Each has a real cost: 17hats the interface is visibly older than newer competitors, which matters because the client facing documents are part of how a small business presents itself.; Nusii the plan limit counts active proposals rather than proposals sent, so an untidy pipeline of stale open proposals will push you into a higher tier even though the actual workload has not changed.
They diverge on capability: 17hats covers Workflow automation, Nusii covers Reusable content sections.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

17hats

The interface is visibly older than newer competitors, which matters because the client facing documents are part of how a small business presents itself.
The workflow builder takes real time to learn and configure, so the automation benefit arrives weeks after purchase rather than on the first day.
A consultancy where no two engagements are alike gets little from the workflow engine, which is most of what the price pays for.
It is built around a single operator, so a business adding staff or subcontractors runs into structural limits rather than a higher tier.
Payments run through third party gateways, so card processing fees apply in addition to the subscription and should be included when comparing cost per booking.

Nusii

The plan limit counts active proposals rather than proposals sent, so an untidy pipeline of stale open proposals will push you into a higher tier even though the actual workload has not changed.
There is no product catalogue, pricing logic or CPQ capability, so anything involving configurable products, volume tiers or approval rules has to be worked out elsewhere and typed in as text.
Direct integrations are almost non-existent and most connections go through Zapier, which means a second subscription and a fragile chain between the proposal and your CRM or accounting system.
Acceptance is an online agreement rather than a full electronic signature service with the identity verification and audit trail that regulated buyers and some public sector clients demand.
The vendor is a very small independent company, which keeps the product focused and the support personal but concentrates business continuity risk in a way procurement at a larger client may question.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

17hats: What is the main reason to choose it?

The workflow engine. If your bookings follow the same sequence every time, that sequence can be automated once and reused.

Nusii: What counts as an active proposal?

A proposal that has not been archived. Archiving completed and lost proposals frees the slot, so the limit is about pipeline hygiene rather than volume.

17hats: Is it worth it for bespoke consulting work?

Rarely. Without repeatable engagements the automation, which is the main value, has nothing to automate.

Nusii: Is there a free plan?

No. There is a 14 day trial, then plans start at 29 USD per month, with two months free if you pay annually.

17hats: Does it handle bookkeeping?

At sole trader level. It is not a replacement for accounting software once complexity grows.

Nusii: Does it handle legally binding signatures?

It records online acceptance with a timestamp. For qualified electronic signatures with identity checks you need a dedicated e-signature service.

17hats: Can I add team members?

It is designed for a single operator, and multi person use is awkward rather than supported properly.

Nusii: Can several people work on the same proposal?

Yes on the Agency and Business plans, which include 3 and 5 users respectively with additional seats charged separately.

17hats: How long before it saves time?

Not immediately. Budget for a configuration period before the workflow automation starts paying back.
