Frequently asked questions
Which feels more built for photographers specifically?
HoneyBook's positioning and templates lean closer to creative businesses; neither is built exclusively around photography workflows the way a photography-first CRM is.
Does either include client galleries?
No — both stop at contracts, invoicing and scheduling. A photographer using either still needs a separate platform to deliver and sell photos.
Which has simpler contracts and invoicing?
HoneyBook's smart-file format bundles a proposal, contract and invoice into one client-facing document; 17hats keeps these as more separate, generic small-business tools.
Is 17hats cheaper overall?
Pricing varies by plan and promotion on both sides — check each provider's current tiers rather than assuming either is fixed cheaper.
