledgeable in many reviews.
Negative feedback
- Some users report payment delays, funds held without clear explanation, or unexpected payment cancellations.
- There are reports of Stripe integration issues, missing features (e.g., bulk invoice downloads), rising fees, and mixed customer service experiences in specific cases.
Documentation checklist
Before cancelling
- Locate your Bonsai account email and subscription receipt(s).
- Export key documents: invoices, contracts, proposals, and timesheet data.
- Note the date you were last charged (for refund eligibility).
When contacting support
- Prepare order/transaction IDs, screenshots of billing, and clear explanation of the issue.
- State whether the purchase was via Web, Apple App Store, or Google Play to speed handling.
Common mistakes
Using the wrong cancellation method
A common error is trying to cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription from the Bonsai website. If you subscribed via iOS or Android, you must cancel through those respective stores.
Missing the refund window
Waiting more than 14 days to request a web refund is another frequent mistake. Bonsai's voluntary refund window is 14 days from the charge; after that, refunds are generally not provided.
