The Dubsado Alternative For Coaches That Isn’t A Massive Headache to Set Up

You need one streamlined command center for payments, contracts, scheduling and client management. You DON’T need an incredibly complicated tool that you have to hire a specialist to set up.

“I was using Dubsaso, but it was so complicated that I never used it properly. Paperbell is exactly what I was looking for.”

Experience The Relief of an Elegant System Custom-Tailored Just for Coaches

Dubsado™ is a complex business automation tool that doesn’t specialise in coaches. That’s why it’s missing a lot of features coaches need like group coaching, simple subscription billing, and letting clients book a multi-session package.

Paperbell is easy, elegant and streamlined. Just the breath of fresh air you need for your coaching business!

 

Why Coaches are Making The Switch

launch

Get Up and Running Right Away

Many coaches have to hire a special consultant just to get their Dubsado™ account up and running (or spend hours and hours researching it themselves.) Dubsado™ assumes you have a complex custom proposal process for every client, which just isn’t how most coaches operate.

Custom Coaching Site In Minutes

Dubsado™ does many things, but it doesn’t allow you to host a coaching website. With Paperbell, all it takes is a few clicks to have a gorgeous website that sells any kind of coaching package you can dream up. All perfectly tailored to your brand, of course. Just link your new site to wherever you hang out online to start booking clients.

Get Paid Instantly

Dubsado™ is based on the assumption that you want to create a custom proposal for your client, then get that approved, THEN send an invoice . . . and then maybe someday get paid. We believe there’s a better way, so we integrate scheduling, contract signing and payment into one easy workflow for your clients. Clients always pay and schedule at the same time.

We Only Serve Coaches

Dubsado™ is designed for all kinds of service providers, like virtual assistants, wedding planners, and photographers. That’s why they miss some key needs for coaches – like the ability to schedule group coaching sessions, or easily allowing your client to sign up for an ongoing subscription payment.

Sell More Than Just 1:1 Sessions

Want to sell online courses, digital products, or even a recurring membership? Not only does Paperbell allow you to offer subscription pricing and payment plans, you can also include videos, digital downloads, worksheets or basically any other type of digital resource in your package, with or without 1:1 session or group coaching. You can even “drip feed” the content over time.

Elegant & Simple

We are NOT into adding another headache to your to-do list! Most of our customers require zero support to set up Paperbell on their own, and find they can easily do it in under an hour. Of course, if you do need us, we offer support that one review described as “on par with Disney!

Dubsado™ vs Paperbell: Common Questions

Can Paperbell do everything that Dubsado™ can do?

No, we are an inherently different type of tool than Dubsado™. Dubsado™ calls itself a “business management solution,” whereas we focus on running the back-end of your coaching business. So our features, as well as the overall workflow of the software, are quite different.

Can you coordinate between different time zones?

Yes, you tell us what time zone you’re in, and your client tells us what time zone they’re in. Paperbell automatically does scheduling in everyone’s local time zone.

Yes, you can sell coaching offers that don’t include sessions! You can choose to offer subscription pricing for memberships, or break up payments via payment plans for more expensive products or packages.
