Both FlowerBuddy and Curate are designed to help florists manage their businesses more efficiently. FlowerBuddy aims to simplify the process with an intuitive interface, pre-loaded flower data, and flexible pricing. Let’s take a closer look at how the two platforms stack up on key features and costs.
Curate’s pricing includes high subscription costs, with additional charges for features like inventory management, though exact amounts aren’t always clear. Many users who switched from Curate have faced 20% to 40% annual price increases over the past two years, often paying more than the prices listed on Curate’s website. In contrast, FlowerBuddy has maintained simple, transparent pricing for the past three years.
Note: FlowerBuddy offers a $300 credit to those switching from Curate, plus free data migration and account set up.

While both platforms offer essential floral event features, FlowerBuddy emphasizes cost, price, and profit visibility, helping florists make more profitable decisions. FlowerBuddy also includes labor time estimation and digital, shareable build instructions that Curate lacks. Additionally, Curate has been slow to add new features, focusing more on expanding into other verticals like catering rather than deepening its flower-specific capabilities.
Curate, built on an older platform, has a dated interface. Though they are rolling out a new interface, many users who have switched to FlowerBuddy have yet to be transitioned. Users also report long wait times for support and feature requests. In contrast, FlowerBuddy makes support easily accessible with in-app chat, videos, articles, and the ability to book a call with a support team member. FlowerBuddy’s ongoing updates keep usability modern and seamless, focusing specifically on the floral industry.
