FotoFlow vs Dubsado for Indian studios
Dubsado is a flexible client-management tool loved for its forms and automations — but it's a US-centric generalist with no GST, UPI or payroll, and a setup curve that can swallow weeks.
Dubsado is powerful and highly customisable — if you have the time to build it out. It's a general business-management tool used across creative industries, not a photography-specific system, and it's built around US payments and taxes. FotoFlow is purpose-built for photography studios and for India, so you get studio workflows, GST, UPI and payroll without weeks of configuration.
