HoneyBook is the best-known clientflow platform for independent businesses, and it earns that reputation. It is also priced like it. KRBR covers the same core workflow — leads, proposals, contracts, invoices, scheduling and payments — at a fraction of the price, with your own payment accounts instead of a built-in processor.
Choose HoneyBook for its mobile apps, SMS reminders and mature automation ecosystem. Choose KRBR to run the same client workflow for roughly a third of the price, keep payments in your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account, and get AI included on every plan.
KRBR: $10, $20 or $35 per month. Yearly billing gets 2 months free. 14-day trial, no card required.
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | $10/mo | $100/yr |
| In Demand | $20/mo | $200/yr |
| Fully Booked | $35/mo | $350/yr |
Client payments run through your own connected Stripe, PayPal or Square account — you pay your processor's standard rates directly, and KRBR adds no platform fee on top.

If you need the core client workflow — leads, proposals, contracts, invoices, scheduling and payments — KRBR covers it at $10–$35/month versus HoneyBook's $29–$109/month billed yearly, and processes payments through your own accounts. If you need native mobile apps, SMS reminders or advanced automations, HoneyBook is currently ahead.
HoneyBook processes payments inside its platform (cards from 2.7% + 10¢, ACH 1.5%). KRBR connects to your own Stripe, PayPal or Square account: your clients pay you directly, you pay your processor's standard rates, and KRBR never holds your money.
Yes. Export your contacts from HoneyBook, import them into KRBR, and rebuild your templates — most solo businesses complete the move in an afternoon. Your Stripe, PayPal or Square account connects in minutes.
No. You pay only your own processor's standard rates (e.g. Stripe's published pricing). KRBR charges a flat subscription and adds no transaction fee.
No card required. Connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Square and keep every dollar moving direct to you.
