Monthly cost comparison

Curate: ~$200-500/mo — the wedding and event design specialist

Curate is in virtually every florist vertical we curate at roughly $200-500/mo. It's the right choice when your primary revenue is weddings and events: the platform handles proposal generation with visual mockups, recipe management for each arrangement, labor tracking by event, and payment schedules tied to milestones. The design board feature is genuinely useful: create digital mood boards that clients approve before production, reducing revision cycles. The trade-off is retail features: Curate's daily POS, subscription management, and walk-in customer handling are lighter than Hello Florist's. Curate is the wrong choice for retail-focused shops.

Hello Florist: ~$100-300/mo — the retail and subscription platform

Hello Florist is priced at roughly $100-300/mo and is the right choice when you operate a retail flower shop with daily walk-ins, delivery orders, and subscription services. Hello Florist's differentiator is operations: POS, delivery route optimization, recurring subscription management, and customer loyalty programs designed for retail florists. The inventory tracking is genuinely useful: manage perishable stock with expiration alerts and automatic reorder points. The trade-off is event depth: Hello Florist's proposal tools and visual design boards are minimal compared to Curate's. Hello Florist is the wrong choice for event-heavy businesses.

For teams under 50, paying $200-500/mo for Curate means spending significant money on features you may never use — evaluate whether the complexity is actually earning its keep.

Oven Fresh: ~$150-400/mo — the bakery-florist hybrid

Oven Fresh is priced at roughly $150-400/mo and is the right choice when you operate a hybrid business that combines floral design with baked goods: wedding cakes with matching floral arrangements, dessert tables with floral centerpieces, or retail locations selling both. Oven Fresh's differentiator is integration: unified production calendars, ingredient and flower inventory, and combined proposals that show both baked and floral elements. The shared customer database is also genuinely useful: track preferences for both product lines and create cross-sell opportunities. The trade-off is specialization: Oven Fresh's floral-specific features are lighter than Curate's, and its bakery features are lighter than dedicated bakery software. Oven Fresh is the wrong choice for pure-play florists or bakeries.

The right platform depends on your actual team size and workflow complexity — match the tool to your headcount, not to marketing promises.

The actual decision rule

Wedding and event focus, need visual proposals and design boards: Curate is the event specialist.
Retail with subscriptions and daily operations: Hello Florist is the retail platform.
Hybrid bakery-florist, want unified operations: Oven Fresh handles both product lines.
Small retail shop with occasional events: Hello Florist with manual proposals may be sufficient.
