Switching from HoneyBook
Outgrew the tier ladder?
Keep 100% of your deposits.
If you’re tired of HoneyBook pushing you to Essentials or Premium for features you already expected — or watching a cut come off every booking — BookNox does the same job for $29/month flat, every feature included, with deposits paid straight to your own bank. No tiers, no per-booking skim, no lock-in.
Why vendors leave
The three things that push people out.
- The tier ladder. QuickBooks sync, automations, and a second team seat each push you up a tier. BookNox has one price — those don’t move it.
- The per-booking cut. A platform fee on top of card processing adds up fast across a busy season. BookNox’s platform fee is 0% — you pay only standard Stripe processing, the same as anywhere.
- The money path. BookNox uses Stripe Connect direct charges, so deposits land in your bank account. BookNox never holds your money or routes it.

How switching works
An afternoon, not a migration project.
There’s no risky data export and no one-click importer — and that’s a feature, not a gap. Your HoneyBook history stays exactly where it is. You just stand up your new front door:
- 1. Set up your packages once. Re-create your services and prices in settings (about 15 minutes) plus your per-vertical contract defaults.
- 2. Grab your booking link. You get a single shareable page at booknox.com/book/your-name — instant quote, signed contract, and deposit in one flow.
- 3. Point new inquiries at it. Update your link in bio, email signature, and inquiry replies. New clients book through BookNox.
- 4. Finish out HoneyBook in parallel. Let existing HoneyBook bookings run their course there. Nothing in flight gets disrupted.

What it costs
$29/month flat. Every feature. Zero skim.
Instant quote pages, ESIGN-compliant contracts, deposit collection (card, ACH, Apple Pay, Google Pay), and a Google Calendar drop — all included, for one flat price. No tier gating the way you get the things you need, and no platform fee skimmed off each booking. The deposit is yours the moment it clears.
Switching FAQ
The honest answers.
- Can I import my HoneyBook clients and contracts? There's no one-click importer — and you don't really need one. Your past HoneyBook bookings and contracts stay in HoneyBook, so you keep your history. In BookNox you set up your packages once, then point new inquiries at your booking link. Most vendors are fully set up the same afternoon.
- What does BookNox cost compared to HoneyBook? $29/month flat with every feature included — no Starter / Essentials / Premium ladder, and zero per-booking platform fee on top of standard card processing. HoneyBook gates QuickBooks sync, automations, and team seats behind its higher tiers.
- Will switching mess up my existing bookings or deposits? No. Anything already booked through HoneyBook stays there until it's finished — run both side by side during the transition. Deposits you collect through BookNox go straight to your own bank account via Stripe Connect; BookNox is never in the money path and takes 0% on top.
- How long does it actually take to switch? An afternoon. Set up your packages and contract defaults in settings, grab your booking link, and you're live. If you get stuck, email hello@booknox.com and we'll help you get set up.
- Can I cancel anytime? Yes. The $29/month subscription is billed by Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record — cancel anytime, with a 14-day refund window. No annual lock-in.
