AMW ClientHub vs Dubsado — The Honest Comparison for Service Businesses
Dubsado is the all-in-one client management tool for creative professionals — invoicing, contracts, workflows, all in one. AMW ClientHub is the focused client portal built for every service business that runs delivery alongside sales and support. Here is when each one wins.
Dubsado Premier is $525/year (~$44/mo) flat-rate with up to 3 users included — the tier where automated workflows, scheduling, and public proposals unlock. Additional users start at $25/mo (4-10 users). AMW ClientHub is $79/mo flat-rate with unlimited users — the workspace without the AI agent layer. AMW Suite Solo at $129/mo bundles ClientHub with CRM, Proposals, Attribution, Funnels, AND one AI agent. Dubsado wins for creative solo operators and small teams who want one tool for invoicing + contracts + client portals. AMW Suite Solo wins for service businesses that already have invoicing/billing handled and need a client portal that connects to the rest of their sales + delivery stack.

Choosing between AMW ClientHub and Dubsado depends on whether you want one tool for everything or a focused client portal that connects to your existing stack. Dubsado is the all-in-one — invoicing, contracts, lead forms, scheduling, client portals, and workflows. AMW ClientHub focuses on the portal experience itself and integrates with your invoicing, your CRM, and your delivery tools.
Dubsado built its reputation with creative professionals — wedding planners, photographers, designers, coaches. Its template library, workflow engine, and brand voice all reflect that audience. If your business is a creative service practice and you want one tool to run everything, Dubsado has been refined for that use case for over a decade.
AMW ClientHub is the client portal inside AMW Suite. It is built for service businesses running delivery as one piece of a larger sales-and-support motion — consultancies, agencies, professional services firms, B2B service teams. Clients see their projects, files, messages, and milestones in one branded portal. The portal connects to AMW CRM (the contact record), AMW Proposals (the signed agreement), and Attribution (the revenue source). Invoicing happens via your existing tool (we recommend Medusa for AMW customers).

How to Choose Between AMW ClientHub and Dubsado
Choose AMW ClientHub when…
- You run a service business with separate sales, delivery, and support functions — consultancy, agency, professional services firm, B2B service team
- Your team is 4+ users (Dubsado per-user math starts adding up at user #4)
- You already have invoicing and contracts handled — you need the portal, not the whole back office
- You want AI agents surfacing delivery risks — AMW Suite Solo at $129/mo bundles Aria
- You want predictable flat pricing without per-user climbs
- You want one bill across CRM, proposals, client portal, attribution, and funnels (AMW Suite Solo $129/mo)
Choose Dubsado when…
- You are a solo creative pro or run a small creative team (3 users or fewer)
- You want one tool for invoicing + contracts + portals + workflows + scheduling
- Your business is in the creative service space — weddings, photography, design, coaching
- You are comfortable building rule-based workflow automations by hand
- You want a 21-day free trial before committing
Or run both side-by-side
Running Dubsado and AMW ClientHub together is rare but possible. The pattern that makes sense: keep Dubsado for invoicing, contracts, and scheduling (the things it does natively that AMW ClientHub does not), and use AMW ClientHub for the client portal experience itself — branded portals, file delivery, project boards, messaging, and the AI agent layer.
Dubsado handles "is the contract signed and the invoice paid"; AMW ClientHub handles "where does the client log in to see their work." The two connect via Zapier or webhooks at the moment a contract is signed in Dubsado → client portal goes live in AMW.
Avoid duplicating client records across both platforms long-term — pick one as the system of record. The cleanest pattern is Dubsado for billing/contracts source-of-truth and AMW for the portal/delivery source-of-truth, with a one-way sync at contract signing.
If you are migrating fully off Dubsado, the guided migration imports your client list, project history, and active project status. We typically run a side-by-side window of two to three weeks. Note that Dubsado-native features (invoicing, contracts, scheduling) need to be re-homed to your replacement tools during migration.
Migrating from Dubsado to AMW ClientHub
Most Dubsado Premier teams complete the move in two to three weeks. Plan for the invoicing + contracts re-homing piece separately — Dubsado bundles those natively, AMW does not.
-
1
Export your Dubsado clients and projects
30 minutesPull your client list, active project status, and message history from Dubsado. We accept the standard Dubsado export format.
-
2
Re-home invoicing + contracts
4-8 hours (one-time setup)AMW does not bundle invoicing or contracts. Most teams move invoicing to Medusa (AMW recommendation) or Stripe, and contracts to AMW Proposals or DocuSign. Plan this re-homing before the ClientHub migration so portal launch is clean.
-
3
Import clients + project history into AMW ClientHub
1-2 hoursWe migrate your client list, project boards, and active status. File history can be pulled forward or left in Dubsado as a read-only archive.
-
4
Connect AMW CRM (or your CRM of choice)
1 hourWire up AMW CRM, HubSpot, or Salesforce so portal activity flows back to the contact record automatically.
-
5
Run side-by-side for two weeks
2 weeksKeep Dubsado read-only for two weeks so anyone can verify a client record. Active project work happens in AMW. After two weeks of clean parity, cancel the Dubsado subscription.
Each, in their own words.
AMW ClientHub
Flat rate with unlimited users — branded portals, project boards, file delivery, messaging. No AI agent layer.
Verified May 12, 2026
AMW ClientHub is the branded client portal inside AMW Suite. Clients log in to see their projects, files, messages, milestones, and signed agreements in one place. Every interaction writes back to the contact record in AMW CRM.
At the AMW Suite tier, the AMW agent layer adds active ops support. Aria the operations agent reads project status, file deliveries, and message threads, then surfaces delivery risks (a project drifting past a milestone, a client message gone unanswered for 3 days) and drafts status updates in your voice. Every action gates on a human tap. Agents are bundled with AMW Suite Solo at $129/mo (one of three) or Team at $199/mo (all three).
AMW ClientHub standalone at $79/mo unlimited users is the portal without the AI ops layer — branded portals, project boards, file delivery, messaging, milestone tracking, signed agreement storage. Invoicing happens via your existing tool. The upgrade path from ClientHub standalone to Suite Solo is one button.
Strengths
- Flat $79/mo with unlimited users — no per-seat math as your team grows
- AI agent layer with AMW Suite (Solo $129/mo bundles one agent; Team $199 bundles all three) — Aria surfaces delivery risks + drafts status updates
- Native integration with AMW CRM, AMW Proposals, and AMW Attribution — one workspace, no Zapier
- Branded portals with custom domains, password protection, and per-client theming
- AMW Suite Solo at $129/mo bundles ClientHub + CRM + Proposals + Attribution + Funnels + one agent
- Built and stress-tested on a real 27-year-old agency before it shipped to customers
Considerations
- Newer to market than Dubsado — beta tier still visible in some views
- No native invoicing — pair with Medusa, Stripe, or your existing billing tool
- No native scheduling — pair with Cal.com or Calendly
- Workflow library is leaner than Dubsado (focused on service-business use cases)

Dubsado
Premier plan, flat-rate. Includes 3 users + automated workflows + scheduling + public proposals. Extra users: $25/mo (4-10), $45/mo (11-20).
Verified May 12, 2026
Dubsado is the all-in-one client management tool for creative professionals. It bundles invoicing, contracts, lead capture forms, scheduling, client portals, and workflow automation into one product. The platform has been refined over a decade and is one of the most established tools in its category.
Dubsado Premier is where most working teams land — automated workflows, unlimited lead forms, scheduling, public proposals, bookkeeping integration, and Zapier connectivity. The Starter tier ($335/year) is lighter — it lacks the workflow automation that defines Dubsado for most users.
Dubsado is best understood as the operating system for a solo creative or small creative team. If you run a wedding planning business, a photography studio, a design practice, or a coaching firm, Dubsado handles the back office. Where it gets thinner is for service businesses running delivery alongside a separate sales motion — the platform is not designed around that lifecycle.
Strengths
- Mature all-in-one platform refined for creative professionals for over a decade
- Native invoicing, contracts, lead capture, and scheduling in one tool
- Workflow automation with email, task, and form triggers
- Custom branding and client portals on every plan
- 21-day free trial with full Premier access
Considerations
- Premier tier ($525/year, ~$44/mo) includes 3 users; extra users are $25/mo (4-10), $45/mo (11-20), $60/mo (21-30)
- Automated workflows require Premier — Starter ($335/year, ~$28/mo) lacks automation
- Workflow engine is rule-based — no AI agent layer
- Best for creative service professionals; less natural fit for service-business delivery workflows where sales/support are separate functions
- Additional brands are $10/mo each (separate businesses on the same account)
