Our take
The self-employed sector is growing quickly, with freelancers now comprising a third of America's workforce. HoneyBook addresses the challenges faced by solo entrepreneurs by offering an all-in-one platform for client communication, invoicing, and booking. it charges a subscription fee and a 3% fee for online transactions.
While competitors like Taver, 17hats, HubSpot Sales Hub, and Calendly offer similar services, HoneyBook stands out by providing an all-in-one platform where users can generate invoices and accept payments seamlessly. this has earned the trust of service providers across the US and Canada, with HoneyBook facilitating over $9B in business bookings.
With the freelance economy in the US projected to encompass 50% of the workforce by 2027, HoneyBook, a unicorn company, is well-positioned for continued growth and success.
