Short answer

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