Why Pay for Bonsai?
Bonsai isn't a vague "utility" with intangible benefits. It directly saves you money on iCloud storage and helps you extend your device's lifespan before your next upgrade.
Depending on how large your Photos library is, Bonsai can help you drop to a lower iCloud tier or delay buying more storage — saving you hundreds of dollars over time.
Pricing is flexible. You can choose a one-time reduction, a weekly plan, or a lifetime option if you hate subscriptions. Whatever you pick, you'll only pay when Bonsai genuinely delivers value.
And because Bonsai is built and run by a solo indie developer, your support goes directly to the person building it — not a big company. When you reach out, you'll be talking to me, not a bot or a faceless support team.
