HoneyBook alternative questions

Is SoloWOS a full replacement for HoneyBook?
For most solo freelancers, yes: proposals, e-signatures, invoices paid by card, a booking page, forms, a client portal, a pipeline and follow-up automations are all there. Invoices can repeat on a schedule, sent with a pay link. What SoloWOS doesn't do today: payment plans, automatic card charges, multi-step workflows with branches, SMS or WhatsApp messages, a native mobile app and CFDI for Mexico.
How much does SoloWOS cost compared with HoneyBook?
SoloWOS is $15/month for one user or $35/month for up to 3 users, with every tool included. Basic costs $2/month and has 3 proposals, 5 invoices and 50 bookings a month. HoneyBook sells tiered plans; their pricing page has current prices.
Where does the money from clients go?
To your own Stripe account. You connect it once, clients pay invoices and paid bookings by card on Stripe-hosted pages, and SoloWOS adds no fee on top of Stripe's.
