Simply Classic Social vs Curate: Florist Proposals Plus a Full Business

Curate builds your florist proposals. Simply Classic Social builds them, books the client, and runs the rest of your floral business.

Short answer

Simply Classic Social is a complete Curate alternative for florists: it includes the proposal building, recipe, and stem-level costing florists rely on, then adds a full client CRM, contracts, invoices and payments, the Lily AI florist assistant, a free seed recipe library, and a public directory listing — so florists run their entire business in one place instead of pairing a proposal tool with a separate CRM.
