HoneyBook is the best.
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.
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.
Reasons for Switching to HoneyBook
I chose Honeybook for the invoice tracking and easy client setup. I had hoped to figure out more features to get more out of the offering but I just got lost in the lack of finding videos how to use the tools for my needs.- Industry: Design

Honey Could Be Sweeter
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.

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

I didn't. I used Honeybook up until my free trial was over. It was just too expensive for my start up. With that said - it is worth the investment. You definitely get what you pay for.- Industry: Graphic Design

I don't want to be with out it
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.
