It was pretty straight forward to use. And I like how seamless everything is Cons I’m not a design person when it comes to filling out forms, so that was different to me and was harder for me to set up for myself Review Source Sydney L. Advertiser Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Dubsado helps me manage my business " January 5, 2026 5.0 Pros Dubsado is a great CRM that makes it easy to track projects and invoices, put together proposals and packages, and has automated workflows to help onboard seamlessly. Cons It does have a bit of a learning curve, and it does take a bit of leg work to get everything set up the way you need it. Review Source R Reviewer Owner, Video Editor, Content Producer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Get your business system in place with Dubsado" November 11, 2025 4.0 Good. It keeps all my client work data in one place especially helpful around tax time. I can even setup a client portal where my client can see invoices, other relevant docs (like contracts), and even conversations. Sharing contracts and invoices is easy to manage and I like that I have some branding or customization availability - it's not perfect but it works. It does have a free subscription which allows 3 clients and that's a good place to start. Pros It has a lot of features that are useful for business users. For the most part, it's a user friendly software and if you take the time to learn the ins and outs can really make a difference in how you manage your business and clients. The cost for the software isn't too high and I do think it's affordable especially if you consider the features however, I would like to see a $15/m subscription that allows you to have a few more customers on your roster. Cons Some of the features are clunky like scheduling, form design, and adding multiple links or buttons. There is a learning curving it's not extensive but if you have never worked in or with a CRM or a Project Mangement tool you do need to spend time learning how to make the most of templates (make sure they right for your systems), workflows/automations, and setting up your dashboard. It works much better as a CRM than a project management tool. Review Source R Reviewer Productivity Coach Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dubsado is an excellent CRM!" December 7, 2022 5.0 Overall I love Dubsado. I wish the setup had been a bit more intuitive. I've made peace with not utilizing all of the features and will maybe get them set up one day. There are people you can pay to set up your Dubsado account that are certified by Dubsado. Pros I love the ability to customize everything sent out to clients allowing me to stay on brand. I also love that my clients find it easy to schedule and pay invoices. Very intuitive on the client side. Cons Dubsado is a major endeavor for setup. 2+ years later, I still have features I'm not using to the best of their ability. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dubsado - the best of a bad bunch." August 2, 2022 3.0 After having constant frustrations and needing to constantly create work arounds, we decided to not use dubsado long term. It's a great product, but was not a good fit for our business due to a few specific requirements, especially around tax, invoicing, and pricing or payment options. Like i've said, it's a very powerful software, but is not always the right fit for every business. Hire a professional, think through your processes, and see if it will work for you. They have a great trial period (no end date, max of 3 customers) so you can have a good play with the system, without commitment, to see if it will work for you. Pros I love the idea, concept and promise behind Dubsado, and I really, really wanted to love it. For businesses outside of australia who don't need to deal with GST, it's probably fine to use and will serve the purpose you require. It has lots of powerful features, and is great to help automate and systemise your small business, especially for service based businesses such as photographers, designers, and bridal industry organisations. Cons It didn't handle GST very well for me as an Australian business, and although it integrates with Xero, the data was always mixed up between the two, despite lots of troubleshooting, and I found that the support team were very quick to say the issue was not their end, although it seems that it was due to the way that the system was set to calculate the tax. They also had a lot of items on their roadmap that seem to be in the pipeline for years on end with no implementation in sight. Review Source Daphnah J. Web Designer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best CRM on the market. " April 7, 2025 5.0 Overall my experience with Dubsado is great and I am using it daily. Pros I love to use Dubsado for my business! What I like most is that I can have clients easily accept a proposal, sign a contract, and pay their invoices all at once. Cons What I like least about Dubsado is the learning curve. Figuring out the best setup and learning how to automate your workflows takes quite a bit of time. Review Source R Reviewer Co-founder & Brand Strategist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Got the Job Done Well – Could Be Much Better" August 7, 2023 4.0 It definitely got the job done, it was the best platform out there for what we needed, but it could have been so much better. Pros My boutique creative agency was looking for a way to send proposals to both our clients and teammates through a platform that also had invoicing. The way Dubsado merges the proposal, contract, and invoice is really seamless. We also liked that our clients and teammates had a login to their portal where they could see all their contracts and correspondence. The latter feature was better than Honeybook because they didn't need to login every time they wanted to see an email. They could see emails in their email. Cons Dubsado has a severe learning curve. It has such an active facebook group because it's so hard to set up Dubsado and there are people who literally specialize in Dubsado setup as part of their career. I think there has to be a more simple way to build a platform like this. I never had the time to make my contracts and portals look all specialized because Dubsado didn't make it easy to customize. Review Source Thinque P. Educational Consultant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Still full of bugs" May 31, 2021 3.0 I want to like this software. I really do, but there are so many frustrating friction points. Pros It has a level of customizability that seems appealing at first. I also allows for customized proposals and contracts that you can send to families, thus removing the need for a software like DocuSign. The idea of workflows seems interesting as well. Thus with the cost, it can ostensibly replace 2-3 different programs (contracts, proposals, invoicing, simple CRM) Cons The usability is severely limited, and a lot of the features don't work as intended. We pour hours into this software every week trouble-shooting. Examples: -The email pixel doesn't always update properly. -Drag and Drop features on proposal builders. -The website forces us to log-in every time we want to access the website. -Invoicing features are not intuitive and invoices can't be adjusted by date. -Workflows require a multiple drafts and revisions to even make sure it is working. Customer support is responsive, but most of the time the answer is "we're working on it!" They offer classes on their software, but does it make sense to offer a 2 week long course. But most of the course is designed to say "this is how to work around this issue that we know you need to address". Review Source BRITTANY M. Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "I can't live without it now!" December 27, 2022 5.0 Pros It does everything I need it to, it's amazing, I wish I had started with it sooner! Proposals, invoicing, collecting payments, contract signing, bookings, everything is all in one place now and I can automate a lot of what I was doing! Cons There's A LOT to learn, it definitely will take some time to get use to so I'm focusing on one project at a time and will continue to implement as I go Review Source SJ Sarah J. Virtual Assistant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dubsado is Great!" October 16, 2025 5.0 I have been using Dubsado for 6 years now through a bakery, and I love this program. It is easy to use, and has many great qualities. One of the few CRMs that seems to "do it all". Pros There is a lot to love about Dubsado! Their workflow system with automated emails is desirable. I love that our email inbox is also recorded and reflected in Dubsado. The cost is not too much, especially if you can catch them on one of their annual sales. The customer support is top tier and fast to get a response. Lastly, it is user friendly for even the most novice user. Cons I wish the calendar function was better, that you could jump to a specific date, and that you can hover over a project to see the details rather than needing to click into each project. I also would love to see an "upload photo" function outside of the notes section (easier, less clicking). Review Source R Reviewer Venue manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Dubsado is terrific " February 6, 2025 5.0 Positive for sure. Makes my workload more streamlined and accurate Pros This product is so easy to use very easy to manoeuvre around Cons I don’t not like anything it’s all really well out together Review Source R Reviewer Studio Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Such a help to small business" November 28, 2021 5.0 I love this program and it's been hugely helpful as our small business has expanded quite a bit in the last few years. There's no way we would have been able to keep up with client communication and organization without it. It is a bit time consuming on the front end (each time you set up something new within the program) but it's worth it. After initial set up, it saves you so much time. Pros This product helps us to stay very organized as we gain new leads from our website. We're able to automatically send information related to the lead interest and then track and organize these leads as they move through the workflows we've set up. There are layers upon layers of ways to organize leads, clients and jobs. You can stay really simple in this organization or get as detailed as you like. Cons I typically have to train and really work at setting up new systems, and often ask for assistance from customer service. While it's worth it, you'll need to invest some time into using this program well. Review Source Solution Integrators T. Client Experience Strategist Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Makes my job easy" November 16, 2023 4.0 Pros The ability to send a proposal, contract and invoice in one make closing sales seamless. Cons Lack of multi team features - multiple calendars and emails. Review Source R Reviewer Professional Home Organizer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Dubsado is getting better all the time!" July 4, 2022 4.0 I did find Dubsado a little confusing at first, like I said I purchased a course on how to set up the workflows and it showed me the power that Dubsado offer. I also like how they are adding new things all the time. Now we can have people schedule, book and pay for appointments online its great! Pros I like how I can collect leads and create automated workflows so emails can be sent once they sign up for an appointment. I can also sent contracts easily as well. Cons It was hard to set up! I needed to purchase a course on how to create the workflows I needed to automate my client leads. But once I got the hang of it it works like a charm Review Source R Reviewer Entrepreneur Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Intuitive and Professional" June 23, 2022 4.0 Very good! I’ve been using it for years. Pros I like that Dubsado is relatively easy to use. They have good customer support and lots of great options in their software to keep clients, projects, and financials organized. Cons It would be helpful if there was a way to integrate your bank account do transactions could be added automatically. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Dubsado Review" October 15, 2024 4.0 Overall experience has been great. With a fee upgrades this will be even better. Pros I like that it over a trial up to 3 clients to see if i liked the product. I also like that their support team helps upload templates. Cons Sometimes things are not intuitive. There are several limitations on connecting calendars. Review Source R Reviewer Partner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "You get out what you put in" May 10, 2022 4.0 We’ve ended up using it mostly for the digital signatures on contracts. It’s not as user friendly as we’d hoped. Being new to self employment, we started with Dunsado and grew to find there were other platforms that fit our way of working better for project and client management. Pros Dubsado offers a wide range of solutions for a small business. It provides us with invoicing, project and client management as well as contracts, digital signatures and forms. Cons It takes some time to set everything up. Its flexibility can make it a little complicated to set up and wrap your head around. Once you do, it’s one of the more capable platforms. Review Source R Reviewer CEO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Love it" October 4, 2021 5.0 awesome Pros everything is great honestly, i will always refer them depending on the industry. Cons some functions for reoccuring clients with multiple businesses didnt work in my favor. Review Source R Reviewer Fondatrice Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great product, but not always easy to set up, many details to cover" September 6, 2021 5.0 Dubsado requires a lot of time to set up and train to know how to use. but once it is set up correctly, it saves a lot of time in client management Pros the automation of the client follow up is great Cons there are many details to set up, the automated emails are numerous to set up. Review Source L. Brittany G. Consultant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Efficient to incorporate for small business" October 12, 2021 4.0 I look forward to continuing to use Dubsado for years ahead. Pros As a small business that is consistently writing new proposals, quotes, and RFPs, Dubsado really helps us work more strategically and efficiently to reach more people quicker (which our clients love). It has helped a process that could take up to 3 days, go down to 30 minutes or an hour on most days. Cons The most difficult part is setting up your Dubsado account and putting your respective packages. Once this is complete, the process is much easier to work through and add on new features if you'd like. Review Source Kayla O. Senior Associate Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Useful invoicing and quoting" August 13, 2021 5.0 I have had positive experiences with the invoicing and email automation. Pros I’ve seen this used by all kinds of small businesses and it adapts to meet their needs well. Cons It relies on a link, and changes can be made without alerting the recipient. Without a history log, it can be used unscrupulously. Review Source Tanya R. Founder and brand designer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great for client onboarding " December 13, 2024 5.0 It’s great. It makes sending proposals, automating workflows and managing leads really simple Pros It’s great for making client onboarding super simple. The first time I sent over a proposal, my client paid within 5 minutes because it was so easy! Cons I really wish the project management aspect was stronger. The client portal isn’t that great so I have to use a different project management tool. But it integrates really well with most things so it’s not too much of a problem. Review Source Steph B. Customer Experience Analyst Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent for Efficiency and Customization" August 10, 2023 5.0 Dubsado is without a great tool, that is an absolute must for my business. It provides so much help and customization to be organized and operate better with my army of one structure. Pros What I love most about Dubsado is the able to create custom fields, contracts, proposals and more. This is super helpful when dealing with various project types. The automated workflows that can be created are also very amazing. You honestly can set it and forget about it. Cons Some features that could use some improvement in Dubsado is the email functionality and some of the client information. You are able to have your emails linked to Dubsado, however it doesn't really seem as helpful as I originally perceived it to be. Sometimes there is a lag between my actual email inbox versus the Dubsado inbox. The client information could be cleaned up, for example, I would love if it could recognize that I have already entered the same clients and maybe update information as needed. Review Source R Reviewer Virtual Executive Assistant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Workflow King!" December 22, 2023 4.0 Pros Workflows are very easy to create and manage. Proposals can populate contracts and invoice with precise detail. Smart fields and canned emails are easy to use. Cons I wish Dubsado would incorporate if/then options into their workflow, so I don't have to add so many worst case scenario steps into client workflows. I also wish that they would have folders inside of workflows and even templates. If one aspect of your clients business includes 10+ workflows and 30+ canned emails, it gets confusing without folders to start working on another revenue stream. I use prefixes to separate and organize, but folders would be a game changer. Review Source Maria F. Designer Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Best CRM I've ever tried!" December 19, 2022 5.0 Since I started using Dubsado, my business feels easier to manage, especially considering I am a one-person business and I don't have to trust my memory anymore or rely on a paper journal. Automating actions has been a life saver!Also, my business looks way more professional since I started using forms and payments trough this platforms, and clients have let me know about it. Pros Organization, organization, organization!I used to love to have everything written on a journal because I am a very visual person, but since I have Dubsado I don't rely on paper anymore because all I need to add to each job or client I can do it there and keep everything organized in separated areas.I can see all my current jobs in the Dashboard with deadlines, payment status and some little details about the specific job to keep a quick track of everything that needs to be done. One more thing I love about Dubsado is automation. Being able to automate processes like gathering client's information, sending some emails, invoicing and payments, making proposals from packages of products, public proposals... it's all about saving me time and extra unnecessary work on a daily basis. Cons There are some things I would fix, especially from the form builder. I don't know why it doesn't have an "undo" option, which is very needed when designing something. Also, the fact that it is a platform that you run through a browser and not an app, bothers me a little. I would love it to be an app with important notifications instead of relying on emails to know when it requests my attention.
