KANEL vs Fleurop: an honest head-to-head for flower delivery in Switzerland

KANEL or Fleurop? In short: choose KANEL when you can plan at least a day ahead and want a bouquet hand-tied in a single workshop on the day it is delivered. Choose Fleurop-Interflora when the flowers must arrive today outside Geneva, when you need Italian, or when you want to pay by invoice. The two services work in completely different ways, and that difference matters more than the price.

KANEL vs Fleurop at a glance

Prices checked October 2026.

Two different models: workshop vs network

KANEL: one workshop, one standard

KANEL composes every bouquet by hand in its own workshop in Vernier, in the canton of Geneva, on the day of delivery. In Geneva, its own couriers drive the flowers to the door. Elsewhere in Switzerland, the bouquet travels in a box with a water reservoir and arrives the next day. Because one team makes every bouquet, what you see on the website is what KANEL itself produces.

Fleurop: a transmission network

Fleurop-Interflora is a network. You order on fleurop.ch, and the order is passed to one of more than 300 partner florists in Switzerland (40,000+ in over 150 countries). The local florist makes and delivers the bouquet. That is what makes same-day delivery possible almost everywhere, but it also means quality depends on the florist who receives your order. The photo shows a style, not an exact bouquet.

Why it matters: with a network, you are really choosing an unknown local florist. With a workshop, you are choosing one consistent team. Neither is wrong, but they suit different needs.

Real price, delivery included

Headline prices are misleading if you forget the fees. Here is what you actually pay for the cheapest option (October 2026):

Fleurop is cheaper on paper. But a CHF 35 bouquet is the minimum value: once the fee is added, a large share of what you pay goes to the service rather than the flowers. In its May 2024 survey, saldo concluded that “Fleurop ist am teuersten” (Fleurop is the most expensive), with price gaps of up to CHF 50 per bouquet across providers. KANEL’s entry price is higher, but the bouquet value itself is higher too. For a full breakdown of fees across the market, see how much flower delivery costs in Switzerland.

Delivery times and cut-offs

• KANEL in Geneva: same day for orders before 2pm, Monday to Saturday, with slots from 2pm to 5pm or 5pm to 8pm (and 9am to 2pm in some postcodes).
• KANEL elsewhere in Switzerland: next day, Tuesday to Saturday, for orders before 4pm the day before. Booking up to 15 days ahead.
• Fleurop: same day in most of Switzerland for orders before 3pm on weekdays and 1pm on Saturdays. The 90-minute express (CHF 38) covers more than 1,000 localities.
• Sunday: neither delivers.

If it is 11am on a Wednesday and the flowers must be in Bern this afternoon, Fleurop is the answer. If it is for tomorrow, or for Geneva today, KANEL is our choice. Our same-day delivery guide lists every cut-off in the market.

Reviews and consumer tests

KANEL shows 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 169 reviews, with 91 % five-star ratings, and 4.8/5 from more than 1,000 verified reviews on its own site. That is the best Trustpilot score among Swiss online florists.

Fleurop Switzerland shows 3.6 out of 5 from only 17 reviews. Seventeen reviews is a very small sample, so we would not read too much into it either way. Beware of the Fleurop profile with around 12,000 reviews and a score of 4: it belongs to fleurop.de, the German business.

On consumer tests, Fleurop was joint winner of SRF Kassensturz in February 2016 (5.3, with a CHF 65 bouquet plus CHF 19.80) and scored 83% in the SIQT test in 2017. These tests are now nearly ten years old. KANEL has not been part of any published consumer test, so there is no result to compare.

Payment and languages

• KANEL: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, TWINT and Alma (split payment). No invoice. Website in French, German and English.
• Fleurop: TWINT, cards, PostFinance and invoice. Website in German, French, Italian and English.

If you are ordering for someone in Ticino and prefer Italian, or your company pays by invoice, Fleurop has the edge.

Range: funeral, subscriptions, gifts

Both cover the main occasions. KANEL offers 12 funeral arrangements (CHF 155–1155, delivered free with two days’ notice), a flower subscription from CHF 59.90 per delivery including shipping, a corporate offer, and add-ons such as chocolates, candles, champagne and soft toys. Fleurop has the widest range in the market, a flower subscription, and its separate FleuropHOME shop for parcel gifts.

Verdict: KANEL or Fleurop?

Choose KANEL if:

• you can order by 4pm the day before (or before 2pm for Geneva);
• you want a bouquet hand-tied by one identifiable team, not an unknown partner;
• reviews matter to you: 4.8/5 on Trustpilot is the market’s best;
• you want to pay with TWINT or spread the cost with Alma;
• you are sending to Geneva, especially in the evening (5pm–8pm slot).

Choose Fleurop if:

• the flowers must arrive today outside Geneva, or within 90 minutes;
• you want the lowest possible entry price (about CHF 55 all in);
• you need an Italian-language site or invoice payment;
• you need a precise 30-minute delivery window.

For most planned gifts, our recommendation is KANEL. For a last-minute emergency outside Geneva, Fleurop does a job KANEL cannot.
