BoutiqueHQ vs CloudBridal

Transparent pricing is a start. Native is the difference.

CloudBridal earned a following by publishing its prices while the incumbent hides them — fair play. But it's still a browser-only system, and the bride portal only arrives on its top tier. BoutiqueHQ is native on iPhone, iPad & Mac, with the portal included on every plan.

Honestly, where each one fits

Choose BoutiqueHQ if…

  • You want a real iPad till + iPhone in your pocket, not a browser tab
  • Every bride should get a tracking portal — without paying to unlock it
  • Alterations are a real part of your shop, not a line on an invoice
  • You want Tap to Pay and no hardware lease
  • You'd like your old data moved for free

CloudBridal is fine if…

  • You're happy running the shop entirely in a web browser
  • The bride portal isn't important, or you'll pay for the top tier
  • You mainly need stock + orders and light alterations
  • You're comparing purely on headline monthly price
