Honest comparison

CaterFlow AI vs Curate

Curate is proposal and event-design software with roots in the floral industry, and its proposals genuinely look superb. What reviewers keep saying is that beautiful proposals still sit unanswered. CaterFlow AI is built around the follow-up: a branded quote out in under five minutes, then automatic nudges at 24 hours, three days and seven days until the client replies.

When Curate is the better choice

We would rather you buy the right thing than buy from us. Here is where Curate genuinely wins.

You sell on visual design
Weddings and styled events often close on the look of the proposal, and Curate's presentation is stronger than ours.
You are a florist or designer as well
Curate's stem-level costing and rental tracking are built for that trade specifically.
You want to keep quoting yourself
If you enjoy building each proposal by hand, you do not need quoting automated — you need a better canvas.
