So far the experience is very good \! > > **Cons**: To be honest i am satisfied so far with all INDY features. Keep going well \! > > Overall i am very satisfied with Indy services \! ----- ### "VERY responsive customer service" — 5.0/5 > **Nathan** | *2 March 2022* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very friendly to use, very easy to integrate forms with my Squarespace website with a block of code > > **Cons**: Integrations. Very few integrations (as yet). You would use a lot of this INSTEAD OF Google Workspace. > > I loved their forms and their project proposals. I hit a wall with their integrations and the chat platform. They're US-centric at the moment but they told me they're rolling out international currency support in a few weeks. ----- ### "Affordable for freelancers" — 3.0/5 > **Felicia** | *7 October 2021* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Affordability and ease of use. I really appreciated the templates. I used mostly for proposals. > > **Cons**: Clients didn't seem to want to communicate via the software and even though I sent them billing options via software, I ended up having to send an invoice via bank software for direct deposit of funds. > > Ease of use for most part, but wasn't seamless with clients. ----- ### "Great for my business needs" — 5.0/5 > **Jenn** | *4 October 2021* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use the file hosting feature mostly. I joined back when it was called Tispr and find it easy to use, especially for the cost. > > **Cons**: There's really not anything I dislike. However, the two things I would add to the functions are 1. link tracking (how many times was a public link opened/accessed? 2. ability to create links from multiple uploaded files at once. > > Customer service has been great the few times I reached out to them. They've continued to add new features (that I don't really use). It's been easy to use generally. ----- ### "Indy takes care of business" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *3 March 2022* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Many logistical aspects of preparing proposals and contracts are difficult for freelance workers to learn on the go. Indy makes it easy for people like me to take care of these necessary professional aspects without the steep learning curve of learning to draft contracts. > > **Cons**: There are a number of aspects in the proposal drafting that lack flexibility. When including an estimate, sometimes it is helpful to have a line item with quantity zero (0) to present the client with optional add-ons. Additionally, a "discount" line item appear and cannot be removed; it's a bad optic to show a client "hey, some people get a discount but not YOU. Discount is ZERO DOLLARS." > > I'll use Indy over Bonsai and the other competitors because there is a free model that suits my needs for now, along with room to grow into paid models when I pick up more work. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/323885/indy?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/323885/indy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
