### "I couldn’t run my business without it "

November 19, 2019

5.0

I’ve never had any issues. I tell all of my wedding vendors friends about how much I love it! I’ve had one sign up through my code so far and I made $200!

Pros

I love the pre made templates, it makes answering emails and creating files for my clients extremely easy and cuts my time down. Before using HoneyBook, I was going crazy managing all my weddings and searching for certain correspondence from a certain bride, I was sometimes mixing up dates and losing certain files all together. I love being able to pull up my bride’s file and having all of our correspondence in one place, along with all of my files for them.

Cons

I wish there were more options for the pre made templates, that we can title and choose from. For now, I can only make the one follow up email. There are others that I would like to make. Also, I wish I could change the body of the email and it would save it to how I would like to word it. For now, I have to change some wording around every time I send out files to my potential clients. I also really would like to be able to make a timeline through HoneyBook. For now I have to create it in another space and email it separately to my client. It would be nice to have it all under the same file, especially with handling so many brides and weddings.

### "Natasha Rae Artistry Review "

March 2, 2022

5.0

Very user friendly

Pros

Streamlines workflow, templates are either already perfectly set up, or if not, so easy to make changes.

Cons

Con mentioned in previous question when asked how can you improve

Reason for choosing HoneyBook

User friendly, and honestly, the layout of the desktop and app are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I know that sounds weird, but being a beauty pro, I need colors and icons to flow. So thank you, thank you for making a pretty software system! Haha

### "HoneyBook el CMR que todo profesional debe tener de aliado"

November 26, 2022

5.0

Tengo una experiencia muy positiva con HoneyBook, yo ofrezco mis servicios como diseñador, mientras que HoneyBook se encarga de toda la documentación como contratos, facturas y comunicaciones con el cliente. Simplemente sorprendente.

Pros

Me gusta mucho HoneyBook porque me permite gestionar clientes, realizar contratos dinámicos, procesar pagos, entre muchas herramientas muy útiles si inicias con tu emprendimiento. La plataforma es muy fácil de usar y sobretodo muy segura. Si eres alguien que busca hacer crecer su negocio es importante ofrecer confianza y seguridad a tus clientes y HoneyBook es tu mejor aliado.

Cons

Aunque HoneyBook tiene una plataforma muy intuitiva, si es necesario que realices configuraciones según los requerimientos del emprendedor, esto puede tomar algo de tiempo.

### "Putting your mind to ease"

July 7, 2022

5.0

HoneyBook is an all in one platform that I would recommend to anyone who is anxious or nervous to do manage their business. They provide all the necessary tools for anybody to get started quickly. If you have some for your literature already created, you may present those to the HoneyBook's team and they will create the generic templates for you to get started very quickly. From there you can customize it or scrap it completely and start a different template of your liking.

Pros

I enjoy customizing the templates they have for each customer's individual needs. I love giving my customers a quick payment platform so they do not have to jump through different websites or accounts for access.

Cons

I have not experienced any glitches on the platform that was not solved very quickly. One glitch I had recently was that the project page was not loading, but they had a notification on the side stating that their team is already working on this issue before I noticed it.

Reason for choosing HoneyBook

I chose HoneyBook because they had a great first year pricing. This was important to me at the time because I wanted to test different products until something fit perfectly for my business.

### "If you don’t use HoneyBook, you really should! "

July 2, 2022

5.0

So far my experience with HoneyBook has been nothing short of amazing! I use it for ALL of my inquiries and invoices as it’s easier for clients to pay and it gives me a peace of mind that my emails won’t end up in other inboxes!

Pros

I like how easy it is to use and create proposals, contracts and invoices. I LOVE how you can talk back and forth straight through the software with clients instead of having to use your email inbox where things tend to get lost and you have everything on each projects thread.

Cons

I don’t like how I can’t edit proposals and invoices through my cellphone on the app, and how long it takes to receive payment.

### "Not Solopreneur Friendly"

June 21, 2023

3.0

My overall experience was neutral. I enjoyed the instant deposit feature but the fees were higher than the industry standard. I did not like the difficulty of other features and made the experience unenjoyable for clients and myself.

Pros

I enjoyed the instant payment feature. The fees were a bit high though.

Cons

The price is expensive for solopreneurs. The features are overwhelming and there is a steep learning curve.

### "HoneyBook is great for photographers!"

August 23, 2021

5.0

It’s been really great! I’ve had nothing but friendly and professional interactions from the staff at HoneyBook.

Pros

The ease of use for sending invoices, contracts, and online brochures (PDF documents).

Cons

I wish there was a reward system to offer my clients. Something that would give them a discount on their next purchase with me once they’ve spent a certain amount with our business. It would be nice if HoneyBook could integrate that option.

### "A MUST for every service-based business!"

June 23, 2021

5.0

Pros

I recommend Honeybook to EVERY service-based business owner I talk to. I love simplicity and Honeybook makes all of the processes with client communication and management SO much easier than I ever expected! Honeybook gives your business a professional feel and definitely levels up the client experience (I started using this platform initially because I LOVED being on the client-side of things when planning our wedding and wanted the same for my clients). There are so many different features and it's still very affordable even for a new business owner starting out!

Cons

The only feature I wish I could have used a little differently would be a way to connect a Google Drive folder (it's where I work through content for a web design project with my client, so it needs to be more collaborative than a final pdf)

### "Easy-to-use, all-purpose software for small business owners"

May 15, 2022

5.0

Pros

I love that it covers so many features: from invoicing, to contracts, to scheduling. I use Honeybook everyday. It makes it worth the money. Oftentimes, when I send someone a proposal, they say that they like the clean interface.

Cons

I would like to see more scheduling abilities from the app.

Reason for choosing HoneyBook

I found it way easier to use, with a cleaner interface. I thought I'd eventually switch to Dubsado for a more advanced experience down the road, but I love HB so I haven't left! Plus they've added more features as of late that make them competitive with Dubsado, like the smart files.

### "Have not looked back"

February 5, 2019

5.0

I have had HoneyBook as part of my business for years, and it was one of the best decisions I have made. It helps me directly respond to website inquiries, keep my projects organized, electronically invoice, send proposals and contracts oh yeah, and collaborate if I chose to, with other vendors on a project. That I can safely collect payments and schedule future payments from clients is a huge benefit. The client recieves automatic reminders without me lifting a finger!

Pros

As a photographer,I greatly appreciate its beauty. I am able to customize a proposal, invoice or contract with MY images alongside text, and they go from a boring document to an eye catching professional electronic tool that enables me to seemlessly conduct business.

Cons

Sometimes it is too progressive for me! I am after all a photog and not a tech geek. That’s when I reach out for help, and the support team is there to walk me through.

### "Best Decision I Made For My Company"

September 13, 2021

5.0

It has been wonderful and has boosted my business's profitability. I can take the info I gathered from HoneyBook and show a bank real numbers.

Pros

I like that I can use it in several ways. From making brochures to invoicing, to contracts. Everything is in one place.

Cons

I would like the ability to chose the date of expiration, versus week to week.

Reason for choosing HoneyBook

HoneyBook was easier to use.

### "Don't Waste a TON of TIme if You Like Your Clients"

February 23, 2024

1.0

Please see above - horrible and time wasting experience. Move on and try something that WORKS and looks good as well.

Pros

Affordable and Backend looks nice - so that's something!

Cons

Client experience if poor. Integrations are awful. Layout, design and look are atrocious and check out for clients is multi step.....Who does that anymore? We spent a week trying to get it setup and working well and efficiently....no way it was going to. And if we have to handhold it and manually do a TON of things.....why bother? MANY other options available and we've moved to one.

Hey there! We appreciate your feedback and apologize that your experience wasn't what you were hoping for when moving to a new platform. We do our best to create a platform that fits the needs of various different businesses and business owners but we understand that we aren't going to be perfect for everyone out there. But we love to get specific feedback on what you feel HoneyBook is missing or could improve upon so that future features and upgrades our team does can benefit many. You mentioned integrations but if there are certain, specific integrations that you feel would be helpful, we'd love to know what those are. And where exactly in the onboarding process was it the most difficult. Let us know so we can continue to improve on our end. Appreciate your feedback!

April 1, 2022

Amazing, love it!

Pros

The list is endless. This CRM covers all the bases for me as a small business owner.

Cons

Not anything major to say, other than the iOS app is a little limited to what can be done on it. Compared to the laptop / desktop web browser version.

### "The HoneyBook creators seek to understand and help me run my business smoothly."

June 29, 2021

5.0

Overall, HoneyBook has helped me not have to reinvent the wheel, as they say, and save my templates and also offers template ideas. This is a huge time-saver. Also, I was doing my work in several different spaces, and now I am able to do virtually everything I need in one place.

Pros

What I like most about the software is that I'm able to create my brochures, invoices, emails, notes all in one place. Another very important aspect for me is that we can set payment reminders and I can customize payment amounts and due dates.

Cons

I least like that I cannot decide more of what I would like my clients to be able to see within the project. (I may be incorrect in saying this and not yet know how to do this.)

### "Best way to keep my business Organized and running smoothly "

September 6, 2021

5.0

There are so many benefits to using HoneyBook as a small business owner but for me the ease of use, organization, and project management tools are the main draw.

Pros

The individual project pages make my job so much easier. I can click on a project and everything from emails, contracts, questionnaires, notes, timelines and everything else are right in one spot. It makes running a small business a little less stressful.

Cons

I wish I could integrate it into my website.

### "Honeybook is a great choice"

March 2, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with Honeybook has been a great and positive process, setting up my account and portal and finding assistance on the site is a breeze and if more help is needed they are extremely responsive.

Pros

Honeybook is easier to set up than other similar software and the features are great for the price.

Cons

The only con I have found with Honeybook is the lack of a download feature for contracts and invoices after they've been executed.

Reason for choosing HoneyBook

It was easier and faster to set up and more of what I was looking for.

I have been able to drop other CRMs, and Website customer portals, and scheduling apps by replacing these with HoneyBook.

Pros

Ease of use, ease of setup, simple design, fantastic features!

Cons

Being a new product there are some areas that would be nice to see (i.e. reimbursable expense capture) but has all of the core features you really need to make the investment worth it.

### "One of the best customer service relationship managers around!"

April 3, 2020

5.0

We've been using them for a couple of years now and just recently moved our second business into the HB system. We're happy with the way things are and don't plan on changing anytime soon!

Pros

Honeybook has everything we need to run our two companies (and we use it for both). Support has been absolutely excellent, and we love how they're constantly adding new features and templates. HoneyBook is easy to use and they take security seriously, which we value.

Cons

They're stuck in the Stripe system for payments with zero other options. We run our businesses using PayPal and the lack of paymention options pales in comparison to a couple of the CRM competitors out there. The app could use with a UX/UI redesign for the new decade. It's easy to use, but could be much better.

Reason for choosing HoneyBook

They offered the same type of service geared towards our industry (designers) vs some of the other competitors.

It has been game changer for someone like me, who was stuck in my old ways of paper contracts and invoices. My clients love it, and once I got over the initial set up process, and my own stubbornness - I love it too.

Pros

I love how my clients respond to the Honeybook portal, ease of payments and contract signing!

Cons

I do wish, that the scheduling aspect was better equip for mini sessions, and different events you can host!

August 27, 2020

From set up and transition of my current clients to editing templates for incoming clients - HoneyBook has made client management for me a dream!!

Pros

I have been searching for a CRM that was intuitive and HoneyBook FINALLY fit the bill!

Cons

The only thing that is missing for me right now is that there are no integrations with other accounting programs besides quickbooks, and that the task management portion isn't quite as robust as I would like it to be.

July 19, 2019

It’s saved me so much time organizing client data, bookkeeping, payment processing and contracts. Their helpful reminders to keep things from falling through the cracks and maintaining my brand appearance when working with clients.

Pros

When singing up with Honeybook they took my exhausting contracts, forms, questionnaires and placed them into their system. This saved me so much time switching from DIY client management to this online resource.

Cons

When responding to an email through the software, it makes a new email. Some clients have more questions and I’d like a way to organize with in a project the emails.
