Love HoneyBook but I wish they would have continued using the Legacy files. They are simply so much better, friendly and deliver smoothly. Also, I feel like they make unnecessary changes to the platfo... See more

Too expensive for the amount we do

Too expensive for the amount we do. It's fine, it's nice; it's just getting more and more expensive and we don't use event half the tools you provide. I'm sure Honeybook is wonderful for a very busy business. It's just not it for a small business like ours.

Contract Signing and Invoices

I used Stripe before using honey book and i love that honey book does all in one! I can create a contract and invoice and payment project and send it in one link so my clients can sign and pay immediately! Just makes it all around smooth! It does take a second to figure out the website but once you do its amazing!

I love the ease of creating contracts…

I love the ease of creating contracts and invoices, but can't stand the fact that payment amounts cannot be altered once they're set. Not letting someone split their payments between different cards or on different dates is so hard to explain to people when they're spending such high amounts.

I have been using HoneyBook for a few…

I have been using HoneyBook for a few years now and absolutely love it. I love that. I am not chasing down unpaid invoices. It’s so nice having everything on autopilot and being able to take care of everything in one place, rather than multiple different platforms. My favorite aspects are the reoccurring payments and the contracts. It has allowed me to scale my business to 6-figures seamlessly.

It’s getting too complex and less user friendly. There are too many issues with clients being able to access their portals and with access being consistent on business owner’s end. I want to switch, but wasn’t given notice that my account was up for renewal.

Not worth the price

It's very expensive (and the price only keeps increasing!) for a CRM that keeps giving me glitches. And because I'm in Canada, many of the capabilities just don't work. Eg. syncing with quickbooks, bank accounts, etc. It's frustrating. And lately I've been having issues with how it records my payments and it's not keeping clear records. I rely on this for tax purposes and now I feel like I can't trust it to track my payments like I need it to. Engineers have been "working on it" for months and nothing has changed. I need to find a more reliable CRM.
