Flowhub pricing in 2026: what Flowhub POS costs per month, and why every reported price disagrees

This is the question that decides your bill, and the public sources contradict each other on it. Capterra states the pricing model is per user per month. SelectHub also describes a per-user model, but at $10 to $100 rather than $399. ITQlick presents $399 as a monthly figure without a per-user qualifier, and most cannabis POS roundups discuss Flowhub in per-location terms alongside Dutchie and Cova.

Work through what each reading means for a real shop. Take a single-location dispensary with six staff logins, which is modest for a store running two registers across opening hours. Under the flat reading, that is $399 a month, or $4,788 a year. Under the Capterra per-user reading, the same shop pays roughly $2,394 a month, or $28,728 a year. Under the SelectHub range at the top end, $100 per user, it is $600 a month. Three published sources, three answers that are nowhere near each other.

There is a further wrinkle worth raising on your first call. Some vendors count only concurrent or named administrative users, others count every budtender who can log into a register. If your quote is per user, the definition of a user is worth more to you than the rate. Ask whether seasonal staff, delivery drivers and back-office accounts each consume a seat, and what happens to the bill in December when you hire temporary help.

Multiple directories, including Capterra and ITQlick, report that Flowhub offers no free trial and no free version. That is standard for cannabis point of sale. These systems have to be connected to your state track-and-trace account and loaded with a compliant catalog before they do anything useful, so a self-serve trial is not really possible in the way it is for general business software.

It does change how you should run the evaluation. Without a trial, the demo is your only hands-on look at the product before you are contractually committed, so treat it as a working session rather than a presentation. Bring a slice of your own catalog, your own tax rates and one awkward real-world scenario, such as a returning patient hitting a purchase limit or a discount stacking against a loyalty reward. Watching a vendor handle your edge case tells you more than an hour of feature tour.

Reference calls do the rest of the work a trial would have done. Ask Flowhub for two current customers of roughly your size in your state, and ask those operators the two questions that matter: what broke in the first ninety days, and what does the invoice actually say. A public Capterra review of Flowhub complains specifically about support responsiveness and about tax figures differing between reports, which is exactly the kind of thing a reference call can confirm or dismiss.

Three things are happening at once. First, Flowhub genuinely sells by quote, so there is no authoritative public number for anyone to copy. Second, software directories are commercial businesses that earn referral fees from the vendors they list, and their pricing fields are frequently populated from old vendor submissions, user-submitted figures or estimates rather than from a current rate card. Third, once one directory publishes a figure, it gets repeated by roundup posts that do not check it.

We have watched this happen in detail on a vendor where the truth is knowable. IndicaOnline publishes a complete public rate card running from $240 to $850 a month depending on plan and billing frequency. ITQlick reported that product at $149 per user per month and Software Advice reported it starting at $249. Both are contradicted by the vendor's own published prices. There is no reason to assume the same directories are more accurate about a vendor that publishes nothing at all.

So the working rule for any quote-based cannabis POS is to use public figures for one purpose only: knowing roughly what order of magnitude to expect and what questions to ask. The moment you are budgeting, the only number worth having is a written quote with the billing unit, the module list, the one-time costs and the contract term all stated on the same page.
