HoneyBook
CRM, contracts, and invoicing all-in-one for creative freelancers.
About HoneyBook
HoneyBook is a client relationship management (CRM) and business management platform for creative freelancers, available on web, iOS, and Android. It consolidates the entire client workflow — lead capture forms, project proposals, service pricing packages, contracts with legally binding e-signatures, invoices, and payment collection — into a single client portal interaction. Automation triggers send follow-up emails, contract reminders, and payment requests at defined stages. HoneyBook is particularly popular among photographers, graphic designers, event planners, and videographers who manage clients through a defined proposal-to-payment process. It is used by creative service providers who want to replace a combination of separate CRM, DocuSign, and invoicing tools with one streamlined platform built for their business model.
