Dubsado costs $40/month ($480/year). Here's why interior designers are leaving.
That's $1,611 gone in 3 years. And you don't own anything. Stop paying, lose access.

Now add $40/month to Dubsado on top of that. At median interior designer earnings ($55,000/year), that is 18 hours of work annually — just for software that does not solve half these problems.

For solo interior designers and small teams (1-5 people), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting.
