Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Session at free against Dubsado's subscription. Dubsado's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (539 vs 28). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Dubsado holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dubsado has 539 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Session's written reviews are positive against 71% of Dubsado's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Session ships an update every 3 months, Dubsado every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 27, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
