WorklynA Dubsado alternative that runs the money too.
Dubsado is a capable clientflow CRM for creatives: forms, automated workflows, scheduling, contracts and invoicing in one place. Worklyn keeps that client-facing flow and adds the finance side you'd otherwise bolt on: real bank feeds across the US, Canada, the EU and the UK, a receipt inbox that files itself, projects and boards, and an AI that does the busywork.
Real bank feeds in the US, CA, EU & UK · Projects & boards · Flat pricing, not per brand
Two good tools, different shapes.
Dubsado is built around client relationships and the workflows that move them along. Worklyn covers that flow too, then keeps going into the finances and the delivery work in between.
Worklyn is for independents who want clientflow and money together
Proposals, contracts with e-sign, forms, scheduling via calendar sync and invoicing, plus connected bank feeds, a receipt inbox with OCR, a unified income-and-expense ledger, projects on a Kanban board, and reports, with an AI that drafts, logs and categorizes for you.
Dubsado is for creatives who live in workflows and forms
Dubsado does automated clientflow well: intake forms, canned emails, workflow automations, scheduling, contracts and invoicing, and connects to QuickBooks or Xero for the books. If your priority is deeply automated client onboarding, Dubsado is strong at it.

Where Worklyn goes further
Dubsado is excellent at automated clientflow. Worklyn keeps the client-facing flow and adds the money side, the delivery work, and the AI on top.
A real money side, not just invoicing
Connect your bank across the US and Canada via Plaid and the EU and UK via EnableBanking, file receipts with OCR, keep one ledger for income and expenses, and report on runway and cash flow, rather than connecting out to a separate accounting tool.
Projects and boards for the delivery work
Run the work itself on a Kanban board with tasks and a global timer, so the project you booked through the clientflow actually gets delivered in the same workspace.
An AI that does the busywork
Draft proposals and contracts, log time in plain English, read receipts, categorize transactions and answer questions about your numbers, built into the workspace rather than bolted on.
EUR-native, flat pricing
Multi-currency in EUR, USD and TRY, and one flat price per workspace, Free, Pro €15.99, Business €39.99, without per-brand or per-user add-ons stacking up as you grow.

Questions about switching from Dubsado
Is Worklyn a good Dubsado alternative?

Does Worklyn have forms and workflows like Dubsado?
Worklyn has a client portal, proposal and contract editors, and AI that drafts documents for you, but Dubsado goes deeper on intake forms and multi-step workflow automation.
