HoneyBook alternative
A HoneyBook alternative for wedding planners.
HoneyBook is a client and payments tool for many kinds of small businesses. Its pages don't list a guest list, seating chart or rooms. Kruspin is built for the wedding itself, and works next to HoneyBook.
The short answer
Choose by the work you do most.
Kruspin fits if you
- plan weddings with guest lists, tables and overnight stays
- send each vendor their own version of the day
- want the couple adding guests in the same wedding you plan
- are happy to keep contracts and payments in HoneyBook
Not built for proposals, contracts, invoices or payments
HoneyBook fits if you
- run a service business that books clients and takes payments
- want proposals, contracts, invoices and automations in one place
- want a phone app and QuickBooks or Zapier connections
- want AI to draft emails and recap meetings

How we checked
We read each company's public homepage, feature, pricing and help pages on November 3, 2026. “Not listed” means we didn't find the feature there, not that it's missing from the product. Features change, so check their sites too. If you work at one of these companies and something here is wrong or out of date, write to [email protected] and we'll correct it.

Day to day
What you stop doing by hand.
01Guests and RSVP
One RSVP updates the seating chart and the kitchen count.
The answer, the meal choice and any allergy are saved on the guest. At the table you see who still hasn't replied, and the caterer's counts come from the same record.
02Rooms
Rooms assigned night by night.
Friday arrivals and Saturday stays are planned separately. The front desk gets an alphabetical list with every guest's room for each night, including who changes rooms.
03Vendors
Every vendor gets their own version of the day.
The DJ's copy has the shared schedule plus the DJ's own cues. Servers get the table map with seat numbers and each guest's meal. Send it as a PDF or a link.
04The couple
The couple adds guests and asks questions in the wedding you plan.
Each question sits next to the item it's about. Your internal threads and tasks stay with your team.
Start with your next booked wedding
Finish the weddings already in progress where they are. The two tools don't sync.
Upload the guest list
Export it as CSV or Excel, upload it and match the columns in the preview.
Invite the couple when you're ready
They add guests and responses themselves.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about switching from HoneyBook.
Didn't find your answer? Write to us through support.
Can I use Kruspin next to HoneyBook?
Yes, and many planners would. HoneyBook keeps proposals, contracts and payments; Kruspin holds the wedding: guests, seating, rooms, the timeline and vendor documents. The two don't sync, so a booked couple is added to Kruspin by hand.
Does Kruspin handle contracts and payments?
No. Kruspin tracks the budget, vendor deposits and a payment plan, but it doesn't send contracts for e-signature, issue invoices or take card payments. Keep the tool you use for that today.
Can I bring guest lists from HoneyBook?
Yes, if your current tool or spreadsheet exports them. Upload a CSV or XLSX file, or paste rows, and match the columns in the preview. It's a one-time import; nothing syncs back.
Can my couples log in?
Yes. Invite them by email when you want them to add guests and responses themselves. They work in the same wedding, without your internal threads and tasks, and they can see the budget but not change prices or payments.
What happens after I create an account?
Your account opens with a sample wedding that already has guests, a seating chart, rooms and vendor documents, so you can try things before you set up your own.
