Client workflows that run themselves
Dubsado automates the same client workflow from first form to invoice, from $35 a month, pricier than HoneyBook's $29 start but built around automation rules.
Open-source invoicing, free for 5 clients
Invoice Ninja is open-source and free for up to 5 clients, from $14 a month beyond that, for the invoicing slice alone without HoneyBook's proposal and contract steps.
Contracts, proposals and invoices in one place
Bonsai covers the same contracts-proposals-invoices sequence from $15 a month, cheaper than HoneyBook's $29 start, sold as a straight paid plan rather than a trial.
Freelance profiles and payments with no commission
Contra centers on a public freelance profile with payments and no commission, free to start, a fit for landing new clients rather than running a pipeline for existing ones.
Contracts and invoices for a solo freelancer
Indy bundles contracts and invoices for a solo freelancer with a free tier and paid plans from $12.50 a month, a lighter and cheaper version of the same pipeline.
