Why This Matters for Interior Designers

You're managing 3 active projects. Project A: sourcing furniture for a living room remodel ($8K procurement budget, your markup is 25%). Project B: design phase, client can't decide between 2 color palettes (4th meeting on this). Project C: install day, coordinating delivery of 12 items from 6 vendors. You spent $2K on trade-priced furniture that the client hasn't been invoiced for yet. Your project management is a mix of email folders and Pinterest boards.

Interior Designers face unique challenges: Product procurement markup is a major revenue stream but tracking is messy. Projects span months with multiple phases (concept, design, procurement, install). Client indecision causes timeline delays that aren't billed. Managing trade accounts and vendor relationships. On top of all that, Dubsado charges $40/month ($480/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median interior designer earns $55,000/year. Software at $480/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Design software (AutoCAD, SketchUp, Canva) is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Helix really a Dubsado replacement for interior designers?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Helix includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Dubsado may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Dubsado is $40/month — that's $1,610 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Helix is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Helix is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Helix doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.
