Everything HoneyBook does, plus your books.

Managing clients is only half the job

HoneyBook helps you win and manage clients, but it isn't your accounting system: so you still export payments into QuickBooks or a spreadsheet at month-end. BuddyWorkflow does the client side and the books, so a paid invoice updates your accounts the moment it clears.

See the money, not just the pipeline

Alongside your client pipeline you get real bookkeeping: income and expenses, cash position, taxes, reports and a business plan, plus marketing analytics so you know which channels actually pay off.

Free books, honest fees

Your books are free forever. When clients pay, bank transfers are free and cards are passed through at Stripe's exact cost with zero markup. No surprise add-ons.

Common questions

Can BuddyWorkflow replace HoneyBook?
It covers the client CRM, invoicing and payment tracking most service businesses use HoneyBook for, and adds full bookkeeping and marketing analytics that HoneyBook doesn't include.
Does it actually do the accounting?
Yes: income and expenses, cash position, taxes, reports and a business plan are all built in, and paid invoices post to your books automatically.
What will I pay?
Books are free forever. Bank transfers are free on paid plans and cards are passed through at Stripe's exact cost with zero markup. Get every tool for $24/mo on the 12-month plan, or pay $5 to $9/mo only for the tools you outgrow.

Win the client. Track the money. One login.

Free forever for your books. We pass Stripe's real processing cost straight through, never marking up the rate the way others keep the spread, and Pro removes our fee entirely.
