Introducing Dubsado 3.0: A faster, more intuitive platform to help you grow your business
You didn’t start your business to get bogged down in busy work — you started it to do what you love: serve your clients, create meaningful work, and build something of your own.
But when you’re already juggling endless to-dos, the last thing you need is software that slows you down. You deserve something that feels natural, intuitive, and designed to make running your business simpler — not something you have to wrestle with.
That’s exactly why we rebuilt Dubsado from the ground up.
Over the past 10 years, more than 100,000 creative service businesses have trusted Dubsado to help them streamline their unique workflows and elevate every client experience.
As you’ve grown and evolved your business , we’ve evolved with you. Dubsado 3.0 is our biggest leap forward yet: a complete rebuild that makes Dubsado faster to learn, easier to use, and ready for the next stage of growth in your business.
This is more than a fresh coat of paint. It’s a foundation for the future — one that unlocks faster updates, smarter tools, and even greater customization for how you work.'
The transformation
Dubsado has always been powerful. It's why creative businesses and service providers choose it—because it can handle the complexity of how they actually work. We know every business works differently — there’s no one-size-fits-all way to run your client experience. Dubsado has always been about giving you the flexibility to build systems that fit your workflow, not forcing you to fit into ours.
But that power came with a cost: every part of the product worked differently. Invoices had their own logic, workflows had their own patterns, projects had their own way of doing things. Learning Dubsado meant learning multiple tools in one.
Dubsado 3.0 changes that.
We've rebuilt the product on consistent, conventional design patterns that work the way you’d expect them to — bringing everything into one intuitive, unified experience. Now, you can move through Dubsado effortlessly, from emails to invoices to workflows, with patterns that make sense and flexibility that grows with you.
The foundation: one cohesive experience across the entire product
At the core of 3.0 is a unified design system that keeps everything feeling familiar, no matter where you’re working in the platform.
Configurable list views
Choose how you see your work. View your data as a table or Kanban board, turn columns on and off, filter and group with precision. These aren't features locked to one area—they're the foundation that powers projects, invoices, transactions, and more. Learn it once, use it everywhere.
Centralized workspaces
Stay focused and organized with dedicated areas for email, invoices, calendar, forms, and workflows. Everything you need is right where you expect it to be. No more rummaging around your projects trying to find that one thing you need to do right now. Instead of separate template areas you can now access canned emails, packages, discounts, and other resources right at hand. Update them in context while you work.
Familiar patterns
You’ll notice familiar layouts and interactions inspired by the tools you already know and love. That means less time learning and more time doing what matters most.
Performance improvements
Every second matters when you’re running a business. Dubsado 3.0 is lightning-fast across every page — projects, forms, clients, invoices. Focus on serving clients instead of watching loading screens. Faster performance means you accomplish more in less time.
What's changed right now
In addition to updated usability and refreshed look and feel, we’re so excited to launch a series of new and improved features.
Projects: Your workspace, your way
The projects list is now a fully customizable workspace. View your projects as a table or Kanban board. Find what you need instantly and organize your work exactly how you want it.
Messages: A real inbox (finally!)
Your long-awaited streamlined inbox experience is here. Manage all your client communication from one place, with:
Centralized access across all of your client and projects, organized neatly into Inbox, Sent, and Archive folders
Detachable composer that travels with you across the product—start an email in one place, finish it in another
Rich threading that makes conversations easy to follow
Built-in templating with Dubsado’s powerful canned emails baked directly into the experience
Flexible scheduled sending so you can finally pick exactly when you want to send
Email reassignment to move messages between projects at any time, even after initial assignment— keep client communications exactly where they belong
Invoicing: Everything in one place
All your billing tools are now together into a single, coherent experience outside of projects, making getting paid simpler and faster.
Invoices and recurring invoices
Powerful transaction views leveraging the new table and filtering system
Time tracking integration
Packages, discounts, and payment plans
Uninterrupted autopay editing—modify invoice amounts, dates, or project details without stopping scheduled payments. Give clients flexibility without sacrificing reliable income.
Time tracking: Always at hand
Track your time and earnings effortlessly with the new global time tracker, always accessible from the top bar wherever you go in Dubsado. Add a project, set a rate, and track your time in money earned—not just minutes. Time entries appear exactly where you'd expect them, seamlessly integrated throughout the product.
Calendar & Scheduling: Familiar and powerful
We've rebuilt the calendar from the ground up to look and feel like the calendar products you already know and love, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your bookings and commitments.
Multiple views—month, week, day, and upcoming events.
Easy filtering to show or hide event types
Keyboard shortcuts for quick navigation
Inline editing and pop-up details for efficient event management
Improved scheduler availability—easily manage availability for templates, create one-off slots, and see exactly how your upcoming availability is configured
Invite your clients calendars directly from Dubsado - Clients will now get an invite directly to their calendar after scheduling with you, and that event will stay in sync if they decline it.
Flows: Clarity and possibility (previously known as “workflows”)
Automation is now easier to visualize than ever. The new node-based builder gives you a clear view of every step, so you can confidently design your client experience by seeing exactly how it all fits together.
What it allows us to deliver going forward
Faster and more frequent feature releases
Our new foundational code enables us to work through our backlog of some of your most needed feature requests with greater speed and agility—and be more responsive to requests in the future.
Improved usability
By recreating our platform from the ground up, we’ve made it more adaptable to your workflows, more intuitive to learn, and more flexible to build upon.
Greater potential for future innovation and integrations
Accomplishing this milestone allows our team to think bigger about how we can keep evolving Dubsado to help make your business all it can be.
The result
Dubsado 3.0 is beautiful, powerful, and easy to use.
New users get up to speed faster.
Power users spend less time managing Dubsado and more time on their actual work.
It works the way you’d expect it to, adapts to how you work, and helps you make your workday simpler so you can fall back in love with running your business.
And we're just getting started.
The consistent foundation we've built in 3.0 is the canvas for everything we'll build next.
