Solid Payment Invoicing & Proposal Tool
8/10. Once the client has paid the first time, their automated recurring payment solution is working really well for me.
Pros
I moved away from Quickbooks online because they didn't have an easy way to send customers automatic recurring invoices. Honeybook had pre-built service agreements along with the automated recurring payments feature I needed for my business. It was appealing to work with them because set up was very easy to get what we needed up and running
Cons
After a client pays their invoice, it usually takes 12-24 hours for Honeybook to send me a confirmation email saying they've paid. This is (I don't use this word often) absurd. With Quickbooks, I know payment confirmation comes in within 10 minutes.
Especially if I am going to start work with a client right as they pay, this hurdle in their platform stops me from getting to work right away.
It usually leads to me emailing my customer "Did you pay the invoice?" then them replying "I did!" then me looking into Honeybook wondering why the heck it hasn't come in and making me look foolish to my client... Then I finally get the notification the next day.
It's the #1 feature request they need to get updated.
Reasons for Switching to HoneyBook
Because they have online scheduling, and pre-built proposals/service agreements to use. More of an all-in-one platform.

1 out of 5 Stars for Honeybook - Look else where
I would rank the company 1 out of 5 stars. Great idea but after using it for 4 months or so, we had a lot of communication problems with our clients, for example, our emails were getting lost in our client spam folders. We paid for the whole year and cancelled to hopefully get partial refund. Totally our fault that it was past 60 days because we want to keep trying to make it work so we weren't able to get any money back. It sucks but oh well, the worst part is that a conversation that could have taken 10 minutes turned into 3 days because the company had no urgency for customer support. I would suggest going with a different company.
Pros
They had a great idea to streamline and help manage small businesses.
Cons
Customer support. A conversation that could have taken 10 minutes turned into 3 days because the company had no urgency for customer support. I would suggest going with a different company.

The sweetest solution for photographers
Honeybook continues to be a game-changer for our photography business. It has been an integral part of our daily workflow for years now. This year they added calendar and booking functionality.
Pros
Love the customer service. Whenever I need help they are always right there. We use HB for every booking. As soon as a lead goes active, we start a new project and manage everything from communication to proposal to contact to invoicing with HB.
Cons
There could maybe be more freedom to customize but really it's just an advanced issue. First world problems.

Honeybook is AMAZING!!!
My overall experience with Honeybook has been incredible. I use the program for contract, invoices, payment processing, reports, automations, client contact, calendars, questionnaires, and so much more!
Pros
What I love most about Honeybook is that most of my business needs can be handled through them! Aside from client galleries- it’s all done here on Honeybook. The program is organized, intuitive, and includes so many features! It’s easy to learn and use. I can’t imagine running my business without it!
Cons
I have no cons. This meets and exceeds all expectations that I would have for a CRM.
