Sealed vs HoneyBook
HoneyBook bundles a full automation builder, scheduling, and lead capture into every plan — starting at $36/mo before card fees. Sealed does the four things that get a deal from proposal to paid: propose, sign, invoice, get paid — enforced, in that order, for free.
| Sealed | HoneyBook | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | Free | $36/mo (Starter), billed monthly |
| Free tier (not just a trial) | ||
| Send a proposal client can accept via link | ||
| E-signed agreements | ||
| Invoicing with a card payment link | ||
| Enforced order (can't invoice an unsigned contract) | ||
| Automation/workflow builder for onboarding sequences | ||
| Card payment fees | Standard Stripe rate | 2.9% + 25¢ on every plan |

HoneyBook is the better fit if...
- You want lead capture forms, scheduling, and automated follow-up sequences in the same tool as your proposals.
- You're comfortable paying a monthly fee plus card processing fees from day one.
- You have the time to build out automations and want them to run your onboarding end to end.
Sealed is the better fit if...
- You want proposal → signed agreement → paid invoice working today, not after building automations.
- You want the chain enforced — you can't accidentally invoice before a contract is signed.
- You want to start free and see if it fits before paying a monthly fee on top of card processing costs.
