HoneyBook vs Bonsai vs Dubsado (and Moxie)
Four suites built for freelancers and small service businesses, next to SoloWOS. We list what each one includes, mark what we couldn't confirm, and leave prices to their own pricing pages because they change often.
IN SHORT
HoneyBook, Bonsai, Dubsado and Moxie are client management suites for freelancers: proposals, contracts, invoices, scheduling and a client portal. They differ in workflows, accounting features and payments. SoloWOS covers the same core and adds document tracking, screen recording, link in bio and short links, with payments into your own Stripe account, for $15/month with all 13 tools. Basic has every tool too, for $2/month after a 14-day free trial.
