Is Distru a direct Growflow alternative?

Yes, with a difference in focus. Growflow is built for retail-first operators, dispensaries, cultivators, and smaller-to-mid operations who want a quick setup. Distru is built for the full supply chain: cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, and MSOs who need advanced manufacturing, deep wholesale workflows, and a native B2B marketplace. If your operation is growing in complexity, that's where the gap shows up.

Can I use Distru and Growflow at the same time?

Technically yes, but running two systems means duplicating compliance records, inventory management, and order data across two platforms. Most operators who evaluate both end up choosing one and migrating fully. If you're mid-contract with Growflow, the Distru onboarding team can help map out a clean transition.

Does Distru charge the same way as Growflow?

Growflow doesn't publish pricing publicly. Distru uses flat subscription pricing with no per-order fees and no commissions, and CRM, delivery routing, and the B2B marketplace are all included. Growflow requires separate tools for those, and each one carries its own monthly cost.

What's the real difference between Distru and Growflow?

Distru is the only cannabis platform that combines a full ERP with a B2B wholesale marketplace, built for manufacturers, distributors, and MSOs. Growflow is a lighter, more retail-focused platform, faster to set up but shallower on manufacturing depth and sales operations. On top of that, real operators on G2 rate Distru #1 for ease of use in cannabis software and 10/10 for customer support. For operators who need production, compliance, and wholesale commerce running together, that difference matters.

Does Growflow replace a full cannabis ERP?

Growflow covers cultivation, distribution, and POS with METRC compliance reporting, and it works for retail-first operators. Where it gets thin is in manufacturing depth and sales operations. Advanced BOMs, multi-ingredient production, and COGS tracking aren't fully supported. There's no native CRM, and delivery routing requires Onfleet. For operators who need a complete manufacturing and commerce layer, those are real gaps.

Why would I switch from Growflow to Distru?

Three reasons come up most often. First, ERP depth: as operations get more complex, more locations, more manufacturing, more wholesale accounts — Growflow starts to show its limits. Distru is built to handle that complexity natively. Second, tool cost: Growflow requires separate subscriptions for CRM and delivery routing, and those add up. Third, the commerce gap: Distru is the only cannabis ERP with a B2B wholesale marketplace built in, connected to real-time inventory across your full operation.

Distru vs Growflow | Wholesale Marketplace & Full ERP

why operators choose distru

Four reasons operators choose Distru over

Growflow

Both platforms handle compliance and operations. Here's where Distru pulls ahead.

Wholesale workflows

Built for wholesale

Wholesale is one of Distru's core strengths: native B2B marketplace, AI-powered order intake, and live inventory menus built to move product. Growflow's wholesale layer is included but not the platform's main focus.
