Dubsado pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Dubsado (dubsado.com) is a freelancer business tool. Two flat plans sold on annual billing (Starter $335/yr, Premier $525/yr), with paid add-ons for extra users and brands.. No free plan.

What Dubsado costs

  • 1 user, 10 invoices: $27.92/mo (Starter $335/yr / 12 = $27.92/mo. Clients are unlimited and no invoice cap is listed. Invoicing and payment plans are on Starter; cards are accepted via Stripe per the Accept payments page, but the page does not state card payment per plan. No Dubsado payment fee is stated.)
  • Full clientflow: $43.75/mo (Premier $525/yr / 12 = $43.75/mo. Starter lacks public proposals, scheduling and automated workflows, so Premier is the cheapest plan with all five. Contracts ('Legally binding contracts') are not tied to a plan on the page; assumed included in Premier.)
  • 5 users: $52.92/mo (Starter $335/yr / 12 = $27.92, plus the Users add-on: 3 additional users free, then $25/mo for 4-10 users. The 5th seat is the 4th additional user, so $27.92 + $25 = $52.92/mo. The page does not say which plans allow multiple users; if only Premier does, the figure is $43.75 + $25 = $68.75.)

Plan compared: Starter plan, annual price / 12 (the page shows no monthly price). Prices are USD per month for the software on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12). Card and bank processing fees are left out, but invoicing fees charged on top of them (such as a percentage per paid invoice) are counted. The headline is one freelancer sending 10 invoices a month; the other two figures are the full proposal-to-payment workflow for one person and a 5-person team.

Pricing page: dubsado.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Prices come from the official pricing page, which shows annual totals only (Starter $335/yr, Premier $525/yr); PricingSaaS labels the same figures per month, a conflict resolved in favour of the vendor page. No sourced price changes: PricingSaaS shows none (last checked 2026-06-14) and the price-increase web search could not run (search budget used up), so changes after June 2026 may be missing.
