The ProductizeHoneyBook is great for solo creatives who book clients. Agencies with a team and ongoing client work usually outgrow it. Here are the alternatives built for that, and when each one fits.
HoneyBook is designed around booking clients, not a team handling ongoing requests.
There's no time tracking, so you can't see hours per client or bill retainers by the hour.
Payments cost 1.5% to 2.9% + 25¢ per transaction, including card processing.
No request queues or proofing are listed for reviewing creative work.
