QuoteHQ vs Dubsado

Being straight about it
When Dubsado is the better pick.
A business whose sales process runs through an elaborate, brand-matched intake form — conditional questions, CSS-level styling, a questionnaire that feels handmade — gets more form-building depth out of Dubsado than QuoteHQ’s proposal editor offers. If that intake experience is the product, it’s worth the trade.
When QuoteHQ wins.
Once you'd rather not pay for a higher tier just to unlock job scheduling, workflow automation, and QuickBooks sync, QuoteHQ carries the whole spine on one plan — e-sign to invoice to books that post themselves. Every invoice computes a card price and a bank-transfer price automatically, so the client picks and you net the amount you quoted either way.
Questions people ask when comparing.
Does QuoteHQ replace Dubsado for a business built around custom intake forms?
Not if deep, brand-matched form customization is central to how you sell — Dubsado's conditional logic and CSS-level styling on questionnaires and lead forms go further than QuoteHQ's proposal editor does. If your sales process runs through an elaborate custom intake, that's real Dubsado territory.
Is job scheduling and automation included in every QuoteHQ plan?
Yes. Job scheduling, workflow automation, and QuickBooks sync ship on every plan — there's no higher tier to unlock them.
Does QuoteHQ apply late fees automatically?
Yes. Late fees apply automatically to an overdue invoice on the schedule you set, with no manual step to remember.
Who pays the card processing cost on an invoice?
QuoteHQ computes a card price and a bank-transfer price automatically and shows both on every invoice — the client picks, and you net the amount you quoted either way.
