What to check before leaving Dubsado
Dubsado's plans, as listed on its pricing page, are priced yearly: Starter is $335/yr and covers unlimited projects and clients, invoicing and payment plans, client portals, a calendar connection and 1 lead form. Premier is $525/yr and adds scheduling, automated workflows, public proposals, a bookkeeping integration, Zapier and unlimited lead forms.
Before switching, list which of these you use. If you rely on scheduling and automated workflows, compare against the plan that includes them in the alternative too. For example, HoneyBook's Scheduler and Automations start on Essentials at $49/mo billed yearly ($59 monthly), not on its $29/mo Starter. If you mainly send invoices and take payments, an invoicing tool may be enough; those are listed separately below.
Both lists below are ordered by Curalo score only. No tool pays for its position.
