DubLedger vs Flowhub: what operators actually see

Flowhub has been around since 2015 and powers some of the largest dispensary chains. DubLedger is newer but built with lessons from the gaps we saw in existing platforms.

Flowhub is one of the most established cannabis POS platforms, with a strong presence in Colorado and expansion into other states. They have built a broad product suite including POS, ecommerce, marketing, and analytics. DubLedger takes a different approach: deeper compliance integration, more transparent pricing, and direct access to the engineering team.
