| Pay bills and freelancers | Yes | Basic |

Choose Punctual when…
- You have a team and clients who want to see progress, not just invoices.

The pain of getting this wrong
Bonsai users openly ask for a portal that shows project progress. If your clients want to see where things stand, a tool that can't show them will cost you time every week.
