Build a like-for-like quote
For creative professionals, consultants, event businesses, and other project-based service providers, a useful budget follows the work you actually perform. Ask each provider to price the same staff count, payment channel and required customer tasks. Include the integrations needed for the complete setup, and keep one-time migration work separate from recurring monthly charges.
- Do proposals and negotiated project contracts drive most bookings?
- Which plan includes the Scheduler, automation, and team access you need?
- Is the repeat-service requirement an invoice schedule or a redeemable visit balance?
Put the KadePay side in the same budget
Choose the applicable KadePay plan and read the complete pricing table. Distinguish terminal and manually entered card rates, appointment usage, session or ticket charges and optional payment methods. Recurring billing and multiple users depend on the plan. Do not compare a card-present rate on one side with an online or manual-entry rate on the other.
If HoneyBook connects to a separate processor, include that processor in its budget. If KadePay uses a processor for your payment setup, include the applicable full payment charges and avoid counting the same charge twice. A software subscription and a transaction processing charge describe different costs.

Compare your own quotes
Enter current quotes for the same payment channel, country and card mix. The example volume is editable; fee fields are deliberately blank. For interchange-plus pricing, use a blended effective rate including interchange, not only the processor markup.
Enter both sets of rates to calculate.
A simple flat-rate worksheet, not an official quote. Excludes taxes, hardware purchases, refunds, disputes, cross-border/currency charges and tiered rate calculations. Add relevant software and usage charges yourself; different fee bases need a separate calculation. Your inputs stay in this page and are not saved.
Before you accept a quote
HoneyBook processes its card and ACH payments; external methods can be marked paid manually.
