Moxie alternatives in 2026
Moxie is hard to beat on price for a solo freelancer: $12 a month on Starter, $25 on Pro and $40 on Teams ($10, $20 and $32 billed annually). The ceiling is Teams, which holds up to five team members, and the client portal starts at Pro. If you've outgrown it, want a free plan, or need something it doesn't do, here are six alternatives with what they actually cost.
| Tool | Starting price | Billing | Free plan | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ApeiroCraft | Free; Solo $19/mo, Team $79/mo, Agency $149/mo | Flat per account (3, 5 or 20 people) | Yes, no time limit | Teams that will pass five people, or anyone who wants a free plan |
| Plutio | $19/mo Core, $49 Pro, $199 Max | Per account by tier; Core capped at 9 active clients | No, 7-day trial | Solo freelancers who want a different all-in-one with proposal view tracking |
| Hello Bonsai | Essentials $25/user/mo ($19 annual); Basic $15 has no proposals | Per user; Elite needs 3 users | No, 7-day trial | Freelancers who want proposals, contracts and invoicing in a per-user tool with no team ceiling |
| Dubsado | $335/yr Starter, $525/yr Premier | Per account, billed annually; 3 users included | No, 21-day trial | Service businesses that want deep automated workflows and pay yearly |
| HoneyBook | $36–$129/mo monthly ($29–$109 billed yearly) | Per account by tier, plus payment processing | No, 30-day trial | Creatives in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia who need scheduling and payments |
| Prospero | $19/user/mo, or $12 billed annually | Per user; custom pricing at 25+ members | No, 14-day trial, no card | You want better-looking proposals than Moxie's, and nothing else |

1. ApeiroCraft
Free; Solo $19/mo, Team $79/mo, Agency $149/mo
Our own product, so read this entry as interested. Proposals go out as links with read tracking (opens and re-opens) and an e-signature that records name, email, IP and a UTC timestamp. An accepted proposal becomes an invoice in one click, and contacts, tasks and a team notes wiki sit on the same records. Pricing is per account, not per user: Solo covers three people for $19 a month, Team five for $79, Agency twenty for $149. For one paying person Moxie Starter ($12) is cheaper than Solo ($19), though the free plan costs nothing if three proposals and three invoices a month is enough. No time tracking, scheduler, client portal or API.
- Pick it if
- Teams that will pass five people, or anyone who wants a free plan
- Skip it if
- You bill hourly: Moxie has time tracking and ApeiroCraft doesn't. Skip it too if you need a client portal
2. Plutio
$19/mo Core, $49 Pro, $199 Max
Similar territory to Moxie: a broad freelance toolkit, with proposal view tracking. Core ($19) is built for solo work and capped at nine active clients; Pro ($49) removes the cap and includes 30 contributors, which is room Moxie Teams doesn't have; Max is $199.
- Pick it if
- Solo freelancers who want a different all-in-one with proposal view tracking
- Skip it if
- You have more than nine active clients on the $19 plan
3. Hello Bonsai
Essentials $25/user/mo ($19 annual); Basic $15 has no proposals
Proposals with view notifications, contracts and invoicing from Essentials ($25 per user monthly, $19 annually); the $15 Basic plan has none of them. Elite ($59 per user) needs three users. 7-day trial.
- Pick it if
- Freelancers who want proposals, contracts and invoicing in a per-user tool with no team ceiling
- Skip it if
- You're price-sensitive: three people on Essentials cost $75 a month against Moxie Teams at $40
4. Dubsado
$335/yr Starter, $525/yr Premier
Proposals, contracts, invoices and a client portal on both plans; scheduling and workflows on Premier. Starter is $335 a year with three users included and extra users from $25 a month, so it can grow past Moxie's five. Setup takes real time.
- Pick it if
- Service businesses that want deep automated workflows and pay yearly
- Skip it if
- You want to be up and running in an afternoon
5. HoneyBook
$36–$129/mo monthly ($29–$109 billed yearly)
A scheduler, questionnaires, proposals and payments in one place. Monthly plans are $36, $59 and $129 ($29 to $109 billed yearly). HoneyBook processes client payments itself, with US card fees from 2.9% + 25¢, and serves only the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
- Pick it if
- Creatives in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia who need scheduling and payments
- Skip it if
- You're based elsewhere, or want to keep client payments on your own processor
6. Prospero
$19/user/mo, or $12 billed annually
A proposal specialist: guided, questionnaire-driven building with e-signatures, at $19 per member a month or $12 billed annually. No invoicing and no client pipeline, so most Moxie users would keep a second tool.
- Pick it if
- You want better-looking proposals than Moxie's, and nothing else
- Skip it if
- You use Moxie's invoicing or time tracking: Prospero has neither
How to choose
Work out what you're leaving for. If it's team size, check each tool's ceiling: ApeiroCraft goes to 20 people on one plan, Dubsado adds users from $25 a month, and per-user tools like Bonsai have no ceiling but grow in cost with every seat. If it's price, little here beats Moxie for one person, apart from a free plan.
Then check the features you'd lose. Moxie includes time tracking on every plan; ApeiroCraft and Prospero don't have it. If you need scheduling, look at HoneyBook or Dubsado Premier.
