ZepixoZepixo vs HoneyBook
The real difference is the money path. HoneyBook processes your client payments and charges 2.7% + 10¢ per card transaction; Zepixo connects your own Stripe account and takes nothing. HoneyBook is the broader product, with scheduling, lead forms and contracts. Zepixo is narrower, cheaper, and free for ten seats.

Which one should you use?
Choose HoneyBook if…
- You need scheduling, lead capture forms and contracts in the same tool and would otherwise buy them separately.
- You want one vendor to own the payment relationship, and 2.7% + 10¢ is a price you are happy to pay for that.
- You bill enough that a 30-day trial and a 60-day money-back guarantee matter more than the monthly figure.
Choose Zepixo if…
- You already have Stripe and do not want a second company taking a percentage of your revenue.
- You are two to ten people. Ten seats are free here; on HoneyBook that is the $109/mo Premium tier.
- Your work is projects, not bookings — you want boards and tasks attached to the proposal that sold them.
- You want your proposals served from your own domain.

- A mobile app
Questions
Zepixo and HoneyBook, answered
Yes, substantially. Zepixo's free plan includes ten seats and HoneyBook has no free plan — its cheapest is $29 a month billed yearly, for one person. Zepixo Pro is $9.90 a month. The larger difference is payment fees: HoneyBook charges 2.7% + 10¢ per card payment, and Zepixo charges nothing because the money goes through your own Stripe account.
Yes. HoneyBook processes payments itself and charges 2.7% + 10¢ for card transactions and 1.5% for ACH bank transfers, as listed on its pricing page. Zepixo connects your own Stripe account instead, so you pay Stripe's standard rate and nothing to Zepixo.
Scheduling and appointment booking, contracts with e-signature, lead capture forms, and a QuickBooks integration. If those are central to how you work, HoneyBook is the more complete product and the honest recommendation.
Zepixo includes ten seats on every plan, including the free one, with extra seats at $3 each per month. HoneyBook includes one team member on Starter, two on Essentials at $49 a month, and unlimited only on Premium at $109 a month.
