A Dubsado alternative without an annual-only plan
Dubsado sells its Starter plan at $335/year ($525/year for Premier) with no monthly option and no permanent free tier — just a 21-day trial. Client Paper Co. covers invoicing, contracts, and proposals on a free plan that never expires, plus a monthly Pro option if you outgrow it, with no year-long commitment required upfront.

Switching from Dubsado
Dubsado's lead capture forms and workflow automations don't have a direct export. Before switching, note which forms and automations you actually rely on, then pull your active client list and any open payment plans and re-create them in Client Paper Co.'s client workspace — do this before your annual term renews so you're not paying for both.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I pay Client Paper Co. monthly instead of Dubsado's annual-only plans?
- Yes. Pro is billed monthly or yearly, and you can cancel anytime — there's no requirement to commit to a full year upfront like Dubsado's Starter and Premier tiers.
- Does Client Paper Co. have Dubsado's workflow automation or lead capture forms?
- No. It's focused on generating and sending documents, not automating a client pipeline from lead to booking. If workflow automation is your main reason for using Dubsado, that's a real gap versus switching.
