vsHBPunctual vs HoneyBook
HoneyBook is a nice client-flow tool for US creatives, with proposals, contracts, and payments. Punctual is real books and billing for agencies, and it works where HoneyBook doesn't.
The short version
Choose Punctual if you want real accounting and you're outside the US. Choose HoneyBook if you're a US creative who mainly needs proposals and a booking flow. HoneyBook is only sold in the US and Canada.

The pain of getting this wrong
A pretty client flow with no books underneath means you still need a second tool for the money. That's two subscriptions and a gap between them.
