Dubsado & HoneyBook price-hike rescue

Your CRM just got 75–89% more expensive. Your invoices don't need to.

Dubsado's Starter plan jumped 75% in December 2025. HoneyBook raised Starter prices 89% in February 2025. I fix the actual cost problem — reconfigure your existing account to cut card fees with ACH, or migrate your contracts, workflows, and payment forms to something cheaper. Fixed price, done in days.

Three ways to fix this

Pick the level of change you actually want

Some photographers just need the fee leak plugged. Some want out of Dubsado or HoneyBook entirely. Both are a normal, well-defined job — not a research project.

01

Fee-cut audit

A full read of your current setup: what you're actually paying in plan fees and card-processing fees, and exactly what changes would cut it.

  • Line-by-line fee breakdown (plan + processing)
  • ACH feasibility check on your account/state
  • Workflow & contract review for fee leaks
  • Written action-plan report, yours to keep
02

ACH & fee rescue

I turn on and configure ACH on your existing Dubsado or HoneyBook account, and rebuild your payment flow so clients actually choose it.

  • ACH enabled & tested on your account
  • Invoices/proposals defaulted to ACH-first
  • Payment plan templates rebuilt
  • Client-facing copy that nudges off cards
03

Full switch & migration

Complete move from HoneyBook/Dubsado to a lower-cost alternative — or the reverse — contracts, questionnaires, workflows, and payments rebuilt from scratch.

  • Contracts & questionnaires rebuilt
  • Workflows/automations recreated
  • Payment forms rebuilt with ACH on
  • One live test run before handoff
Do the math on your own numbers

What is card processing actually costing you?

Rough estimate using typical card (2.9% + $0.30/txn) vs. ACH (~1%, often capped) processing rates. Your exact number depends on your processor — the audit tier confirms it precisely.

Estimate only, for illustration — not a quote. Actual savings depend on your processor's real rates, which the Fee-Cut Audit confirms exactly.

Judge the work, not a résumé

A complete, real sample audit

This is a new practice — so instead of asking you to trust a client list, here's the actual Fee-Cut Audit deliverable, done for a fictional photography studio to the exact standard a paying client receives.

How it runs

Process

  1. Share account access or a screen-share

    A view-only login or a 20-minute screen-share of your current Dubsado/HoneyBook setup — no need to export anything yourself.

  2. I map the real cost and the fix

    Every fee is traced to its source: plan tier, processor rate, and which invoices are bleeding card fees.

  3. Changes get made or handed to you

    For Rescue/Migration tiers I make the changes directly in your account; for the Audit you get the plan to do it yourself or hand to anyone.

  4. One test invoice before you're live

    A real test payment run-through so ACH actually works the first time a client sees it.

Honest note on where I'm at: this is a new practice — the sample audit above is the actual standard of work, not marketing copy. No fabricated client list or reviews here; judge the sample directly.
