A Simple, Modern Alternative to Weedmaps for In-Store Menus
Trikome is a simple, modern alternative to Weedmaps for dispensaries that want full control over their in-store menu experience. While Weedmaps is a marketplace designed to help customers discover dispensaries and browse menus online, Trikome focuses on making your in-store menus easy to control, update, and display across screens.
At a glance
Why choose Trikome over Weedmaps
Weedmaps is a discovery and marketplace platform. It connects cannabis consumers with nearby dispensaries, allowing them to browse menus, compare products, read reviews, and place orders where available.
For dispensaries, Weedmaps is primarily a visibility and marketing channel. It helps you get discovered, promote deals, and drive traffic to your store or delivery service.
Trikome takes a completely different approach. Instead of focusing on online discovery, it improves your in-store experience. You can create digital menu boards, organize products into collections, and push updates instantly to every screen — without relying on marketplace listings or external platforms.
This gives you full control over how your menu looks and behaves inside your store. You're not sending customers to a third-party app — you're managing your own environment, with real-time updates across all screens.
In short, Weedmaps helps customers find your dispensary online, while Trikome helps you present your menu clearly and consistently inside your store.
Weedmaps gets customers to your door. Trikome gets them to the counter.
Discovery is half the battle. Conversion is the other half. Trikome turns your dispensary into a premium retail experience that maximizes every visit — while Weedmaps keeps bringing new customers through your door.
Where Trikome is stronger
Your brand, not a directory brand
Weedmaps menus carry Weedmaps branding. Trikome displays show only YOUR brand — your logo, your colors, your typography. Your customers see your dispensary identity, not a third-party marketplace.
Free to start — no listing fees, no commissions on display
Weedmaps charges listing fees and order commissions. Trikome is free to start and charges no commission on anything — you keep 100% of what you sell.
TV-native ambient displays vs web-based menus
Weedmaps menus are built for web browsing on phones and computers. Trikome menus are built for large-format TV displays — auto-rotating pages, large product images, and layouts designed for reading across a room.
Independent of your directory and POS choices
Trikome works with any POS and any online listing platform. If you ever move from Weedmaps to another directory, your in-store displays continue without disruption. No single-vendor dependency.
Showcase what matters — not just what's in stock
Trikome lets you curate what customers see: featured collections, staff picks, new arrivals, and promotions. Weedmaps shows inventory. Trikome tells a story about your products.
