HoneyBook
Chose HoneyBook
Honeybook and Dubsado have a lot of similarities. I'd say the only big difference is that Dubsado still has more advanced workflow capabilities. Dubsado also is much harder to set up. Honeybook is simpler and easier to use right from the start.
Chose HoneyBook
Was way easier to use Dubsado than it was setting up the new Honeybook system.
Chose HoneyBook
17hats is way better in every way compared to Honeybook. It still has some places where it can improve, but I had such a negative experience with Honeybook that a piece of paper and a pencil would be more reliable for helping my business. I do not want anything to do with …
Chose HoneyBook
Dubsado isn't as user-friendly, but it is more powerful in the workflow aspect. I don't think it's as easy to customize proposals and invoices.

17-Hats is incredibly "clunky" it's not easy to navigate but does a lot for clients.
Chose HoneyBook
QuickBooks was only good for billing and analytics, but it was the entire HoneyBook package that sold me. In the end, I decided to keep QuickBooks to help with my accounting system. QuickBooks integrates seamlessly with HoneyBook, which will help me at tax time. HoneyBook …
Chose HoneyBook
I selected HoneyBook because they had a sale for my first 6 months, it was $1 per month (as opposed to $40). It let me try out the software risk-free to see if I liked it. I'm glad I made the decision. I also like how HoneyBook has educational resources and facebook discussion …
Chose HoneyBook
We switched to HubSpot after a few years of the company using HoneyBook. We switched to HubSpot because we needed more features that would allow us to automate our processes and pull better data on our clients, their vendors, and our overall client process. I appreciated that …
Chose HoneyBook
We researched many other CRM programs before choosing HoneyBook (including Dubsado, DJ Event Planner, Zoho, Salesforce, and Intellivent). HoneyBook had the best offerings for the best price and has been a successful solution to our needs. The task management, pipeline, and task …

I find it is best when you need to connect to a computer after hours and the end user has left for the day. I can remote in to the computer without interaction and troubleshoot the issues as required. The connection is speed and works well unlike some other remote access software

I would recommend Honeybook to other coaches, consultants, and small business owners. It may not be appropriate for a large team's use, but works for the size of organization I currently own and manage. It also integrates with QuickBooks and makes financial data management fairly seamless.

Read full review
  • Sending sales proposals + contracts with custom payment schedules.
  • Automatic email reminders when clients have opened proposals, signed, and payed. HoneyBook even sends automated email reminders when clients haven't opened the email, reminding me to follow up.
  • A very easy-to-use dashboard with templates for invoices, contracts, questionnaires, emails, and more.
  • A place to see my sales pipeline with all of my clients, projects, and progress statuses in one place.
  • All of my branding automatically integrated into everything that I send.

Cons
  • wake on lan doesn't work well

  • The inability to export client data is ultimately what led us to switch to another CRM. It was great to be able to see all client project information within the specific project, but we needed everything from contracts, to general client data to form submissions and questionnaires to ALL be exportable data and that was not an option. All information only lived in HoneyBook.
  • HoneyBook's forms were beautiful but I wish they would have been able to link to SurveyMonkey or Zapier to allow for more integrations. We might not have switched to another platform had that been the case.

Since I do not use ALL the functionality in HoneyBook, I have wondered if the plan I am on is too much. That is why I rated a 9 rather than 10. I have definitely considered downgrading but not leaving HoneyBook.

Usability
It is just very easy to use. It has a good user interface on it, the items are where I expect them to be and I find it to work as I expect it to work without surprises.

This is now a copy-paste response since this platform is asking me to answer every single question. It is such a negative experience with Honeybook that they even upset me while I'm trying to warn others of all the horrible pitfalls in working with the platform.

I've never had to call support so I do not have an answer for this question. I find the software works well but we have a support desk who would work with them if we had back end issues

They have ALWAYS been amazing when I needed any type of service or help. Their concierge service is also amazing vs other services I have used in the past. I have confidence when I ask for help - both through Chat or even on their Facebook group that I will get an answer quickly.

  • HoneyBook has increased my efficiency, particularly when it comes to billing. I wanted to make it easier for myself to bill and HoneyBook has made it a breeze to automate my system.
  • I love the forms HoneyBook provides, which fit seamlessly with my website. It makes lead generation easy, and automation has been a dream come true for my efficiency.
  • HoneyBook has given me the ability to quickly follow up with professional materials that I wouldn't have had printed to hand out to potential customers. I love the digital capabilities and simplicity of the system, which has been worth the investment.
