Frequently asked questions
Common questions about AgencyPro and HoneyBook
What is the difference between AgencyPro and HoneyBook?
HoneyBook is client management software for small service businesses: CRM and pipeline, proposals, contracts, invoices and payments, scheduling, automations, a client portal and HoneyBook AI. AgencyPro is a client portal and delivery platform for agencies: a service catalog, requests, projects, tickets, approvals and billing. HoneyBook is built to book clients and get paid; AgencyPro to deliver ongoing work for them.
How much does HoneyBook cost compared with AgencyPro?
HoneyBook lists Starter at $29/month, Essentials at $49/month and Premium at $109/month, billed yearly; monthly billing costs more. Starter and Essentials include up to 2 team members, and Premium includes unlimited team members. AgencyPro charges a plan fee with one seat plus a per-seat fee: 10 people on Pro cost $79 + 9 x $20 = $259/month, or $215.83/month billed yearly. For teams of 3 or more, HoneyBook Premium costs less at list price.
Does HoneyBook work outside the US?
HoneyBook says it is currently available for business owners in the U.S., Canada, the UK and Australia. AgencyPro takes payments through your own Stripe or PayPal account, so availability depends on those providers in your country.
Does HoneyBook have time tracking?
HoneyBook's plan comparison does not list time tracking. If you bill hourly or track time against retainers, AgencyPro includes timers, manual entries and timesheet reports on the Pro plan, along with hourly and credit-based services.
What are HoneyBook's payment processing fees?
HoneyBook's pricing page lists card fees starting at 2.7% + 10 cents in its payments section (2.9% + 25 cents in its plan table) and 1.5% for ACH bank transfers. AgencyPro charges no transaction fees of its own; you pay your provider's standard Stripe or PayPal fees.
Can I migrate from HoneyBook to AgencyPro?
Partly. AgencyPro's CSV importer brings in clients and services. Projects, proposals, contracts, files and payment history are not imported automatically, so export what you need from HoneyBook for your records and recreate active work in AgencyPro. On the Plus plan, the AgencyPro team helps plan and run the migration.
AgencyPro or HoneyBook: which fits your agency?
AgencyPro vs HoneyBook compares an agency delivery portal with a client management tool built for small service businesses. HoneyBook handles the path from inquiry to payment: CRM, proposals, contracts, scheduling, invoices and automations, with a client portal and AI tools. AgencyPro handles what comes next for agencies: requests, projects, tickets, approvals and recurring billing.
HoneyBook is cheaper for most team sizes, and Premium includes unlimited team members for $109 a month billed yearly. It is available in the US, Canada, UK and Australia, and its plan comparison does not list time tracking.
If your work is project-based and booked one client at a time, HoneyBook fits. If you run retainers with a steady flow of requests, approvals and hourly or credit-based billing, AgencyPro fits better.
Who should choose HoneyBook
- Small service businesses whose main workflow is inquiry, proposal, contract and payment
- Teams that want unlimited team members on a flat plan (Premium)
- Businesses that rely on scheduling and automated follow-ups
- Businesses based in the US, Canada, UK or Australia
Who should choose AgencyPro
- Agencies handling ongoing client requests on retainer
- Teams billing hourly or with credit-based packages
- Creative teams that need annotated, versioned approvals
- Agencies outside the US, Canada, UK and Australia that use Stripe or PayPal
Bottom line: pick the tool that handles your most common client workflow with the fewest workarounds. AgencyPro pricing is a plan fee plus a per-seat fee for each extra team member (see AgencyPro pricing), so price both tools at your real team size before you decide. If HoneyBook already covers how you onboard, deliver to and bill clients, switching may not be worth the migration work.
