AND.CO attracted a loyal user base with a simple premise: one clean tool for freelance contracts, proposals, invoices, and time tracking, without the complexity of enterprise CRM software. When Fiverr acquired it and rebranded it as Fiverr Workspace, pricing changed, the product direction shifted, and users who loved the original started looking elsewhere.
The good news: the alternatives have caught up, and in some cases exceeded what AND.CO offered at its peak. The bad news: none of them is an exact replacement, you’re choosing which feature you prioritize most.
Quick verdict: Bonsai is the closest all-in-one replacement for the original AND.CO experience. HoneyBook if you’re a visual creative who wants polished client-facing documents. Wave if free is non-negotiable and you can live without proposals. Waco3 if proposals are your primary tool for winning business. Invoice Ninja if you need a powerful open-source option with a free self-hosted tier.
What AND.CO did well (and what changed)
At its peak, AND.CO offered:
- Freelance contracts with e-signatures (pre-written templates)
- Proposals that could include pricing and scope
- Invoicing with automated payment reminders
- Time tracking with direct invoice export
- An approachable, minimalist UI that didn’t intimidate new freelancers
After the Fiverr acquisition, several things shifted: the brand became “Fiverr Workspace,” the free tier became more restricted, and the product began integrating more closely with Fiverr’s gig economy model, not the independent professional market AND.CO originally served.
The 5 best alternatives
1. Bonsai, closest to original AND.CO
Price: $17–32/month
Bonsai is the most direct feature match for former AND.CO users. It offers pre-written contract templates (AND.CO’s biggest strength), clean proposals, invoicing with automated reminders, and built-in time tracking. The UI is similarly minimalist, not overwhelming, not enterprise-y.
What Bonsai does better than AND.CO: stronger contract template library, cleaner mobile experience, more responsive support.
What AND.CO did better: the original AND.CO pricing was more accessible for freelancers just starting out. Bonsai’s $17/month Starter plan limits client numbers; the full feature set runs $32/month.
Best for: freelancers who want the all-in-one AND.CO experience without the Fiverr ecosystem.
2. HoneyBook, better for visual creatives
Price: $16–66/month
HoneyBook targets photographers, designers, and event planners specifically, a demographic AND.CO served well. Its client-facing documents (proposals, contracts, invoices) are more visually polished than Bonsai’s. The Essentials plan at $32/month includes automation that AND.CO lacked.
What HoneyBook does better than AND.CO: better design quality on client documents, automation that can run without you, built-in scheduler.
What AND.CO did better: simpler pricing model, less setup required to start using it.
Best for: photographers, event planners, and designers who want their proposals and contracts to look great without extra design work.
3. Wave, free, covers the basics
Price: Free (payment processing at 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction)
Wave handles invoicing and accounting for free. That’s genuinely useful. What Wave doesn’t have: proposals, contracts, or time tracking. If you used AND.CO primarily to send invoices and track income, Wave replaces that piece of the workflow at no cost.
What Wave does better than AND.CO: accounting depth, free price point.
What AND.CO did better: proposals, contracts, all-in-one workflow.
Best for: former AND.CO users who mainly used it for invoicing and are willing to handle proposals separately.
4. Waco3, if proposals are how you win clients
Price: See pricing page
Waco3’s strength is the proposal experience, interactive templates, open-tracking analytics, AI-assisted editing, and e-signature built directly into the proposal flow. AND.CO’s proposals were functional but basic. Waco3’s are designed to close deals.
What Waco3 does better than AND.CO: proposal quality, proposal analytics, knowing when and how clients engage with your proposals before they sign.
What AND.CO did better: all-in-one invoicing, accounting, and time tracking in one tool. Waco3 focuses on the front end of the client relationship.
Best for: consultants, developers, designers, and writers where a strong proposal is the primary sales tool. Pair with Wave or FreshBooks for invoicing.
5. Invoice Ninja, the power user free option
Price: Free (self-hosted) or $10/month (hosted)
Invoice Ninja is open-source, which means it can be self-hosted for free with full features, including proposals, contracts, invoicing, time tracking, and client portal. The hosted version at $10/month is one of the most affordable full-feature options available.
What Invoice Ninja does better than AND.CO: feature depth, pricing, open-source flexibility.
What AND.CO did better: user experience. Invoice Ninja has a steeper learning curve than AND.CO’s clean minimalism.
Best for: technically comfortable freelancers who want maximum features at minimum cost and don’t mind a setup investment.

The AND.CO pivot to Fiverr Workspace is a product going in a different direction from its original audience. The alternatives listed here were built for independent freelancers specifically, and most of them do their core job better than AND.CO did.
