HoneyBook Reviews

HoneyBook is the best.

Comments: I love this program. I'm not sure if there is anything really like it on the market and I don't care to look. This program has everything I need to keep up with the day to day in my business.

Pros:

I love this program. This is great for photographers and event planners. Likely could be good for another business as well, but as an event planner this program allows me to get inquiries, navigate them through the pipeline stage of booking, invoice clients and send contracts, process payments and build task management and automations all in one place. This program does so much, and connects to QuickBooks which is a huge bonus for me.

Cons:

There isn't really much about the program that I dislike. I don't like that the automations now have two types of files (legacy and templates). They are basically the same and it really makes no sense to me why they exist separately, but it doesn't impede on using the software. Also, the reporting is good but it doesn't really make sense as it's not as functional as I'd like. You can't look at a report in the program, you have to download every time, but, I make due with what's available.

Great for basic client tracking and proposals. Slowest for payment deposits.

Comments: I use the super basic functions of the platform. I am aware of the other great tools it offers - my business just can't afford the pro costs. I am on my fourth year using HB and still trying to figure out how to use some of the features.

Pros:

I purchased Honeybook primarily to keep my client details in a single location while gaining the ability to send proposals and invoices for the clean, professional touch. This area is very easy to use without having to hire a pro.

Cons:

To use all the features of CRM, you need to hire a pro who can set you back at least $2k. Also, the payment deposits are the slowest on the market - days! If you use Square, you get the deposit the next day - same for all other CRMs. If you receive a payment on a Wednesday, for example, you won't get that deposit until at least Monday.

Time Management made easy!

Pros:

I like the consistent updates and the ability to collaborate with peers.

Cons:

I wish it was easier to integrate with other software.

Honey Could Be Sweeter

Comments: It's good for the user that wants everytning in one place and doesnt need to customize much. It has potential and room to contend with others down the road.

Pros:

Simple at times and easy to navigate once you get used to things.

Cons:

Customization was very limitrd. Not being able to add a designed invoice was a deal breaker for me.

Arranges financial claims workflow, documented records, standardized forms

Pros:

HoneyBook ensures credibility for all parties involved in the invoice. It enables us to create digital invoice forms and link them to customer records and email with ease. I liked its ability to track the invoice from sending to payment, as it documents all of that in the records with date and time efficiently.

Cons:

There are not many negatives to HoneyBook, all the tools are easy to use, records are always up to date, notifications are excellent and all transactions are documented efficiently.

I don't want to be with out it

Comments: Affordable, easy to get started, can do it all.

Pros:

Honeybook keeps me organized which in return gives me a good reputation as a service provider. I like that I can do it all - and at that from my phone because theres an app that has most of the features the desk top does

Cons:

There's not much to like about it. It meets all of the things I was looking for in a CRM.

Must see > if you need it, they have it!

Comments: I loved the articles and it definitely helped me determine what I did need. I was a little overwhelmed though. With that said, I was just a beginning business so I wasn't even sure what I needed. For what was there it was fantastic.

Pros:

Honeybook is very dynamic. If you need it, it is most likely included.

Cons:

It became a little overwhelming when I was starting my business. It offered more than I needed. (good problem to have!)

Near Perfect Helper

Comments: Overall, I live using Honeybook. It has helped me keep my client's information and projects easily managed.

Pros:

I appreciate having all of my client's information in one place. I also like that it can be integrated with email, you can create documents and so on.

Cons:

I would like more creative ability within the documents. Also don't like how some of the documents including invoices interact. It's hard to explain. It's both easy and complicated at the same time.

Streamline your Booking Experience

Comments: The software has made our small business more efficient and allows us to focus on the clients, as we run a client based business, it is important that we can take the time we used to spend invoicing, requesting contracts, and following up on payments to interact with our clients more.

Pros:

Honeybook streamlines your process into an easy to use system, once the initial set up, from questionnaires to Invoices and Contracts you have all the tools you need to manage your projects. The desktop and mobile app add flexibility to what you can do with your business at home, in the office, or on the go.

Cons:

The setup process is a bit tricky and unless you have familiarized yourself with template creation, pay someone to build your templates, or find a premade on to edit to work for your needs it is a bit overwhelming if you have no experience at all with creating online templates or websites.

HoneyBook is Sweet

Comments: My overall experience with HoneyBook has been mostly positive. There have been so many updates recently that it can be hard to keep up but all the changes have been very welcome.

Pros:

What I like most about HoneyBook is that you can have your scheduler, contracts, products and checkouts all in one platform.

Cons:

What I like least about HoneyBook is that there is no way to add a global discount code to a product or all products.

Waste of Time

Comments: Frustrating I wasted an entire day trying to use it

Pros:

Nothing I didn't get a chance to use it. I wasted an entire day setting it up and then couldn't send an invoice.

Cons:

Absolutely not user-friendly. I have used quite a few payment platforms but couldn't even send an invoice using this program.

Honeybook is Sweet!

Pros:

I enjoyed this user friendly software. I was offered a seven day trial to see if it was a good fit for my company. Sending invoices was a breeze. One of my favorite features is being able to send crisp, professional looking proposals to possible business prospects. This feature alone helped take my business up a notch.

Cons:

As compared to others, The payout speed for invoices takes close to a week as opposed to a couple of days with other software I have tried. Perhaps that will change in the future.

HoneyBook Client Management and Automation Works

Pros:

HoneyBook offers various templates, contracts, proposals, and a client inquiry management platform. It is very easy to use and successfully integrates with Gmail.

Most efficient book

Pros:

One feature I appreciate is the safe online payment site, which gives my clients peace of mind and enables them to conveniently make purchases without worrying about security. An enormous amount of time was spared for me by the inclusion of thorough templates. It gives my clients all the information they require to move forward and even enables them to e-sign documents with ease.There is nothing about Honey Book that I truly despise. Every privately held company owner should use this platform, in my opinion. It is a transforming tool that takes the administration of your company to new heights, making it a crucial ally on your entrepreneurial journey.

Cons:

There is virtually nothing about HoneyBook that I could ever say I don't like. HoneyBook has actually captured my heart. If I had one wish, it would be for a wider variety of design possibilities that are especially suited for producing compelling proposals and brochures. My love and admiration for HoneyBook, however, remain unwavering despite this nagging longing. Its extensive capabilities and user-friendly UI unquestionably improved my business operations to remarkable levels.

Honeybook is a great system,but not for me!

Comments: While I like honeybook system it was not ideal for me

Pros:

Being able to send contracts, estimates and manage my workflow all in one place.

Cons:

Being able to navigate and the pricing per month.

The essential tool for freelancers

Comments: The intuitive interface of this platform makes it easy for me to navigate and use it, even for those with less experience in business tools. I especially like the variety of customizable templates and layouts they offer, which allow me to tailor documents and communications to my brand image while maintaining a consistent, professional appearance.

Pros:

What I like the most about this platform is its ability to centralize all my business needs in one place. The seamless integration of proposals, invoices, contracts, payments, and scheduling allows me to stay organized and save valuable time.

Cons:

One of the areas where I feel this platform could use some improvement is its reporting and analytics functionality. While the platform provides basic data on projects, payments, and clients, I would like access to more advanced and customizable metrics that allow me to more closely track how my business is performing.
