Dubsado is a client management and CRM platform for creative service businesses and freelancers.
Founded
2015Dubsado is a client management and CRM platform for creative service businesses and freelancers.
Dubsado is a cloud-based client management platform built for service-based small businesses, particularly those in creative industries. It unifies proposals, contracts with e-signatures, invoicing and payments, scheduling, automated workflows, and branded client portals within a single system.
A full platform redesign marketed as Dubsado 3.0 launched in late 2025, introducing a unified design system and a rebuilt feature set. The platform is sold through recurring Starter and Premier subscription tiers.
The freelance and independent service-business sector that Dubsado serves has continued to expand, with growing numbers of professionals launching service-based businesses and seeking tools to manage client operations and administrative work at scale.
Dubsado operates in a competitive category alongside HoneyBook, 17hats, Bonsai, and Moxie, all of which target freelancers and small creative service businesses with integrated client-management and business-operations workflows.
Dubsado differentiates through deep workflow customization, allowing each business to configure its own client process rather than fitting a fixed template. Documents and client portals can be fully white-labeled with the user's own brand and custom domain.
The platform was built by creative service business owners for their own use case, which informs its feature priorities. Its closest direct competitors are HoneyBook, 17hats, Moxie, and Bonsai, which target similar freelancer and small service audiences.
Dubsado's extensive customization options mean there is more to configure than with simpler client-management tools, requiring a greater upfront investment of time to set up workflows, templates, and branded documents.
The platform is purpose-built for independent service providers and small teams rather than enterprise organizations, B2B sales pipelines, or physical-product businesses, which limits its relevance outside the creative and small service-business segment it targets.
Dubsado is sold as a recurring subscription with two tiers: a Starter plan at $35 per month and a Premier plan at $55 per month, with discounted annual pricing of $335 and $525 respectively. A 21-day free trial grants full access to the Premier plan.
Additional brands can be added at $10 per month, and multi-user accounts use tiered per-seat pricing that scales with team size. The revenue model is recurring SaaS subscription rather than usage-based or transaction-fee pricing.
