Featured app • HoneyBook

Less admin, more billable time

Quotes, contracts, invoices, payments, scheduling, project tracking. Most service businesses run all of it across five different tools, losing billable hours to manual follow-ups, copy-paste, and chasing signatures. HoneyBook combines the entire client journey in one AI-powered platform built for small businesses. Send a proposal, get it signed and paid, manage the project, and book the next call without switching tabs. Used by over 100,000 freelancers, agencies, and service professionals across the US and Canada.

What is it:

An AI-powered CRM and client management platform combining proposals, contracts, invoices, payments, scheduling, and project tracking in one workspace.

Who is it for:

Freelancers, agencies, and small service-based businesses who manage clients end-to-end and want fewer tools doing it.

Alternative to:

Dubsado, 17hats, Bonsai, or stitching together Stripe, DocuSign, Calendly, and a separate CRM.

Why we like it:

We like HoneyBook because the client journey shouldn't span five logins.
