Why Choose Duxa
Built for Coaches
Duxa is designed specifically for coaching practices. Bonsai is a general freelancer tool adapted for many industries.
Client Portal Included
Give clients their own portal to book sessions, view history, and access resources. Bonsai doesn't offer this.
Automated Reminders
Reduce no-shows with automated email reminders that keep clients engaged and on track.
Lifetime Deal Available
Pay $299 once and own Duxa forever with all future updates. No recurring fees, ever.
When Bonsai Might Be Better
We believe in being honest. Bonsai might be a better fit if:
- You need built-in accounting and expense tracking
- You want tax preparation and estimated tax calculations
- You send formal proposals and need proposal templates
- You do other freelance work beyond coaching
The Key Difference
Bonsai is a general freelancer tool that coaches can use. Duxa is built from the ground up for coaching practices. We focus on the features coaches actually need— client portals, session packages, automated reminders—without the complexity of accounting software you might not use.
