A Dubsado alternative built for venues.
MyVenueHQ is a Dubsado alternative for event and wedding venues. Dubsado suits photographers, planners and other service businesses, at $335 or $525 a year billed yearly. MyVenueHQ is free for 10 events a month, then $49 a month, and adds the venue jobs Dubsado’s pricing page does not list: a room calendar, 2D and 3D floor plans and BEOs.
Which is better, Dubsado or MyVenueHQ?
It depends on what you sell. Dubsado is the stronger fit for a photographer, planner or other creative business that wants forms, contracts, invoices and automated workflows in one place. MyVenueHQ fits a venue: it books rooms on a calendar that refuses a clash and builds the floor plan and BEO from the event. Its Venue plan is $49 a month or $490 a year, and its free plan has no time limit. Prices as of October 2026.
