HoneyBook

Automating my payments and collecting for me. Using the app i don't have to be in front of a computer to check on customers contracts.

no scheduling within the software in which I heard they were working on this. The ability to add someone that works for you and not see contract just logistics.

Keeps contracts in one place, able to accept credit cards. You can network with other vendors, and they seem to really concentrate more on this than actually developing software that works well.

I am a "founding" Honeybook user and bought the lifetime membership. At first, HB was very convenient. The learning curve was very frustrating as the online software had many MANY bugs. It still does. The entire premise behind the software was to free up your time, have all your projects in one place, sign contract, get paid, etc. Yes, great idea! However, the software has so many glitches! You're not able to even edit a person in your contacts. Their customer support team used to be great you could actually message a real person - now you have to wait a day or two to get an email answer and most of the time they just send you a link to deal with your problem. Once you email your client the contract, everything goes down the Honeybook "rabbit hole". My clients are tech savvy and they can't even figure out Honeybook - the emails that I've received from frustrated clients is numerous. Save your time and money and get another online software that will actually do the job - like Sprout Studio or Dubsado. Wish I would have done that from the beginning. Regretting my purchase since my lifetime "membership" isn't transferrable and Honeybook continues to make money off of me by accepting credit card payments. I looked at 17hats, which also didn't have great reviews before I purchased Honeybook. Moving on, however, I'm assuming that the process will not be easy transferring existing contracts and other office files.

The features that are most impactful in Honeybook include automated workflow management, personalized proposal and contract creation, invoicing automation, automated payment reminders, client portal and collaboration tools, custom branding, online booking and scheduling options, integrations with payment processors, an intuitive user interface, content libraries, and rich collaboration tools.

There are a few features I feel could be improved in Honeybook. The most notable one being a better editing and proofreading capability within the platform. Currently, it is difficult and tedious to check and make corrections to text, image and colors throughout a project.It would be great if there was an automated system that could help with this.

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.

There could maybe be more freedom to customize but really it's just an advanced issue. First world problems.
