Free Bonsai
Service Agreement
Bonsai is shamelessly double-dipping into your revenue, charging you a monthly subscription fee just for the 'privilege' of losing another 3% of every invoice to processing fees. You're working for your CRM's bottom line instead of your own when you're forced to eat thousands of dollars in overhead that belongs in your pocket.
Pro Contractor Tip
Check your existing Bonsai contracts for 'convenience fee' clauses; most jurisdictions allow you to pass processing costs to the client as long as your terms of service explicitly state that the 3.9% is a technology surcharge for credit card payments.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Bonsai, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is MicroFreelanceHub cheaper than Bonsai for high-earning freelancers?
Bonsai charges a monthly fee and makes you pay the 3% processing fee. MicroFreelanceHub allows you to pass the 3.9% fee to your client, meaning if you invoice $10,000, you keep $10,000, while a Bonsai user loses $300 plus their subscription cost.
Does the 'Pass-Through Fee' feature actually save me thousands per year?
Absolutely. On a $100,000 annual revenue, Bonsai users lose roughly $3,000 to processing fees alone; MicroFreelanceHub puts that $3,000 back in your bank account by charging the client the transaction cost instead.
What happens after my first 3 free projects on MicroFreelanceHub?
Unlike Bonsai's restrictive paid tiers, you can manage your first 3 projects for free indefinitely. Once you're ready to scale, our $29 Pro tier covers everything with no hidden 'success fees' or forced processing deductions.
