Honest Comparison
AuraSync vs Dubsado & HoneyBook
Dubsado and HoneyBook are established, capable platforms — plenty of agencies run on them happily. We won't invent their prices or misstate their features here; those change, and you should read them on the vendors' own sites. What we can state precisely is what AuraSync does differently, because that's ours to prove:
What it is
AuraSync: Client portal + delivery automation OS: intake, agreements, invoicing, and file delivery in one window
Dubsado / HoneyBook: Established client-management platforms with their own portals, workflows, and payment handling — check each vendor's current site for their exact feature set
Where client payments land
AuraSync: Your own connected Stripe account — AuraSync takes 0% of your client payments (Stripe's standard processing fees apply)
Dubsado / HoneyBook: Handled under each platform's own payment terms — verify current fees and payout routing on their pricing pages before you commit
File delivery
AuraSync: Pay-to-unlock vault: final files unlock automatically when the final milestone is paid; downloads via short-lived signed URLs
Dubsado / HoneyBook: File sharing is offered in different forms by each platform; an automatic pay-to-unlock delivery gate is the specific mechanic to ask about
Agreements
AuraSync: Audit-Trailed Digital Agreements (IP & Timestamp Verified) built into the portal
Dubsado / HoneyBook: Contracts/e-sign are core features of both platforms — compare audit-trail detail on their sites
AuraSync price
AuraSync: $49/mo or $390/yr for Core OS, unlimited active client portals, 30-Day First-Month Money-Back Guarantee
Dubsado / HoneyBook: Competitor pricing changes over time and is intentionally not quoted here — see Dubsado and HoneyBook directly for current plans
The short version: if the mechanic you care about is delivery that unlocks itself when the client pays, with the money landing in your own Stripe at 0% platform fee, that is exactly what AuraSync was built to do. Try it under the 30-Day First-Month Money-Back Guarantee.
