Veyra vs Dubsado: a client-management workhorse, or the whole studio in one place?
Veyra is an all-in-one studio platform built in Birmingham for photographers: enquiries and CRM, booking, contracts, invoices, client galleries, email marketing and a portfolio website on one client record, from £6 a month excluding VAT. Dubsado is a respected client-management tool known for its forms and workflows, priced in US dollars.
The short version
Dubsado does client management very well. Its forms are deeply customisable, its workflows can send the right thing at the right moment, and it can run several brands from one account. What it does not do is deliver photographs: by Dubsado’s own description it has no built-in gallery delivery and no print lab, and no website builder.
That means a photographer on Dubsado usually pays for a gallery product and a website as well. Veyra puts those on the same record as the enquiry and the invoice, so the client you booked is the client who opens the gallery.
Dubsado Starter is $35 a month or $335 a year, and Premier, which adds scheduling and workflows, is $55 a month or $525 a year. Veyra Grow is £6 a month with galleries, booking and a portfolio website; Pro at £12 adds drafted follow-ups and email campaigns.

- Scheduling from the £6 plan, where Dubsado keeps it to Premier.
Stay with Dubsado if
you need Dubsado’s depth of form and workflow building, you run several brands, and you are happy to keep a separate gallery and website. Plenty of studios run exactly that way.
Choose Veyra if
you would rather have the gallery, the website and the email marketing on the same record as the enquiry, for less than the price of Dubsado alone. See client galleries and the portfolio website.
Moving from Dubsado to Veyra
Contacts and your payment history come in as CSV files, and project and invoice registers can be added if you have them. Veyra checks everything first and shows you a report: duplicates, payments it cannot match to an invoice, dates that look wrong. Nothing is written until you approve it, nothing is emailed to a client, and your invoice numbering carries on from where it was. Exports from other tools may need their column headings renamed to match; the switching guide lists them. Galleries are uploaded again, and the gallery links you send from Veyra are new.
What Veyra does not do yet
- No print store or lab fulfilment. If print sales pay a large part of your bills, keep a print-led gallery for that.
- There is no one-click importer for another product. The import is a checked CSV upload, described in the switching guide.
- The iPhone app is in App Store review. Veyra runs in any browser today, including on Android phones.
