Dubsado is a client management system for service businesses that want to capture leads, send contracts and invoices, onboard clients and close projects from one account. Client portals are included on both plans and give each client a dedicated place to access their project. The Starter plan costs $335 a year and covers email integration, unlimited projects and clients, invoicing and payment plans, form and email templates, client portals, calendar connection and a mobile app, with 1 active lead capture form. Premier at $525 a year adds scheduling, automated workflows, public proposals, bookkeeping integration and Zapier. Pricing is friendly to small teams: 3 additional users are free, and 4 to 10 users cost $25 a month. Separate brands cost $10 a month each. The downside is that the automation that makes Dubsado popular sits on Premier, and building workflows takes time before clients see a polished experience.
