How much does Dubsado cost?

Dubsado is sold as two plans: Starter at $335 per year and Premier at $525 per year, with annual billing priced as ten months. Three additional users are included; beyond that, 4 to 10 users cost $25 per month, 11 to 20 cost $45 and 21 to 30 cost $60. Each additional brand is $10 per month.

What is the difference between the Starter and Premier plans?

Both plans include email integration, unlimited projects and clients, invoicing and payment plans, templates, client portals, calendar connection and the mobile app. Premier adds unlimited lead capture forms, automated workflows, advanced scheduling, public proposals, the time tracker, bookkeeping integration and Zapier.

Does Dubsado have time tracking?

Yes, on the Premier plan. The time tracker runs from anywhere in Dubsado and each entry is assigned a task description, a project, an hourly rate and the invoice it will be billed to, then applied to that invoice. Once applied, the hours are edited on the invoice itself rather than in the tracker.

Overview

Dubsado is a client management platform for service businesses, built around the sequence that runs from an enquiry to the last payment. A branded lead capture form starts a project; from there it covers questionnaires, proposals, legally binding contracts with signature tracking, invoices with payment plans, appointment scheduling, a branded client portal and a global time tracker. Workflows chain those steps so one completed action triggers the next. Payments run through Stripe, bookkeeping syncs to QuickBooks Online or Xero, and it is sold as two annual plans.

Our take

Dubsado sits where a project tool and an invoicing tool normally meet, and its argument is that the client never sees the seam: the branded form that captured the enquiry carries the proposal, the contract and the invoice under the same domain. That is worth most to a solo operator or a small studio whose admin is the bottleneck, and least to a team already running a separate CRM and accounting stack, because Dubsado expects to own that whole stretch rather than slot into it. Check the plan split before committing, since most of what makes the case (automated workflows, advanced scheduling, the time tracker and the Zapier connection) sits on Premier rather than Starter. Billing follows the account rather than the seat up to three extra users, which keeps a small team cheap and turns growth into a separate line to budget for.

Features

Time tracking: Yes, a global time tracker on the Premier plan. An entry carries a task description, a project, an hourly rate and the invoice it will be billed to, runs while you work elsewhere, and is applied to that invoice from the tracker or from within the invoice.
Project costing: Not offered as a costing module. Billable hours carry an hourly rate that feeds an invoice, and reporting covers revenue and profit margins, but the published feature list has no cost rates or budget-against-actual tracking.
Invoicing: Yes, branded invoices with payment plans, recurring billing, automatic reminders and gratuity options; payments by card and ACH through Dubsado Payments on Stripe, in 135+ currencies with buy-now-pay-later and instant payouts
Resource planning: No. The published feature list runs from lead capture and scheduling through proposals, contracts, invoices, workflows, the client portal and reporting, without capacity or resource planning.
Reporting and controlling: Yes, dashboards covering month-to-month growth, profit margins, payment history and revenue patterns, plus lead conversion, project status and pipeline health
Integrations and API: No developer API is published. Zapier connects thousands of apps on the Premier plan, alongside native integrations for Gmail, Microsoft 365, Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.

How we check reviews

Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.

Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.

What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.

A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
