HoneyBook vs. Outlaw

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.

Well suited to template led document creation - where multiple non legal users can create contracts that are locked down and secure from error. Because it is a niche platform it can be tough to persuade users outside our business to use collaboration features. Often we have to export and revert to using MS word for red-lining/track changes.

• 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.

• Easy to use from the contracting side.
• Ability to create a template that fits are needs exactly how we want.
• Easy to connect the consultant with the contract via link or email.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Export function to be more easily used.
• Ability to access fully executed documents more easily (the different version histories results in the wrong version being downloaded a lot).
• Notifications for when a contract is fully executed if you aren't the signee but do need to be notified.

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.

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.

Great user interface and great training and support by the Outlaw team. Whenever we had a question, they were always available to help. Loading templates made the contract process so much quicker and required less approval's from our leadership team, which makes it easier for everyone to do their jobs

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.

The support has been A+. Outlaw is always there when I'm having issues or need assistance. They will get back to me the same day or next. The support team is very knowledgeable and explains it very simplified for us. Julie Appel with Outlaw has been the perfect support for my company in rolling out Outlaw and answering any questions we have.

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.

The main reason we chose Outlaw was the price and customer service. The customer service at Outlaw has been outstanding in helping us learn the process and set up contracts. They are available all the time and respond very quickly. Julie Appel is the best at Outlaw!

• Faster contract process. Our process is smoother and faster then it ever was before.
• Employee efficiency. The process is quicker and has saved time, but I think there are more ways to save even more.
