As easy as sending a link. You decide what it takes to book you: a contract, a deposit, packages, your own brand. Without paying for a CRM.

Review & sign
Hard booked.
The moment your terms are met, a maybe turns into a .
You already own a calendar and a contract. They don’t talk to each other.
Scheduling lives in one tool, signing in another, and the handoff between them is unguarded. So a date sits held but unsigned — which is the one state where it can still slip away.
Neither one keeps you from losing the deal .
Here’s the rest.
Each part is a switch. Turn on what the job needs, and leave the rest off.
The portal looks like you
Your logo, your brand, your reel. Clients only ever see you — Hardbook stays invisible.
Held, or hard booked
Every date is either pencilled or hard booked. If two clients want the same day, the first to hard book keeps it.
A deposit, the moment they sign
Take a deposit at signing — through your own Stripe, straight to you. Booked means the money's actually down.
You're not a lawyer. Good— you don't have to be.
Your contract isn't a separate document — it's part of the job. Book the work and it fills itself: client, dates, day-count, total, never typed twice. Your client signs it right there. Build it with simple tags, or hand it to the AI that knows them. Change any clause, it's yours — and the tax is worked in, so the number they sign is the number you keep.

Set it up once. After that, it's just a link.
No migration, no onboarding call. Three steps you do one time — then the same link works forever.

Set up your portal
Set your rate, connect Google Calendar, and write your contract template. Add your logo and background. Ten minutes, one time.
One link — paste it or embed it
Paste hard-book.com/you into an email, a bio, or a DM — or embed a live booking calendar straight onto your own site. The client opens it with no account.


They book on your terms
Dates picked, then whatever you asked for: the contract signed, the deposit paid through your Stripe. The booking lands on your calendar.
For your client, it’s just a .
No app to install, no account to make, nothing to learn. They tap the link, pick dates, and do what you asked for — sign, pay, answer a few questions. That’s the whole thing. And Hardbook remembers them, so the next booking is even shorter.
Free means the whole booking.
Contracts, deposits, packages, questions, reminders. No limit on bookings. You only pay to make the page more yours.
Pro, $19 a month: no Hardbook line, your own motion, full analytics and 30 AI contract drafts a month.
The questions a skeptic asks.
Hardbook is online booking software. You send one link. Your client picks a time, then does what you asked for before the booking is confirmed: sign your contract, pay a deposit, answer your questions, pick a package. The whole booking is on the free plan.
Anyone who sells their time and needs more than a calendar link: wedding photographers and videographers, film and video crew, editors, DJs, tattoo artists, and the studios they grow into.
The free plan has no limit on bookings and includes contracts, deposits, packages, booking questions, reminders and Google Calendar sync. Pro is $19 a month or $190 a year. It removes the "Powered by Hardbook" line and adds your own motion, full analytics and 30 AI contract drafts a month (the free plan has 2 in total). Hardbook adds no fee to deposits; Stripe charges its usual processing fee.
Calendly books meetings in time slots. Hardbook books paid work: your client can sign your contract inside the booking, a date can be held before it is confirmed, and one booking can cover one day or several. Calendly has no contract signing, and its payments start on the $10 Standard plan. If you mostly book calls, Calendly is the better tool.
HoneyBook is a full CRM: proposals, invoices, pipelines and bookkeeping, from $29 a month with no free plan. Hardbook does the booking part: dates, contract, deposit and packages, and the free plan covers all of it. If you need the whole CRM, HoneyBook is the better tool.
No. It opens as a link in any browser, on a phone or a laptop. No account, no app, and no charge to them. Ever.
Your own. Use one contract for every booking, or an MSA for new clients and an SOW for repeat ones, and Hardbook picks the right one. Or switch the contract off for jobs that don't need one.
If your booking asks for a signature, there is no booking until they sign, and your calendar stays open. You don't lose a date to a deal that never actually closed.
Yes. Signature, audit trail and timestamps, with the same standing as any e-signature platform. The booking is backed by a real, enforceable agreement.
Yes. Connect your Google Calendar, and confirmed bookings appear on it.
Yes. Monthly or yearly, no lock-in tricks and no cancellation maze. Leave whenever it stops being useful.
Open a portal, send the link to a real client, and see how it .
