Frequently asked questions

Is Dubsado more powerful than lemon.gallery?

For highly custom workflow logic outside photography, Dubsado's flexibility can go further; for a photography studio specifically, lemon.gallery reaches the same outcomes with far less configuration.

Does Dubsado offer a real free plan?

No — Dubsado is trial-only, with a full subscription required afterwards. lemon.gallery's free tier has no time limit and includes both the CRM and gallery delivery.

Which delivers client galleries?

Only lemon.gallery. Dubsado has no gallery or print-sales feature, so a Dubsado studio still runs a separate delivery platform alongside it.

How does the contract-signing experience compare?

Both support e-signature; the difference is lemon.gallery's templates are already written for photography shoots, where Dubsado's start as blank forms you configure yourself.
