The short version

  • Only Dubsado has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Dubsado automated workflows, scheduling and public proposals all require the Premier plan at $525 a year; Nusii the plan limit counts active proposals rather than proposals sent, so an untidy pipeline of stale open proposals will push you into a higher tier even though the actual workload has not changed.
  • They diverge on capability: Dubsado covers Scheduler, Nusii covers Reusable content sections.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Dubsado

  • Client management and project workflows for freelancers and studiosnot Nusii
  • Sending proposals, contracts and invoices with automated follow upnot Nusii

  • A freelancer who wants proposals that look designed without paying agency prices for a sales platformnot Dubsado
  • A small studio replacing Word documents and PDFs with a trackable web proposal and an accept buttonnot Dubsado
  • Knowing precisely when a client opened a proposal so the follow-up call is timed rather than guessednot Dubsado
  • Standardising scope and terms language across a handful of people so every proposal says the same thing about revisions and paymentnot Dubsado

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dubsado

  • Automated workflows, scheduling and public proposals all require the Premier plan at $525 a year
  • The Starter plan allows a single lead capture form
  • Zapier and bookkeeping integrations are excluded from Starter
  • Additional brands are $10 a month each
  • Only 3 users are included, with 4 to 10 costing $25 a month and 21 to 30 costing $60

Nusii

  • The plan limit counts active proposals rather than proposals sent, so an untidy pipeline of stale open proposals will push you into a higher tier even though the actual workload has not changed.
  • There is no product catalogue, pricing logic or CPQ capability, so anything involving configurable products, volume tiers or approval rules has to be worked out elsewhere and typed in as text.
  • Direct integrations are almost non-existent and most connections go through Zapier, which means a second subscription and a fragile chain between the proposal and your CRM or accounting system.
  • Acceptance is an online agreement rather than a full electronic signature service with the identity verification and audit trail that regulated buyers and some public sector clients demand.
  • The vendor is a very small independent company, which keeps the product focused and the support personal but concentrates business continuity risk in a way procurement at a larger client may question.
