A HoneyBook Alternative for Service Businesses, Priced in CAD

One CAD-priced workspace for CRM, email sequences, scheduling and ad campaigns — with an approval step before anything reaches a client.

Why look beyond HoneyBook

If you run a service business in Canada, you probably looked at HoneyBook first. It is a capable client-management tool. What trips people up is usually two things: the bill lands in US dollars, and the marketing — ads, follow-up, the work that actually fills the calendar — lives in other apps you pay for separately. Unica OS Hub is built for the same kind of work — contacts, scheduling, proposals, follow-up — but it is priced in Canadian dollars and it keeps the marketing inside the same workspace, with an approval step before anything goes out.

Who this is built for

Service businesses that quote, book and follow up: small agencies, videographers, photographers, coaches, consultants, and the music studios and educators in our creators section. If your week is a loop of new enquiry, reply, book, show up, follow up, invoice, this is the shape of work Unica OS Hub is designed around. It is not built for large enterprises, and it is not a replacement for a full accounting suite.

What you get in one workspace

CRM — one contact per person, with a pipeline so you can see what stage each job is in.
Email sequences — confirmations, reminders and follow-ups, drafted for you and held for approval.
Scheduling — clients book against your calendar, and the booking updates the contact's record.
Automation — repeat the steps that repeat, without pasting between tools.
Ad tools (Pro Lab) — drafted campaigns for Meta, Google, TikTok and Reddit, reviewed before they go live. Third-party ad connections may need setup and can carry separate charges from those platforms.
An approval flow — nothing customer-facing or that spends money goes out until you say yes.

Pricing in Canadian dollars

All plans are billed monthly in CAD and cancel anytime, with a 14-day money-back guarantee: Creator at CAD $2/month, Pro Lab at CAD $10/month and Elite at CAD $49/month.

Who might prefer something else

If you need full bookkeeping and tax filing, pair Unica OS Hub with an accounting tool — it is not a finance system. If you want a tool that publishes ads and sends client messages without you checking them first, this is the wrong product: the approval step is the point. And for the specifics of how HoneyBook is priced and what it includes today, check HoneyBook's own site — we won't make claims about another product's numbers here.

A 4-step way to evaluate any switch

List the five jobs you actually do each week. (For most service businesses: capture, quote, book, deliver, follow up.)
Mark which ones you want to keep doing yourself and which you would hand to a system.
Check the price in the currency you actually pay bills in, and the cancel terms.
Try one real client through it end to end before you migrate anything.

Getting started

Start by naming a goal in plain words — fill next month with three new clients — and let the workspace plan the steps, draft the follow-up, and hold each send and spend for your approval. You stay the owner; the system does the fetching. When you are ready, start here.
