HoneyBook Alternative for Creative Agencies
HoneyBook helped you launch your creative business. But now that you have a team, multiple ongoing clients, and creative workflows that need proofing, approvals, and revision management, you've outgrown it. AgencyPro is the platform creative agencies upgrade to when HoneyBook's simplicity becomes a limitation.
Why Creative Agencies Struggle with HoneyBook
HoneyBook has no creative proofing or visual review capability — client feedback happens via email
Team creative workflows with assignments, handoffs, and collaboration are completely absent from HoneyBook
Managing multiple active creative projects with varying phases and deadlines overwhelms HoneyBook's basic pipeline
No revision tracking, brand asset management, or creative-specific project metrics in HoneyBook
Why Creative Agencies Switch to AgencyPro
Team Creative Workflows
Manage a creative team with task assignments, workload balancing, and collaboration features. Art directors, designers, copywriters, and producers can all work within their assigned roles on shared projects. HoneyBook doesn't support team-based creative operations.
Client Proofing & Approval
Share creative work for client review and formal approval. Track revision rounds, maintain version history, and create an audit trail. This critical creative agency workflow simply doesn't exist in HoneyBook.
Creative Project Structure
Properly phased creative projects with briefs, concepting, execution, review, and delivery stages. Each phase has its own tasks, deadlines, and approval requirements — far beyond HoneyBook's flat pipeline.
Scalable Business Operations
CRM, proposals, project management, time tracking, invoicing, and reporting that scales from 5 clients to 50+. The complete operational infrastructure creative agencies need to grow beyond what HoneyBook can support.

“What has made my experience with AgencyPro great is how thoughtfully the whole platform is put together. It replaces the patchwork of tools we used to rely on with one cohesive system.”

Frequently Asked Questions
At what point should creative agencies switch from HoneyBook?
Most creative agencies outgrow HoneyBook when they have 3+ team members, manage 8+ concurrent projects, or need client approval workflows and creative proofing. If you're supplementing HoneyBook with Asana, Slack, or proofing tools, it's time to consolidate into AgencyPro.
Will I lose the simplicity I liked about HoneyBook?
AgencyPro is designed to be intuitive while offering deeper functionality. The day-to-day experience remains simple — you just have access to more powerful features when you need them. Creative teams typically find AgencyPro easier to use than the multi-tool stack they assembled around HoneyBook.
Does AgencyPro handle proposals and contracts?
Yes. AgencyPro includes proposal creation, contract management, and digital signatures — matching HoneyBook's business development features while adding the operational depth that growing creative agencies need.
Can I import my HoneyBook clients and history?
You can export client data from HoneyBook and import it into AgencyPro. Our onboarding team helps creative agencies set up their workflows, templates, and client portals to ensure a smooth transition.
