Side-by-side
“Not listed” means we could not find the feature in the public pages reviewed. It does not prove the feature is unavailable or cannot be built with templates or custom fields.
| Feature | Dubsado | Junie |
|---|---|---|
| Built for doulas | Marketed to service businesses broadly | Yes; Junie is built for doulas and birth workers |
| AI-assisted email drafting | Email templates; AI drafting is not listed in the pricing documentation reviewed | Drafts require approval unless an eligible inquiry or transactional follow-up workflow earns autopilot and the doula enables it; marketing offers remain review-only |
| Payment dates based on due date | Not listed as a built-in feature in the public documentation reviewed | EDD-based schedule; a later EDD change does not rewrite signed installment dates |
| On-call and birth workflow | Not listed as a built-in feature in the public documentation reviewed | On-call tracking and a pause on agent-generated outreach around a birth |
| Postpartum hours remaining | Not listed as a built-in feature in the public documentation reviewed | Hours remaining visible to the doula and client |
| Reimbursement documents | NPI-aware superbills are not listed in the public documentation reviewed | Payment receipt labeled as a superbill; current release uses payment-record dates and generic descriptions, and it is not a Medicaid claim |
| Starting price | $35/month or $335/year | Published price for general access: $39/month; free for up to 1 counted engagement records |
| Payment processing | Dubsado adds no fee; the selected payment processor charges its own fees | Junie adds no fee; Stripe's processing fees still apply |
| Cost over 12 months | Premier costs $660 for 12 monthly payments or $525 when billed annually | Published price for general access: $390/year or $39 × 12 = $468 |
What Dubsado does well
- Starter includes unlimited clients and projects, contracts, invoices, payment plans, forms, email templates, and client portals
- Premier adds scheduling, automated workflows, public proposals, Zapier, QuickBooks Online, and bookkeeping tools
- Dubsado does not add a payment fee on top of the selected processor's fees
What to plan for
- Scheduling and automated workflows require Premier, so compare the $55 monthly or $525 annual price if you need automation.
- Dubsado's flexibility means you configure and test the forms, payment schedules, and workflows you want to use.
- The pricing and feature documentation reviewed does not list estimated-due-date rules, a birth-related outbound pause, postpartum hour banks, or NPI-aware superbills as built-in features.
What Junie offers
- Start agent-assisted inquiry replies and follow-ups in review mode, with optional earned autopilot for eligible workflows
- Calculate birth-support payment dates from the estimated due date; recording a birth applies the stored payment-plan handling and pauses agent outreach for 7 days
- Track on-call periods and birth events; when preparing a reply to a birth inquiry with an EDD, compare that date with committed birth engagements and saved capacity
- Track postpartum hours for the doula and client
- Create a payment receipt labeled as a superbill from settled payments; it can include a saved NPI and optional user-entered service codes, but the current release uses payment-record dates and generic descriptions
- Publish one general-access plan at $39/month, free for 1 active client, with no Junie payment fee
Bottom line
Dubsado suits people who want detailed control over their forms and automations. Junie is narrower and comes with doula workflows already defined. The practical choice is whether you prefer to configure a general system or test a more prescriptive, doula-specific one.
