// 01 · The problem

HoneyBook does a lot. Quoting isn't its strength.

All-in-one platforms spread thin. QuotePilot goes deep on the quoting workflow.

Quoting is still manual

HoneyBook has no AI. You build every proposal line by line, pick items one at a time, and format it yourself. QuotePilot drafts a complete, accurate quote from a single sentence.

Edits disappear forever

Change a quote in HoneyBook and the old version is gone. QuotePilot snapshots every revision as a PDF — compare versions, restore old ones, or send any revision to your client.

Your past work doesn't help your next quote

HoneyBook treats every proposal as a blank slate. QuotePilot learns from your quoting history — reusing line items, pricing patterns, and client context to draft smarter quotes over time.

// 03 · The quoting workflow

Every feature exists to get quotes out faster

QuotePilot does less than HoneyBook. What it does, it does deeper.

AI drafting from your price lists

Paste a client email. The AI matches items from your saved price lists, calculates quantities and totals, and drafts a complete quote in 30 seconds.

Smart price lists with memory

Upload a CSV, PDF, or photo of your rate sheet. AI extracts and organizes it. Every future quote pulls from your saved pricing automatically.

Full version history

Every edit creates a timestamped PDF snapshot. Compare revisions side by side, restore old versions, or send any past revision to your client.

Knowledge that compounds

QuotePilot learns from every quote you send — reusing line items, client preferences, and pricing patterns. Your 50th quote is faster than your 5th.

Deposit splits with edit protection

Split into deposit and balance. Once a client accepts and pays the deposit, line items lock — nothing changes between signing and final payment.

Chat-based editing

Say 'change the senior rate to $250/hr' or 'add a 10% discount.' Edit quotes through conversation instead of clicking through form fields.

Frequently asked questions

Is QuotePilot a full HoneyBook replacement?+
No — and we don't try to be. HoneyBook is a full business management platform with CRM, contracts, scheduling, and automations. QuotePilot focuses on one thing: getting a professional quote out fast and collecting payment. If proposals and payments are 90% of what you use HoneyBook for, QuotePilot does that better and cheaper. If you rely on HoneyBook's CRM or workflow automations, you'll still need those tools.
Can I import my data from HoneyBook?+
There's no direct import, but setup is fast. Upload your rate sheet (PDF, CSV, or image) and QuotePilot's AI extracts and organizes your pricing in seconds. Most planners are sending their first quote within 10 minutes.
How does AI quote drafting work?+
Paste a client email, type a rough scope, or describe the event in plain language. The AI matches items from your saved price lists, calculates quantities and totals, and produces a complete, professional quote — all in about 30 seconds.
What does QuotePilot cost compared to HoneyBook?+
QuotePilot Pro is $29/month — flat, no tiers, no surprise increases. Every new account gets a 14-day free trial of Pro. See the full pricing breakdown. After that, there's a free Starter plan with up to 5 quotes per month.
Can my clients still accept quotes online?+
Yes. Clients receive a tracking link where they can view the quote, accept with a digital signature, or decline with a message. No login required on their end.
Does QuotePilot handle payments?+
Yes. QuotePilot integrates with Stripe for deposit collection and balance payments. You can split quotes into deposit and remaining balance, and clients pay securely online.
