Comparison
VIBEPro vs Eventeny.
Eventeny has the most marketing muscle of anyone in or adjacent to this space. Modern branding, modern marketing site, modern pitch, and a transaction-fee pricing model that puts the platform in the money path on every sale. It's eating craft-fair, art-festival, and multi-day-event bookings at speed.
If you run festivals and craft fairs, Eventeny is probably your fastest path. If you run a weekly farmers or mixed market, there is a different shape of tool that fits better, with a different shape of pricing that keeps the platform out of your money path.
The short version
Eventeny is built for festivals and craft fairs with a transaction-fee model. VIBEPro is built for weekly markets with flat monthly pricing and no percentage on vendor payments.
Pick VIBEPro if
You run a weekly farmers or mixed market, you don't want a platform in your money path, and you'd rather pay a flat monthly fee than a percentage of every vendor payment.
Pick Eventeny if
You run multi-day festivals or craft fairs where ticketing and applications matter as much as booth assignments, and you're comfortable with transaction-fee pricing.

Feature-by-feature
Where the two tools actually differ.
| VIBEPro | Eventeny | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary market shape | Weekly recurring open-air markets, farmers markets and mixed vendor markets. | Multi-day festivals, craft fairs, art shows, and large one-off events. |
| Pricing model | Flat monthly, published. Grow / Run / Scale. VIBEPro never touches vendor money. | Free to start + a transaction-based fee (~3.5%) + per-transaction cost on payments the platform processes. |
| Are you in the money path? | No. You bring your own Stripe. Vendors pay directly to your bank. VIBEPro never holds funds. | Yes. Transactions flow through the platform, which takes a percentage. |
| Flexible fee rules (flat + sales-based) | First-class. Flat booth fees and sales-based percentages in the same workflow, with rounding rules. | The platform fee is on transactions the platform processes, not a fee-rule tool for the market. |
| Weekly recurring attendance | Every feature is built around the Saturday-morning cycle. | Optimized for event instances, not weekly recurrence. |
| Booth map assignment | Drag-and-drop live map. Save layouts, detect conflicts before Saturday. | Yes. Modern interface. |
| Document tracking | Expiration-aware alerts on insurance, permits, and licenses. | Document tracking present. Expiration-awareness not advertised as a headline feature. |
| Vendor communication at scale | 46,673 messages sent at 99.4% delivery across 57 production market days. | Communication features present. Public scale data not available. |
| UX and branding | Modern React web app, opinionated for the weekly-market shape. | Modern marketing and product. Best-in-class brand presence in the category. |

The money-path question
Who's in the money path between your vendor and your bank, and why that matters.
Eventeny processes transactions. That means when a vendor pays an application fee or a booth fee, the money flows through Eventeny's platform, which takes a percentage before the remainder lands in the event's account. That's a legitimate model, it's why their starter price is "free", but it means the platform's incentives are tied to transaction volume, and every dollar a vendor pays has a small piece that never reaches your organization.
VIBEPro doesn't work that way. Every market brings its own Stripe account. Vendors pay through Stripe using whatever methods you enable, and the money flows directly from the vendor to your bank. VIBEPro never holds funds, never routes money, never adds markup on Stripe's processor fees. We're software; we're not a payment processor. You pay us a flat monthly fee and we stay out of the money path completely.

Pricing, compared honestly
Transaction-fee pricing vs. flat monthly pricing.
Eventeny
Free + transaction fees
Free tier to get started, then a transaction-based fee (~3.5%) plus per-transaction costs on payments the platform processes. The more your vendors pay, the more Eventeny earns. Convenient upfront, variable forever.
VIBEPro
Flat, tiered, published
Grow ($149/mo, up to 30 vendors), Run ($325/mo, 31–75 vendors), Scale ($595/mo, 76–150 vendors). Flat. Predictable. No percentage of vendor payments. We never see the money.
See full pricing →Who VIBEPro is best for
- Weekly farmers or mixed markets, every Saturday, mixed roster of farmers + makers + prepared food
- Markets that refuse to give up a percentage of every vendor transaction
- Markets that charge their own percentage of vendor sales (which transaction-fee platforms can't really model)
- Organizations that want the platform out of their money path entirely
Who Eventeny is best for
- Multi-day festivals, craft fairs, art shows, and large one-off events
- Organizations that need ticketing alongside vendor management
- Events comfortable with transaction-fee pricing
- Organizers who want the strongest brand and marketing presence on day one
Eventeny is the most marketing-sophisticated player in the adjacent space. If you run festivals, you should at least demo it.
My vendors used to text me all week. Now they log in, see their spot, pay, and I don't hear from them until Saturday morning when we're setting up. It's the difference between running a market and being run by one.

Switching from Eventeny
We'll move your market-shaped data and get you off transaction fees.
What we migrate
Vendor list and contact info, application form, document records, and booth layouts.
What we rebuild
Your branded vendor portal at your own subdomain, your Stripe connection (so money flows directly to your bank), and your fee rules, flat, sales-based, or both.
How long it takes
Onboarding is a 4–6 hour founder-led setup. Most markets are running their first Saturday on VIBEPro within two weeks.
If your first scheduled market day on VIBEPro isn't better than the one before it, we refund your onboarding fee. That's the Market Day Guarantee.
Frequently asked
Common questions about VIBEPro and Eventeny.
- Is Eventeny a good fit for a weekly farmers market?
- Eventeny is built for multi-day festivals, craft fairs, and art shows. Its feature set and pricing model (transaction-based fees) are optimized for event instances, not weekly recurring markets. If you run a farmers market every Saturday with a largely consistent vendor roster, VIBEPro is a closer fit.
- How does Eventeny make money compared to VIBEPro?
- Eventeny takes a percentage of transactions the platform processes (around 3.5% plus per-transaction costs). VIBEPro charges a flat monthly subscription and never touches vendor money. Your vendors pay directly into your market's Stripe account.
- Does Eventeny support flexible fee rules for weekly markets?
- Eventeny's fee model is a platform transaction fee on payments it processes, not a tool for the market manager to configure flat booth fees or sales-based percentages for their vendors. VIBEPro supports flat fees, sales-based percentages, and combinations of both in the same workflow.
- Can I keep my own Stripe account with both tools?
- With VIBEPro, yes. You bring your own Stripe account and all vendor money flows directly to your bank. VIBEPro is never in the money path. With Eventeny, the platform processes transactions and takes a percentage before passing money to you.
- Is Eventeny better for craft fairs and festivals?
- Yes, honestly. If you run multi-day festivals or craft fairs that need ticketing alongside vendor management, Eventeny has strong coverage for that use case. It also has the best brand and marketing presence in the adjacent space. For that shape of event, it is worth a demo.
