Dubsado price increase: the 2025 plans, seats and alternatives

Quick answer

Dubsado's pricing page, re-read October 26, 2026, shows Starter at $335 per year and Premier at $525 per year. The monthly prices did not render in a plain read of the page, so we write See site. A third-party review reports that the monthly prices are up from $20 and $40 for new subscribers (to $35 and $55); the earlier rates and the December 2025 date are reported, not confirmed on a Dubsado page.

If your flows are built and you are three people or fewer, stay. If you need more seats, or you want time tracking and recurring invoices in the same tool, compare the alternatives.

What Dubsado costs now

Dubsado's page says annual billing gives you two months of savings. It also says the trial lasts 21 days with full Premier access and no credit card info required. It says "3 additional users for free", and its help center confirms both plans include up to 3 additional team members at no extra cost.

Dubsado lists extra-user tiers on its pricing page:

Extra brands are $10 per month each. The page does not say if a tier price is per user or for the whole tier. Ask before you plan a bigger team around it.

What changed on December 1, 2025

The review reports that Starter went from $20 to $35 a month, a 75% rise. Premier went from $40 to $55, a 38% rise. We could not re-read the current monthly figures on Dubsado's page, so treat them as reported. It says people who subscribed before December 1, 2025 kept the old $20 and $40 rates. The change arrived alongside Dubsado 3.0, the first major rebuild in about ten years.

If you are on a legacy rate, check that your invoice still shows it. Do not cancel and re-subscribe without knowing what you would pay.

Who should stay on Dubsado

Dubsado is a strong tool. Stay if this fits:

• You built your flows already. Dubsado's workflow builder can run much of the client journey, from lead form to contract to onboarding. Rebuilding that takes time.
• You rely on its forms and branding. Reviewers praise how closely forms, proposals and the portal can match a brand.
• Your team is three people or fewer. Three seats are included, so the plan price is the bill.
• You are on a legacy rate. If $20 or $40 still applies to you, the math is hard to beat.

Reviewers also describe a real setup effort. One review estimates 15 to 25 hours for a production-ready account. If you are past that, the cost is already paid.

What Workspace369 costs

Workspace369 is priced by seats and features. List prices, with Dubsado's monthly price left as See site:

At two and three people, Dubsado's yearly price is lower than ours. Say so plainly. The case for Workspace369 is what the plan includes, not the headline price.

• Cadet includes the CRM, projects, proposals you can approve and sign online, invoices, online payments, retainers and recurring invoices.
• Voyager adds SMS and voice, a shared inbox and a second seat; time tracking is on every plan.
• Specialist adds online booking, payment plans, expenses and basic accounting, with 10 seats.

The full matrix is on the pricing page. Yearly billing saves about 20%.

Switch & Save is free account setup and migration help. Our team sets up your workspace with you and helps move your clients and invoices from the tools you use now. It is not an importer. You export your data from Dubsado first, AI Import maps it, and we help you check it.

Who should price the alternatives

• Teams that need more than three seats. Check how Dubsado bills the extra-user tiers, then compare.
• Anyone starting fresh. If you have not built flows yet, you can compare setup effort before you commit.
• Anyone who wants time tracking and recurring invoices. On Workspace369, recurring invoices and retainers are on every plan and time tracking is included on every plan. Dubsado's help center puts time tracking on Premier only, so Starter has none.
• Businesses that want proposals, contracts, invoices and payments in one place with a team plan.

Workspace369 in action for a small client-work business

These are screens from a demo workspace with sample data. The first shows the invoice editor next to a live preview of a partially paid invoice, with tabs for Details, Payment Plan and Payment. The preview shows paid to date and the amount due. This is where invoices and payment plans are built.

The second is the Projects board: columns for Planning, In Progress and On Hold, each card with a priority, a progress bar, a budget and days left. The left menu lists Clients, Requests, Tasks, Time Tracking, Proposals and Invoices, so quoting, time tracking and billing sit in one place.

What it does not do: there is no one-click Dubsado import, so you export your data and AI Import maps it, and Dubsado's flow builder may suit you better if you have already built long flows. Online booking, expenses and payment plans start at Specialist, and Cadet has one seat.

The bottom line

Dubsado costs more for new subscribers since December 1, 2025, and the plans now include three seats. For small teams with built workflows it is still a strong choice. For teams past three, or businesses that want one plan with time tracking and recurring invoices, run your numbers on both. Dubsado offers a 21-day trial with no credit card; Workspace369 offers a 14-day trial on Cadet through Commander, and a card is required. Start the Workspace369 trial if the table above looks close.
