If you know me at all, you know I overanalyze every purchase I make TO THE MAX. Dubsado vs. Honeybook was no exception.

With all the amazing CRM’s out there, how do you even begin to choose?!

I knew I needed a CRM, but which one was the big kicker. Here is a super brief summary on why I chose Dubsado (you can read my full analysis at rebekahreadcreative.com/blog)

1. LACK OF PROCESSING FEES — Obviously if you use ANY invoicing system and allow people to pay with debit or credit card, there will be extra fees, however Dubsado doesn’t take any out for themselves, while Honeybook does.
2. MORE FEATURES — Y’all, Dubsado has it ALL. Here are the things it has that Honeybook DOESN’T: Built-in Scheduler, Branding/custom URL, Workflow overview, Custom fields, Task boards, and Client file uploader… and that’s just scratching the surface.
3. THE PRICE — There are tons of discounts for both resources, but if you go with the yearly plan, Honeybook is $100 a year more. I couldn’t rationalize spending more for less.
4. THE SUPPORT — I can’t speak to Honeybook, but I can speak to Dubsado and they have AMAZING support!

If I can give you one piece of advice it would be smart small with Dubsado. It is a BEAST of a system and I implemented #allthethings right off the bat (workflows, invoices, emails, you name it). It left me feeling super overwhelmed and confused. Thankfully there were some great Dubsado video resources and I scheduled a FREE (aka my favorite word) 30 minute call and they helped me get my stuff figured out.
