That's $1,570 gone. And you don't own anything. Stop paying, lose access.
You're not the only one who's had enough.
Sound System Rental Operators face unique challenges: Tracking which gear is out, returned, and needs maintenance. Equipment depreciation on $50K+ of gear. Damage waivers and deposits management. Seasonal demand peaks (wedding season, festivals). On top of all that, HoneyBook charges $39/month ($468/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median sound system rental operator earns $42,000/year. Software at $468/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your PA systems (various sizes) is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
HoneyBook is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
