Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Materio at free against Dubsado's subscription. Materio also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 71%). Dubsado's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Dubsado holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dubsado has 582 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of Materio'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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Materio ships an update every 7 months, Dubsado every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
