A few useful distinctions.

Does Bonsai have MCP too?+

Yes. Bonsai documents an MCP server in beta. Compare the supported operations and permissions in both products; an MCP connection alone does not mean every workflow is identical.

How should we compare financial features?+

Separate client billing from accounting and internal profitability. Test the invoices, subscriptions, payment options, time, and budget tools your agency actually uses. 360Onboard’s client billing does not claim to replace every accounting tool.

Can we move our existing client work over?+

Start with a sample client and map your agreements, files, active tasks, and billing. Confirm the setup or import needed before moving live work, and keep your existing records.

Considering another platform?

Compare the same features across the other tools on your shortlist.
