Agencly vs Dubsado
Dubsado is a powerful client management suite once configured: but automations and scheduling arrive only on Premier at $55/mo, the first 3 seats are included but extra users cost $25-60/mo by tier, and there are no real project boards. Agencly is flat-priced from $19/mo with delivery, portal, and your whole team included.

Why switch from Dubsado to Agencly
Dubsado rewards the setup investment: but getting to automations, scheduling, and time tracking means Premier at $55/mo, teams beyond three seats cost extra, and project delivery is not its strength. Agencly includes the full stack from $19/mo.
Delivery, Not Just Client Management
Dubsado handles forms, contracts, and invoices well, but has no Kanban boards, task dependencies, or team boards. Agencly runs the delivery side: projects, milestones, budgets, and assignments.
Automations Without the Premier Tax
Dubsado gates workflows, scheduler, and public proposals behind Premier ($55/mo). Agencly includes automations, scheduling, and approvals on every plan from $19/mo.
A Real Client Portal
Dubsado clients receive share links per document. Agencly gives every client a branded portal with their projects, invoices, contracts, and messages in one login.
Team Included
Dubsado includes 3 seats; the fourth user starts a $25-60/mo add-on. Agencly's flat plans include your whole team, no per-user add-ons.
One Brand, One Price
Dubsado charges $10/mo per additional brand. Agencly runs multiple clients and brands from one workspace at one price.
Live in 10 Minutes, Not a Weekend
Dubsado's power requires hours of workflow building and template wiring. Agencly is productive in under 10 minutes: no workflow editor required before the first invoice.
