Comparison
HoneyBook vs Dubsado
HoneyBook and Dubsado are the two default CRMs for wedding planners — but HoneyBook only accepts businesses based in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia, and Dubsado bills in USD with per-brand and per-user add-ons as you grow. Both manage one studio's back office; neither operates the marketplace itself. Bodas.com is built as that platform: couples and vendors share one workspace with live quotes, contracts and planning in the same state.

Head-to-head
| Bodas | HoneyBook & Dubsado | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability from Spain | Built for the Spanish-speaking market from day one: bilingual couples and vendors, EUR, Spanish-market vendor network | HoneyBook: businesses must be based in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia — Spain sits in its own "we're not in your country yet" flow (verified September 2026). Dubsado: works from Spain, but bills in USD |
| Pricing model | One platform quote — the workspace, live quotes and vendor CRM are a single product, not a maze of seats and brands | HoneyBook: $29/$49/$109 per month on annual billing + card fees from 2.7% + 10¢. Dubsado: $35/$55 per month ($335/$525 billed yearly), +$10/brand and $25–60/user beyond 3 users |
| Who lives in the tool | Couples and vendors share one state — discovery, live quotes, contracts and planning happen in the same workspace | Your studio's back office: client records, invoices, scheduling. The couple only sees what you send — brochures, portals and payment links |
| Workflow automation | Marketplace flows are native: quote → contract → timeline move through the same state without building automations yourself | Dubsado's strength — workflows, forms and templated emails, if you invest the setup patience. HoneyBook is simpler and faster but less flexible |
| Language & market fit | Native Spanish and English, EUR-first, contracts and flows designed for the Spanish wedding market | English-first tools: templates, support and communities in English; invoices and taxes built for US/UK/AU norms, not Spanish ones |
| Best for | Wedding businesses where the platform itself is the product — marketplaces, multi-vendor studios, bilingual couples | Solo planners and small studios that fit the mold: Dubsado if you automate, HoneyBook if you want polish — provided you are in a supported country |
Verdict
HoneyBook vs Dubsado is the right question only if your business is based in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia — HoneyBook won't even onboard a Spain-based business (verified September 2026). If you are supported, the split is simple: Dubsado for automation depth at $35–55/month, HoneyBook for client-facing polish at $29/month. If you are building a wedding business in Spain or LatAm where the marketplace itself is the product — live vendor quotes, bilingual couples, one shared workspace — that is exactly what Bodas.com was built to be.
When to choose HoneyBook & Dubsado
Take Dubsado if you are outside HoneyBook's four countries but want an off-the-shelf CRM today: $35/month Starter, a 21-day full-featured trial with no card required, and deep automation if you invest the setup time — mind the per-brand ($10/month) and per-user ($25–60/month beyond 3) add-ons as you grow. Take HoneyBook if you are US/CA/UK/AU-based and want the fastest polished client experience at $29/month on annual billing. Both assume you already have your clients and vendors; neither runs a marketplace.
FAQ
What operators ask before they sign.
Can I use HoneyBook in Spain?
Not today. HoneyBook only supports businesses based in the United States, Canada, the UK or Australia; on its own site Spain appears in the "we're not in your country yet" flow (checked September 2026). Dubsado does work from Spain — $35/month Starter or $55/month Premier, billed in USD with a 21-day trial that needs no card. If you serve Spanish-speaking couples, a platform built for that market like Bodas.com removes the gap entirely.
HoneyBook vs Dubsado — which is better for wedding planners?
HoneyBook wins on client-facing polish and speed to set up; Dubsado wins on workflow automation and flexible forms if you have the patience to configure it. A common pattern is starting on HoneyBook for fast onboarding and moving to Dubsado once your processes are stable — but only HoneyBook-eligible countries can make that choice, and Dubsado's per-brand and per-user fees kick in as you grow.
How much do HoneyBook and Dubsado cost in 2026?
Verified against vendor pricing pages (September 2026): HoneyBook runs $29/month Starter, $49 Essentials and $109 Premium on annual billing, with card processing from 2.7% + 10¢ per transaction. Dubsado charges $35/month Starter or $55/month Premier — $335/$525 billed yearly — with a 21-day free trial without a card, plus $10/month per extra brand and $25–60/month per user beyond 3 users.
