HoneyBook is a CRM tool built for all kinds of SMBs in US & Canada. Some of the areas where HoneyBook’s features help are - invoicing, time tracking, payments, and automated workflows.
However, it becomes very clear at the onset that this is a tool for creative service providers (built originally for wedding planners). While providing a detailed “customer pipeline” way of managing clients, it misses out on a variety of features required in a coaching practice because it hasn’t been built for coaches.
Simply.Coach on the other hand is an end-to-end coaching management platform, built by coaches, for coaches! It's a great HoneyBook alternative for those who are looking for a coaching-centric platform!

And that’s not just us saying that; here's what our customers think of us:
"Simply.Coach has quality built within it. It has security built within it. It has confidence built within it. It has ethics built within it. It has a flow that is understandable that is built within it and it has an administration process that doesn't feel like a burden. It is based on interpersonal relationship connectivity, it is based on the flow of growth and personal development. It far outweighs anything that I have ever seen. You have touched the DNA of coaching through this application."

“Simply.Coach has been very useful in helping me get my coaching business started with my first client. It is accessible, fairly easy to use, cost-effective, has a lot of abilities, and is constantly improving. The staff is friendly and helpful and always available to assist with a problem. They also will provide great training on the system when you come on board. Working with Simply.Coach has been really good and I anticipate using it for the foreseeable future as my business grows."

"Simply.Coach supports me, organises my coaching engagements, makes me look professional in front of my clients and supports my clients to keep a track of the progress. It's a must-do for every coach!"

"I loved the Simply.Coach interface. Ram and Chirag explained the different amazing features your product has! Really impressed with the simple but rich design."

"Simply.Coach is a single place to manage your coaching client relationships and stay focused on what will be most helpful to each client. You don't have to wonder where you took those coaching notes in your previous session with a client, or where you kept track of their committed actions. You can even automate nudges to remind clients to do what they committed to."

Josh Alwitt Leadership
"Simply.Coach is user friendly, easy to set up, and feature-rich. It helps me manage all my engagements in one place - so much easier than excel docs and email. I am enjoying the platform and support is always quick and extremely helpful."

CoachFluence
"A great tool to equip yourself with! Simply.Coach's response to queries and issues has been super quick. It helps in keeping track of the entire coaching engagement in one place and keeping coach-coachee aligned on where we are in the engagement."

Value Unlocked
"Game changer - I like that the tool is simple enough to intuitively get a hold of the functionality, while capturing all the things that are critical for a coaching business."
