Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Dubsado to manage invoice, contracts, questionnaires, and feedback forms for my Graphic and Web Design Business.
Pros
  • Customizable fillable forms
  • White-label branding ability
  • Amazing customer service
Cons
  • Project tracking/workflows
  • Client portal could use improvement or additional features
  • Steep learning curve at first
Likelihood to Recommend
I would say it's best suited for small businesses (solo entrepreneurs or less than 10 employees) who work on a project basis.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Dubsado for our
  • Scheduler
  • Lead Capture form
  • Proposal
  • Invoicing
  • Contract
  • Feedback form
  • Email automation
  • Process automation
It helps us use one platform for all these things vs using different platforms like what we used to do previously. Also, you can create beautiful proposals, forms and contracts using it which is a plus because you give your customers a great experience even at the start of working together. It also integrates with different tools like Zoom, Active Campaign, etc.
Pros
  • Automation Workflow
  • Scheduler
  • Proposal
  • Contract
  • Invoicing
  • Feedback form
Cons
  • The scheduler doesn’t automatically send people invite. They need to manually add it on by clicking a link which they often miss
  • Payment system for people outside US
  • Steep learning curve
  • Wish they will add visual workflow automation
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.

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.

Support Rating

They don’t have live support chat but they have email support. They get back to their customers fairly quickly and continues to provide free resources that will help users understand how it works.

The only thing is that they take time when it comes to implementing features that makes so much sense to implement given many users have encountered similar issues while using the tool.

But they have a great social community so that helps.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Dubsado is being used as a CRM. We use most of the features including appointment scheduling, contracts, lead capture forms, invoicing and client management. The ability to customize the look of our system is one of the key reasons we use it. Once it's fully set up, it is a smooth process from onboarding to offboarding a client.
Pros
  • Workflows - connecting your lead capture through to contract is easy and functional
  • Appointment scheduling
  • Customizable forms
Cons
  • Invoicing - taking automatic payments would be ideal
  • Project Management - the PM tool is lacking in flexibility
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are not tech savvy, you should hire a professional to set up your Dubsado workflow.

  • It takes a lot of time to set up, but once you do (or hire a professional) you will have an amazing and efficient system that allows for an excellent client experience
  • Having tried other platforms, I appreciate the customizable features of Dubsado not found elsewhere. Its workflows/automations are superior to some other systems
Alternatives Considered
I found HB to be too basic for my needs. It's a much easier setup for non techy people, but its not as customizable as Dubsado.
