Quick answer
On yearly billing, HoneyBook lists $29 (Starter), $49 (Essentials) and $109 (Premium) per month. On monthly billing it lists $36, $59 and $129. Prices were checked on October 22, 2026.
If you work alone and like HoneyBook, stay. It is a polished product. If you are a team of three or more, or you want time tracking, calls and texts with your CRM, price the alternatives.
What HoneyBook costs now
HoneyBook leads with yearly billing. These are the figures from its pricing page, checked October 22, 2026.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Yearly billing, per month | Team members |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $36 | $29 | Not listed |
| Essentials | $59 | $49 | Up to 2 |
| Premium | $129 | $109 | Unlimited |
The plan you need depends on headcount. Essentials lets the owner add up to two team members, so it should cover three people (HoneyBook does not state a total headcount). The fourth person moves you to Premium, which is a jump of $70 a month on monthly billing.
What changed in February 2025
HoneyBook's CEO wrote that it was increasing prices for the first time ever. A third-party review dates the change to February 4, 2025. It lists the old monthly prices as $19, $39 and $79.
| Plan | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $19 | $36 | +89% |
| Essentials | $39 | $59 | +51% |
| Premium | $79 | $129 | +63% |
Members were upset. A community thread from January 2025 shows it. We have no figures for how long existing members kept their old rate, so check your own invoice.

Who should stay on HoneyBook
Switching takes time. Stay if this sounds like you:
- You work alone on Starter. At $29 on yearly billing it is a fair price for a polished client flow.
- You value HoneyBook's polish. Its templates and client-facing pages are well designed, and many creatives choose it for that.
- You have two team members. Essentials at $49 to $59 is cheaper on list price than any Workspace369 plan with two seats.
- You are mid-term on a yearly plan. Finish the term. Export your records. Then compare.
What Workspace369 costs for the same team sizes
Workspace369 plans are priced by seats and features. These are list prices on monthly billing.
| Team | HoneyBook | Workspace369 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 person | Starter $36 | Cadet $29, 1 seat |
| 2 people | Essentials $59 | Voyager $74, 2 seats |
| 3 people | Essentials $59 (owner plus up to 2 team members, see note) | Voyager $74 plus 1 extra seat at $10 = $84 |
| 4 people | Premium $129 | Voyager $74 plus 2 extra seats at $10 = $94 |
| 5 people | Premium $129 | Voyager $74 plus 3 extra seats at $10 = $104 |
Note: the 3-person row assumes the owner is not counted in HoneyBook’s “up to 2 team members” (HoneyBook help center); HoneyBook does not state a total headcount.
Be fair about this table. For two or three people, HoneyBook is cheaper: Essentials lets the owner add up to 2 team members for $59. From four people, HoneyBook needs Premium at $129, and Voyager with extra seats is cheaper ($94 for four, $104 for five). Specialist, at $149, includes 10 seats.
So the real question is what each plan includes.
- Cadet includes the CRM, projects, proposals you can approve and sign online, invoices, online payments, retainers and recurring invoices.
- Voyager adds SMS and voice, a shared inbox and a second seat; time tracking is on every plan.
- Specialist adds online booking, payment plans, expenses and basic accounting, with 10 seats.
You can see the full list on the pricing page. Yearly billing saves about 20% on every plan.

Workspace369 costs less. Yearly difference: $69.01
- Matched plan: Cadet, the solo plan, like HoneyBook Starter.
HoneyBook charges per plan, not per person, and Premium has no team limit. Workspace369 adds $10 a month for each seat beyond the plan's included seats, so which one costs less depends on your team size.

How to decide
- Write down how many people need a login today and in a year.
- Price HoneyBook for that number on both monthly and yearly billing.
- List the features you use each week. Check each one on the plan you would pay for.
- Price the same list on Workspace369.
- If the gap is small, stay. Moving has a real cost in time.
HoneyBook also serves customers in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, not only the United States. Check its availability for your country on its own pages.
The bottom line
HoneyBook costs roughly 1.5 to 1.9 times its pre-2025 monthly prices. For a solo creative it can still be the right tool. For teams, the seat caps are what drive the bill. Run the numbers for your own headcount before you decide, and start a 14-day trial of Workspace369 if the table above looks close.
