HoneyBook

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

It’s not as good for booking group classes for clients compared to other websites. I will use the other website is set more...

Keeps track of the projects. Auto reminder follow ups, financial records, project recap, booking forms and how the project details auto populate

The financial reports are not accurate. Also need easier login for multiple business logins. Deposits take a little longer sometimes

limited advanced customization for workflows and only basic reporting.

The contract features are vast and can be customized and create and save templates.

Nachteile

Honeybook doesn't let you use your own email address after configuration.

Vorteile

I liked how I could set up my invoices and send them

Nachteile

I don’t think I have had any set backs with this

Vorteile

Customizing the aesthetics of Client facing files was the reason we used it and the time invested in getting those things created, was why we stuck with it far longer than we should have. Regret every penny and every hour spent on this software, ultimately they “updated” their format (again) and we had to start all over - at our expense and time investment. They lost every payment dispute, dispute our never having lost one when we could handle them: our contracts are iron clad. You’re not given the choice to handle dispute: they must do it - they charge you for it too!

Nachteile

Customer service is pass-the-buck and no phone number and call backs hours to days later…don’t bother calling on a Friday afternoon, and if u do biz on weekends - too bad for you. Extremely slow to create something, it freezes, slow to upload assets, not intuitive to use whatsoever, help docs are vague. I once begged them to add non-gmail email and they told me their software was “not sophisticated” enough for me.

I actually have no cons. My experience with Honey has been great.

Honeybook's easy-to-use invoicing features have set a new standard for efficiency. As a professional managing multiple clients and projects, HoneyBook has made the task of creating and managing invoices simple for myself and easy for my clients to make payments.

Nachteile

There is nothing that I dislike about Honeybook.

I like how comprehensive HoneyBook is in listing out contact details, project history, and communication points pertinent to specific clients of ours.

Hi,If you don't want to be scammed, you must stay away from HoneyBook.Don't waste your valuable time and business by using HoneyBook.I won't say much, just say that if you accept payment through Honeybook, the payment will not come to you.Thank you

Vorteile

I loved how I could create workflows for myself.

Nachteile

Unfortunately my clients said it was confusing and they didn't know how to work inside of it to do edits etc.

Vorteile

One of the things I liked most about HoneyBook was its all-in-one platform for managing client interactions and business processes. The ability to streamline and automate tasks such as client communication, project management, invoicing, and contracts was incredibly valuable. The intuitive interface and customizable templates made it easy to create professional-looking proposals and streamline my workflow. Additionally, the collaborative features, such as the ability to share files and communicate with clients in real-time, enhanced the overall client experience.

Nachteile

While HoneyBook had many positive aspects, one thing I liked least was the limited reporting and analytics capabilities. The platform provided basic insights into my business metrics, such as income and project status, but I would have appreciated more in-depth reporting and analytics features. It would be beneficial to have access to more comprehensive data and visualizations to gain a deeper understanding of my business performance and make data-driven decisions.

Vorteile

Invoicing I like the ability to easily invoice and send

Nachteile

Should be able to have more functionality

Vorteile

Useful features such as invoice creation, contract development and managing contracts. Great for independent business owners whether your business is small or progressing. Convenient tools for the structure of my small business. I mostly use this app for invoice, payments and scheduling. Features work wonderful.

Nachteile

Can be a little confusing at first but eventually I learned about the tools.

Vorteile

This is a great tool for sending invoices, signing contracts, booking and scheduling appointments, tracking inquiries, managing projects, accepting payments, and sending forms. It is incredibly easy and fast to set up and use, this is a really powerful tool.

Nachteile

I have no complaints except that the proof reading capability could be enhanced in the platform and/or translation options available.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu HoneyBook

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

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.

Nachteile

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.

Invoicing is simpler, and I can manage my projects in a more structured manner.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Tienes todo lo necesario para comenzar a trabajar de manera profesional con clientes de cualquier parte. Como dueño de una agencia de marketing y diseño web, iniciar con hooneybook me ayudo mucho a escalar mi empresa en los inicios

Nachteile

Para quienes inician, pagar una mensualidad de esta clase puede ser un poco difícil, por lo tanto, al ser una aplicación enfocada en empresas pequeñas que están iniciando, debo darle un punto en contra al hecho del precio para quienes inician, debería haber una opción limitada para quienes inician con diferentes tipos de negocios

Vorteile

I really enjoy how easy it is to use the system. I take a lot of payments and handle invoices and this program makes it easy

Nachteile

The customer service can take a while to answer the phone or resolve a problem online

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Does offer document management / sharing to organize agreements to obtain signatures from clients, which is easy and efficient to use

Nachteile

This product was pitched to our team as the supreme tool for doc management / / sharing / signatures, but it was no different, and had less features, than similar tools

Vorteile

If I could think of a pro I would add it. If you are looking to be overcharged and never refunded use this software.

Nachteile

No customer service. When they charge incorrectly you cannot reach them to get it corrected. Product was not impressive to start to have to deal with this billing issue.

Vorteile

The branding, logo and name are all trendy and up to date. This is very important when interating with new people, new clients. One wants the interface to be inviting.

Nachteile

It could have better contract signing features.
