Booking software for illustrators
Most booking tools miss the workflows illustrators actually need. Here is what a commission-first system should cover, and how Studio Haven Pro prices it.
The problem with generic scheduling
Commission work is a negotiation, not a time slot. You need to quote scope, take a deposit, agree a revision count, and deliver files. Calendar tools model none of that, so the work happens in DMs and invoices.
What illustrators get
- Commission inquiries with an approve-then-quote flow instead of instant booking
- Revision limits agreed up front and tracked against the project
- Deposit on acceptance through Stripe Connect, balance on delivery
- Portfolio pages that sell the work rather than a booking link
- File delivery to the client portal when the piece is finished
- Custom quotes for scope that does not fit a fixed price
What it costs
Studio Haven Pro is CA$15/month in Canada, or US$15/month in the United States and Europe. Draft setup is free; a 14-day trial starts when you go live. While Pro is active, clients do not pay a Studio Haven platform fee at checkout, and deposits settle into your own Stripe or Square account. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Try it before you move anything
Open the live demo studio and book against it as a client, deposit included, without creating an account. When it looks right, create your store and move your work across at your own pace. More comparisons are in the guides index.
