Common questions

What about Bonsai's banking and taxes?▾

Dispach intentionally doesn't do banking or tax filing — keep your bank and accountant. We give you clean one-click tax exports (Schedule C, income, expenses) so they have exactly what they need.

Will my clients notice the switch?▾

No. Your client portal carries your business name, logo, and brand color — Dispach is small in the footer.

Can I import my clients?▾

Yes — client and contact import is live today via CSV. Need more brought over? Email hello@dispach.co.

Is there a yearly discount?▾

Yes. $79.99/yr billed annually — two months free (≈$6.67/mo). No discount on monthly — we'd rather earn it each month.
