VendorStreet vs Eventeny
Eventeny is an enterprise event suite; VendorStreet is an operating platform for recurring real-world businesses. Both take vendor applications and payments — they're built for different weeks of your year.
The short version
Eventeny is built for the big weekend: festivals with ticketing, sponsor CRM, volunteer departments, and seating charts. Plans run from a free tier to $240/mo (billed annually), with 3–5% transaction fees on top across all plans.
VendorStreet is built for the other fifty weeks: the recurring market, the weekly class schedule, the venue calendar. It costs $50/yr plus a flat $1–$2 per booking — no monthly plan, no percentage — with payments in your own Stripe account.
Pricing, side by side
| VendorStreet | Eventeny | |
|---|---|---|
| Base cost | $50/yr membership, everything included | Free–$240/mo annual ($360/mo monthly); admin seats add $8/user/mo |
| Per-transaction | Flat $2 per vendor booking (markets), $1 per booking/ticket elsewhere — pass-through allowed | 3–5% on tickets, 5% on marketplace sales, on every plan |
| A $40 booth fee costs you | $2 (or $0 — pass it to the vendor) | $1.20–$2.00 (3–5%) |
| A $400 sponsor-tier booth costs you | Still $2 | $12–$20 |
| Merchant of record | You, in your own Stripe account | Platform-processed payments |
Where Eventeny is genuinely ahead
If your event needs consumer ticketing at festival scale, sponsorship management, and volunteer coordination in one system, Eventeny has depth VendorStreet doesn't try to match: sponsor deliverables tracking, department-based volunteer scheduling, hardware rentals for the gate, ticketed seating at arena scale, and a mature mobile app. A 100,000-visitor festival is their home turf.
Where VendorStreet pulls ahead
- Costs that don't scale against you. Flat per-booking fees instead of 3–5% — the delta gets embarrassing on high-value booths and sponsorship-priced spaces.
- Built for recurrence. Season scheduling, per-date stall bookings, booking-level invoicing rules, and compliance tracking (insurance expiry, document reminders) designed for a market that happens every week, not a page you rebuild per event.
- Your Stripe, your money. Direct payouts to your bank, you as merchant of record.
- One membership, three journeys. Markets, bookable experiences (classes, tours, appointments), and ticketed venue seating under one roof — without festival-suite pricing.
- No seat math. Unlimited users on the $50/yr membership; no per-admin charges.
Who should pick which
Pick Eventeny for a large annual festival where ticketing, sponsors, and volunteers are the hard problems and a percentage of a big weekend is acceptable tooling cost.
Pick VendorStreet for recurring operations — weekly markets, class schedules, venue calendars — where predictable flat costs and owning your payment relationship matter more than festival-scale extras.
Run your own numbers
What would a season of booth fees cost you?
Booth-fee collection only, card processing excluded everywhere (every platform passes that through). Competitor rates are their published pricing as of August 2026, taken at the rate most favorable to them.
| Platform | Their pricing | Season cost |
|---|---|---|
| VendorStreet | $50/yr + $2 per vendor booking | |
| SeenMarkets | 2% platform fee (free plan) | |
| Eventeny | 3% transaction fee (their published floor) | |
| Marketspread | $15 per booth, per event |
- VendorStreet's $2 can also be added at the vendor's checkout instead of coming out of your booth fee.
- SeenMarkets' $99.99/mo Pro Plus plan drops their 2% to 0% — worth it above roughly $5,000/mo in booth fees, and the row above always shows whichever of the two is cheaper for your numbers.
- Marketspread is modeled as one sub-100-day event per season ($15/booth); seasons longer than 100 days are $30/booth. ManageMyMarket doesn't publish pricing, so it can't be modeled.
