Likelihood to Recommend If you are a small service-based business owner looking for a CRM to automate your customer journey then this is for you. This platform is very customizable and can be really powerful once you set it up fully. This is like putting puzzle pieces together. First you need to setup all the pieces like scheduler, lead capture form, proposal, packages, invoices, contract and then setup the workflow automation. It will be helpful if you map your process in a mind-mapping tool first so it’s easy to see on high level what you need accomplished. This platform is not suitable for big companies or SaaS industry because the tagging system is not robust.
Read full review It is the best available solution for small businesses due to the licensing model and the ease of use. For companies like us who implement this for customers, it is easy to implement and train users. Larger companies would prefer to use existing products that have been developed for their specific industry or department.

The built-in call scheduler is awesome! I can create various appointment schedulers with multiple availabilities, and collect payments right up front, too! Dubsado also has a sweet Client Portal where my clients can login and see all their activity with me at a glance.

Read full review Alternatives Considered Dubsado is more customizable and with robust features. Also, the user interface is visually pleasing but definitely has steep learning curve. Once you get the hang of it, it’s very easy especially with other developers helping users create beautiful form, proposals with ease without needing to know how to code.
HoneyBook is not available for people outside USA & Canada. I haven’t used
17hats for a very long time but the user interface is pretty much the same
Read full review Probably the most important aspect would be the licensing model which makes it affordable for all businesses. Can be adapted to the business without having to change the business model around the CRM product.
