Dubsado can build almost any workflow you can imagine, if you have the time to build it. It still cannot send one email to two partners on the same project. Rundown starts from the couple, not a blank workflow canvas.

Start planning weddings in one place.

THE WEDDING, START TO FINISH

A couple is two people. Most tools plan for one.

Here is where planners tell us Dubsado stops helping, and where Rundown keeps going.

Setup

WITH DUBSADO

A flexible but blank canvas. Most new users spend weeks building their own forms and workflows before booking a single wedding.

WITH RUNDOWN

Wedding workflows built around pipeline stages, lead scoring, and scope of services from day one.

Communication

WITH DUBSADO

Workflow emails send to one contact per project, a limitation for planners working with two partners.

WITH RUNDOWN

Every project holds both partners and the full planning team from the first inquiry.

Planning

WITH DUBSADO

No floor plans, no shot lists, no guest coordination. Dubsado handles intake, not the wedding itself.

WITH RUNDOWN

Seating charts tied to specific runsheet events, plus a shot list manager shared with the couple and photographer.

On the day

WITH DUBSADO

A mobile experience reviewers describe as difficult to rely on for real work in the field.

WITH RUNDOWN

Timeline and shot list details already organized for the people who need them on site.
