The short version
- Only Indy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Indy the free tier caps documents per month, and an active freelancer passes those caps quickly enough that the free plan is a trial in practice rather than a permanent option.; 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: Indy covers Contract library, Nusii covers Reusable content sections.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Indy
- The free tier caps documents per month, and an active freelancer passes those caps quickly enough that the free plan is a trial in practice rather than a permanent option.
- Project management and task tracking are shallow, so anyone running several concurrent projects will keep a separate tool and lose the single system benefit.
- Reporting on income, utilisation and profitability is thin next to a dedicated accounting or time tracking product.
- Payments are processed by a third party gateway, so the card fee applies on top of the subscription and materially changes the cost per invoice on small jobs.
- As with every bundle, leaving means separating proposals, contracts, time and invoices out of one export, which is harder than replacing a single purpose tool.
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
Indy: Is the free tier actually usable?
Yes, for real signed contracts and invoices, but it caps documents per month and active freelancers hit that fairly quickly.
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.
Indy: Does it take a percentage of invoices?
The payment gateway charges its standard card fee. That is separate from the subscription and should be modelled per invoice.
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.
Indy: Can it manage several concurrent projects?
Only lightly. The task and project features are the weakest part of the product.
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.
Indy: Are the contracts legally sound?
They are standard freelance templates with editable clauses. They are a starting point, not legal advice for your jurisdiction.
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.
Indy: Who is it wrong for?
Agencies, anyone with subcontractors, and freelancers who need real project management or detailed profitability reporting.
