    In practice. What you can do with Dubsado.

    Dubsado is a CRM built around client admin: lead capture forms, contracts, invoicing, scheduling and public proposals, with conditional automated workflows as its signature feature on the Premier plan. Both plans include a client portal and unlimited projects and clients.

    Starter costs $27.92/month billed annually ($335/year) but excludes workflows, bookkeeping integration, scheduling, proposals and Zapier. Premier costs $43.75/month ($525/year) and includes all of it. A 21-day trial gives full Premier access. It fits a solo consultant or creative freelancer who wants client admin to run itself.
