They suit different designers. HoneyBook lets clients book, sign and pay from one file, from $36 a month billed monthly. Dubsado is made for creative service businesses, from $35 a month billed monthly, plus $10 a month per extra brand. Bonsai charges per person; proposals and contracts start at $25 a month billed monthly. Prices checked October 18, 2026, on each company's pricing page.

Aventide is $39 a month with every feature, unlimited team members and every brand or business you run included. A two-brand studio with one contractor pays $39 on Aventide. On Dubsado the same two brands are $45 on Starter, which leaves out scheduling, or $65 on Premier, with the contractor among the three users it includes; on Bonsai each company is its own paid account and every team member is a paid seat (checked October 18, 2026). Clients pay through your own Stripe account, so Aventide takes 0%.

We make Aventide, so weigh our take accordingly.
