Number of Seats/Users: Curate offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Curate that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Curate. Curate reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Curate offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Curate. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Curate often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase, our internal data shows that Curate is a favorite among small event-based businesses, especially florists and catering companies, for boosting workflow efficiency and elevating client proposals. Our Spendbase clients frequently highlight Curate’s modern interface and interactive proposals, making client communications simpler and more professional.

Key advantages our clients consistently mention include:

– Customer support: A large number of Spendbase clients find Curate’s support team helpful, responsive, and invested in their success.

However, Spendbase clients also report a few pain points:

– Pricing: Some consider Curate expensive, particularly businesses with occasional or seasonal needs. Several clients would prefer flexible or usage-based billing instead of annual contracts.
– Limited integrations: Lack of API, Zapier, or vendor integration is a real issue for those who want their tech stack connected.
– Customer service consistency: While many enjoy stellar support, others report slow response times and frustrating ticket-based communications, especially around contract management and cancellations.
– Usability and feature improvements: Some clients wish for improvements in the form builder, contract customization, and the ability to manage emails and client communication seamlessly.

Common suggestions for improvement include:

– Adding standalone mood boards and better color palette tools.
– More customizable and dynamic proposal templates.
– Enhanced inventory management and flower catalog options.
– Easier integration with calendars, emails, and external vendor systems.
– Simpler contract workflows, including easier refund processing and credit card info storage.

Overall, Spendbase clients find that, despite a few operational kinks and pricing frustrations, Curate’s core offering delivers real value—saving hours each week, improving client experience, and helping businesses sell more with less hassle. If you’re considering Curate, our data suggests it could be a great fit, as long as you weigh the cost against your specific workflow needs and check for any essential integrations before you commit.
