Should you use Practice Better or Dubsado to manage your client workflow and questionnaires, contracts, invoices, etc.? There are lots of CRMs available, like 17Hats, Honeybook, Dubsado, and Practice Better.

In today’s video, I’m comparing the two platforms for dietitians and health professionals who might be interested in using one of these client platforms in their online business.
Update 3/16/21:
It’s been a few months since I switched away from Dubsado, and I now use Honeybook (aff. link) instead. Unfortunately, I ran into several glitches within the Dubsado platform (emails not sending, workflows pausing), and needed to make a switch. Honeybook is very similar to Dubsado in terms of features!
My opinion above remains the same about Practice Better being best for dietitians who are doing 1:1 work and need to send patient protocols, whereas Honeybook would be better suited for group coaching and the like.
Understanding Practice Better and Dubsado
Both Practice Better and Dubsado are client management systems that offer a variety of features to help you manage your business. I personally use Dubsado, but Practice Better is a favorite among dietitians and health professionals.
Key Features of Practice Better
Practice Better (aff. link) stands out with its unique features tailored for health professionals. Here are some of the integrations that Practice Better offers which Dubsado does not:
- A supplement database
- Full script integration
- The ability to run programs and courses
Moreover, Practice Better has a built-in Zoom integration, making it a convenient tool for virtual consultations.
Key Features of Dubsado
Dubsado, on the other hand, is a robust platform that covers the basic client interaction needs such as:
- Contracts
- Invoices
- Questionnaires
- Scheduling appointments
If your work involves more general coaching and you need a platform for contracts, invoices, questionnaires, and call scheduling, Dubsado might be the better option for you.
Pricing: Practice Better vs Dubsado
When it comes to pricing, both platforms offer a free option, limited to three clients at a time. This is a great way to test the platform and see if it suits your needs without any financial commitment.
Dubsado’s next available plan after the free one is $35 a month, offering access to everything, including unlimited projects and clients. Practice Better’s next plan starts at $19 a month. They offer several tiers of plans, with more features and users available the more you pay.
The Bottom Line
Both platforms are excellent tools that can help streamline your business. The choice between Practice Better and Dubsado really comes down to how you specifically work with your clients. If you’re involved in nutrition coaching, testing, or anything in-depth and personalized, Practice Better may be the better fit. However, if your work is more general and you just need a platform for basic client interactions, Dubsado might be the better choice.
Remember, both platforms can integrate or at least link to your website, helping to further streamline your business.
