Dubsado Overview

Dubsado is a client management system for service businesses such as photographers, designers, planners, coaches and consultants. It covers the client journey from enquiry to final payment, including lead forms, proposals, contracts, invoices, payment plans, scheduling and a client portal.

Who Uses Dubsado and Why

  • Capturing enquiries from a website form
  • Sending proposals and contracts for e-signature
  • Billing with payment plans and automatic reminders
  • Letting clients book calls through a scheduler
  • Giving clients one portal for documents and invoices

How Teams Use Dubsado Day to Day

A new lead fills out a form and lands in your projects. You send a proposal or contract, and once it’s signed, an invoice or payment plan follows. On Premier, workflows automate the sequence, for example sending a welcome questionnaire after payment and a reminder before the first session. Clients see everything in their portal, branded for your business.

Setting Up Dubsado Efficiently

Dubsado is flexible, which means setup takes a few days. Map your client journey first, from enquiry to wrap-up, then build forms, templates and workflows to match. Start with one service package, test it with a friend acting as the client, and add more once it works.

Our Recommendation

Dubsado suits creative and service businesses that want a polished client experience and automation. Freelancers who also need time tracking and project tasks should compare Bonsai, and productised agencies can look at ManyRequests.
