Looking for a HoneyBook, Dubsado, Bonsai, or 17hats alternative?
Scopivo runs proposals, contracts, invoices, booking, forms, and a branded client portal for solo freelancers and small studios. The same job those four tools do, with your own Stripe account, your own brand on every document, and one flat $19/mo price after a free first year. Below is an honest, side-by-side look at how Scopivo compares to each one.
Free for your first year. No credit card. Your own Stripe, your own branding.
Most people don't go looking for a new client tool because the old one broke. They switch because the price climbed past what a solo practice can justify, because payments route through a processor they didn't choose, or because a vendor's logo keeps showing up on documents they send to their own clients. Each comparison below is written the same way: where Scopivo is the better fit, where the other tool still wins, and a two-week migration plan so you're never switching a live project mid-flight.
Scopivo vs HoneyBook
Switch if HoneyBook's tiers gate the no-branding experience behind $49/mo and you'd rather keep payments in your own Stripe.

FAQ
- Is Scopivo cheaper than HoneyBook, Dubsado, Bonsai, and 17hats?
- For a solo freelancer, in most cases yes. Scopivo is free for your first year, then $19/mo (or $190/yr) with the full feature set unlocked, no per-user fees and no per-brand add-ons. The other tools price by tier, by user, or by brand, so the figure you pay depends on which plan unlocks the features you need. Each comparison page lists the verified plan prices side by side so you can check against your own usage.
- Can I migrate from Dubsado, Bonsai, or 17hats without losing data?
- Yes. Each tool lets you export contacts, projects, and invoices as CSV, and templates copy-paste cleanly into Scopivo (we support rich text and template variables like {{clientName}} and {{totalAmount}}). Every comparison page includes a two-week migration playbook: set Scopivo up in parallel, run new work through it first, and cancel the old tool only after your last invoice there clears.
- Does Scopivo do everything these tools do?
- It covers the core that most solo freelancers actually use: proposals, contracts, invoices, payment plans, booking, forms, time tracking, and a branded client portal. It's deliberately leaner. Scopivo is single-user today (multi-user is on the roadmap), so if you need shared team logins right now, the comparison pages say plainly where the other tool is still the better fit.
- Do I keep my own Stripe account and branding?
- Yes. Scopivo uses Stripe Connect, so clients pay your Stripe account, money lands in your bank, and Scopivo never sits in the payment path or takes a cut. Your proposals, contracts, invoices, and client portal carry only your brand, on every plan including Free.
