Pros

“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.”

Moran G.

Mobile Marketing Lead

“It enables us to create digital invoice forms and link them to customer records and email with ease.”

Moran G.

Mobile Marketing Lead

“It referenced clicking an underlined project name above, but that underlined project name did not appear on the thank-you screen.”

Jodi P.

Manager

Pros

“It has some ok features for client management, workflow creation.”

Kate W.

Photographer

“I have been involved in many buy-outs of companies and in my experience, you only buy a company out to get their client list, or to get their technology, to keep a company from being a competitor, or to integrate one company with the other.”

Don E.

Owner

“They are prompt in replying to messages.”

Kate W.

Photographer

Cons

“The issue I am running into is that the client flow is confusing, repetitive, and not nearly as customizable as it needs to be for a professional service-based business. After a client completes a form, schedules a consultation, and pays, they are shown a thank-you screen, receive a payment receipt, and then receive a separate scheduled session email.”

Jodi P.

Manager

“HoneyBook has useful features, but the lack of control over important client-facing details and the difficulty getting fast, specific support answers makes the platform frustrating to use. When clients are paying, scheduling, and receiving automated communication, the process should feel clean and professional — not repetitive, confusing, or limited by features that cannot be customized.”

Jodi P.

Manager

“The problem is that the same information is being repeated in multiple places, and some of the instructions do not even make sense depending on where they appear.”

Jodi P.

Manager

Cons

“I had a person leave my company and now for the past 2 weeks they can still access everything due to the password not actually changing when it says it has.”

Ashlee K.

Owner and Photographer

“It leaves me feeling frustrated every time”

Kate W.

Photographer

“Looking at changing CRM provides due to lack of communication and safety of my business.”
