A free HoneyBook alternative — own your tools, not a subscription

HoneyBook bundles proposals, contracts, invoices and payments into one paid platform for creatives. This suite does the same jobs as separate, offline, one-time-purchase apps — starting with ProposalPro for the proposal and signed contract. No account, nothing uploaded.

The same jobs, without the monthly platform

HoneyBook is a popular all-in-one for photographers, designers and event pros — proposals, contracts, invoices, payments and scheduling in one place, for a monthly fee and a cloud account that stores your client data.

If you would rather own focused tools than rent a platform, this suite splits those jobs into single-file apps you buy once and run offline. ProposalPro covers the contract: a plain-English clause library (scope, payment, late fees, revisions, IP, kill fee and more), deposit and milestone pricing, and a typed-signature acceptance block. LeadTrack, InvoicePro, TimeTrack and CashFlow handle clients, invoicing, hours and cash — together $39 once instead of a recurring bill.

Where ProposalPro wins

Plain-English clauses

13 freelancer clauses you can toggle and edit — scope, payment, IP, kill fee and more.

Out-of-scope list

Spell out what is not included so extra requests become paid change requests.

Deposit & milestones

Fixed, hourly or milestone pricing with deposit and balance-due math.

Typed signatures

Both parties sign with dates, right inside the document.

Save as PDF

Print to a clean PDF and send it however you like.

Own the whole suite

Add invoicing, time, CRM and cash for a one-time $39 — no monthly fee.

When HoneyBook is still the better pick

If you want client inquiries, proposals, contracts, payments and scheduling flowing through one branded portal with automation handled for you, HoneyBook is built for exactly that and worth the subscription. This suite trades that integrated automation for ownership, privacy and a one-time price. Choose based on whether you value an automated client portal or owning your tools outright.

Switching is one click

Frequently asked questions

Is ProposalPro free?
Yes. The free version builds a complete proposal or contract in your browser with no account. A one-time $15 Pro version removes the single-document cap and the print watermark.
Is this a full HoneyBook replacement?
Together, the five tools cover the same jobs (contracts, invoicing, time, CRM, cash) as separate offline apps. They do not include built-in client payments or a branded portal — that is the trade-off for owning them and keeping data local.
How much is the whole suite?
All five tools are $39 as a one-time bundle, versus a recurring monthly subscription for an all-in-one platform.
Are the contracts enforceable?
The clauses are a strong, plain-English starting point, but this is not legal advice — for high-value work, have a lawyer confirm what is enforceable where you are.
Where is my data stored?
Only in your browser. Nothing about your clients, pricing or contract terms is uploaded.
