Comparison

VIBEPro vs Manage My Market.

Manage My Market has served farmers markets since 2003 and says it has customers in all 50 states, Canada, the UK, and Australia. It is the established option. If you're here, you may be considering a switch or comparing systems for the first time and want a straight answer instead of a feature-counting contest.

This page is that straight answer. Where Manage My Market is a better fit, we'll say so. Where VIBEPro is, we'll show you why, with operational data from continuous, live weekly market production.

The short version

Both are market-specific systems. The practical choice comes down to operating model, price transparency, branding, and weekly workflow.

Pick VIBEPro if

You want published pricing, a branded vendor subdomain, mixed flat and sales-based fee rules, and founder-led migration.

Pick Manage My Market if

You value a platform operating since 2003, a reusable central vendor profile, broad geographic reach, and public map and product-search tools.

Pick a spreadsheet if

You enjoy texting 60 vendors on Friday night and sorting paper on your dining room table. We're kidding. (Mostly.)

The bigger difference

The meaningful difference is operating model and focus, not who can list the most features.

Manage My Market has been running since 2003. That longevity is real, and for many markets it is a feature in its own right. Its public site describes applications, stall assignments, accounting, analytics, interactive maps, product search, license reporting, and several payment processors. If your team and vendors already know it, the cost and disruption of switching deserve serious weight.

VIBEPro was built in 2025 for how a weekly market actually runs today. A mobile-first vendor portal at your own branded subdomain. A drag-and-drop booth map that updates live as vendors confirm. Document tracking that nags vendors before their insurance or permits lapse. One-message communication that reaches every vendor attending this Saturday with delivery confirmation. Flexible fee rules, flat or sales-based or both, in the same workflow. Every feature exists because live market operations demanded it on real Saturday mornings.

Pricing, compared honestly

A current quote vs. a flat, published monthly fee.

Manage My Market

Current price not published

Manage My Market does not publish current pricing on its public website. Ask for a written quote that covers applications, active vendors, locations, payment processing, implementation, support, and renewals so you can compare the full annual cost.

VIBEPro

Flat, tiered, published

Grow ($149/mo, up to 30 vendors), Run ($325/mo, 31–75 vendors), Scale ($595/mo, 76–150 vendors). Every tier includes every feature, no gating. Vendor count can grow without your price surprising you.

Who VIBEPro is best for

  • Weekly markets running 20–200 vendors on a mixed roster of farmers, makers, and prepared food
  • Markets that want a drag-and-drop booth map as their actual operations tool, not a decorative embed
  • Markets that need flexible fee rules that fit how they actually bill vendors
  • Managers who want to see software pricing before a sales conversation
  • Markets that want a branded vendor portal under their own subdomain

Who Manage My Market is best for

  • Traditional farmers markets that have been running on Manage My Market for years and are happy with it
  • Markets outside the US where Manage My Market's international footprint matters (UK, Canada, Australia)
  • Organizations that want vendors to maintain one central profile and apply across participating markets
  • Organizers who value an interactive public map and product search
  • Markets that want PayPal, Square, or Stripe transaction recording in the system

If that sounds like you, Manage My Market will probably serve you fine. We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one and churn.

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.

MICHELLE, MARKET MANAGER

Switching from Manage My Market

We'll walk your market from the old tool to the new one ourselves.

What we migrate

Vendor list and contact info, historical attendance if you have it, booth layouts, document records, and your application form.

What we rebuild

Your branded vendor portal at your own subdomain, your Stripe connection, and any custom 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 of saying yes.

And because we believe in the product: 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, in place of a traditional free trial that doesn't really fit how weekly markets work.

Frequently asked

Common questions about VIBEPro and Manage My Market.

How much does Manage My Market cost?
Manage My Market does not publish a standard current price on its public website, so the honest answer is that you need a quote. Ask for the total annual cost in writing, including applications, active vendors, locations, implementation, payment processing, support, and renewal charges. VIBEPro publishes flat monthly tiers at $149, $325, and $595 based on active vendor count.
Can I import my existing vendor list from Manage My Market?
Yes. We migrate your vendor list, contact info, and any historical records you can export during onboarding. Most markets are fully transferred within two weeks. You do not need to re-enter vendors by hand.
Does Manage My Market support flexible fee rules like VIBEPro?
VIBEPro explicitly supports flat fees, sales-based percentages, and combinations of both in one workflow. Manage My Market's public materials describe accounting, payment recording, and automatic charging, but do not document that exact mixed-fee scenario. Bring your actual fee schedule to a demo and ask them to configure it.
Which is better for a weekly farmers market?
It depends on your operating model. Manage My Market brings a long track record, reusable vendor profiles, license reporting, stall assignments, and public discovery tools. VIBEPro is a strong fit when you want published pricing, a branded subdomain, a live drag-and-drop operations map, expiration-aware reminders, and explicit mixed fee rules. Demo your real Saturday workflow in both.
How long does switching from Manage My Market to VIBEPro take?
Onboarding is a 4 to 6 hour founder-led setup session. We migrate your vendor data, rebuild your booth layout, and connect your Stripe account. Most markets run their first Saturday on VIBEPro within two weeks of signing up.
What is the Market Day Guarantee?
If your first scheduled market day on VIBEPro isn't better than the one before it, we refund your onboarding fee. It replaces the standard free trial, which doesn't fit how weekly markets work (you can't test a Saturday without running a Saturday).
