Honeybook is a game-changer for Service Oriented Small-Businesses
The biggest problem that I've struggled with since launching my business is obtaining payment in a timely fashion. Honeybook totally fixed that problem for me. I don't have to give a laundry-list of payment methods or pay for additional payment services, wait around for physical checks, or process e-checks. My customers just plop in their card information and then it hits my bank account.
SO. NICE.
Pros
Honeybook took my booking process to a massively higher level of success. My contracts are all signed, and invoices are paid before I even start designing. I walk my customers through the process and we discuss TAT and rates, next steps, and then I kick them over the Proposal with the same details we discussed during the sale.
With other software I've struggled to receive timely payments, or contract signatures.
Not anymore!
Cons
The contract templates are pretty limited to social media management and marketing ops. I think that every business needs their own contracts, period, but it would be nice to have a better starting place for other service providers.
Additionally, the emails that Honeybook kicks out for proposals, payments, contracts and the like have reportedly found their way to many of my customer's spam box. I just warn them ahead of time, but it's not super reassuring to some more leery customers.

Honeybook
Pros
Posts from other creators to help on jobs if needed.
Cons
Cost was expensive long term and not in out budget at the time but they do work with small businesses to help with that during slow times

Tries to do a lot of things, but none of them are done very well
I felt like the app looked great and had great potential, but the clunky UI design left me frustrated. We had been using it for almost a year and still felt that something just wasn't clicking. We ended up moving away from Honeybook and chose another program that was more specific to our industry.
Pros
The look and feel of the app is very clean, love the ability to add images and customize the look and feel of contracts, flyers, brochures and more. Adding a custom form field to our website was easy to do. Automation feature seems nice, but we didn't really use it.
Cons
In contracts the most frustrating thing is that you can only add line items at the very bottom of the invoice. That means if you have a very long invoice and want to add a line to the top of the page, you have to add a line at the bottom and drag it all the way up to the top ( which is extremely tedious ). It wastes so much time that it made me wonder if we wasted more time trying to use this clunky app than just doing things the way we were used to in excel!

HoneyBook made managing my work so much easier and more efficient.
My experience with HoneyBook was great. The automation and payment options were a major plus, and the customer service was great. It's a great tool for small business owners looking for a comprehensive CRM solution.
Pros
What I liked most was its ease of use and the ability to easily customize my workflow. With HoneyBook, I was able to quickly add, edit and delete contacts, access contact activity, and collaborate with customers.
Cons
The thing I liked least about HoneyBook was the cost. Despite being an incredibly useful tool for a small business, it comes with a premium price tag.
