This is not an isolated incident. SaaS prices increase an average of 11.4% annually — five times general inflation. HoneyBook users have seen repeated price hikes, feature paywalls, and forced migrations. The pattern is always the same: get users dependent on the platform, then extract more money. You never own anything. Stop paying, lose access to everything you built inside the tool.
This event is actively impacting users right now. If you are affected, Helix offers a $279 one-time alternative with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

And HoneyBook still does not include: US and Canada only, Limited for product-based businesses, No inventory management. You would pay additional subscriptions for those — on top of the price increase.
HoneyBook at $39/month is $468/year. With 11.4% annual inflation, that becomes $1,572 over 3 years and $2,775 over 5 years. Every price increase makes the gap wider. Every new "premium tier" moves features you already had behind a higher paywall.
Helix is $279 once. The price today is the price forever. No annual increases. No feature paywalls. No "we are updating our pricing" emails. You own it.
You do not have to keep paying more every year for tools you do not own. Helix includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full QuickBooks-style accounting for $279 one-time. Export your data from HoneyBook, import into Helix, and run both in parallel until you are confident. The 30-day money-back guarantee means zero risk.
Every month you stay on HoneyBook is another month of paying a price that only goes up. The break-even math is simple: at $39/month, Helix pays for itself in 8 months. After that, you keep every dollar they would have charged.
