ManageMyMarket handles vendor applications, payments, and licensing for farmers markets. It works well for straightforward setups, but market managers running larger events or multiple event types often run into its limits.
Here are five alternatives worth looking at.
1. Events Near Me
Events Near Me is built for market organizers from the ground up. You get vendor applications, Stripe-powered payments, booth mapping, automations, and SMS texting for vendors who never check their email. There's also a built-in AI agent that helps you manage your market day to day.
The Free plan costs nothing to start, with a 3% processing fee. The Growth plan is $30 a month and drops fees to 1%, which adds up fast for active markets.
2. Marketspread
Marketspread is a full ManageMyMarket replacement. It handles applications, jurying, booth maps, invoicing, payments, and vendor communications in one place. It also works beyond farmers markets. Flea markets, street fairs, and trade shows all run on it.
3. MarketWurks
MarketWurks was designed specifically for farmers market managers. It covers the same core functions as ManageMyMarket and has a reputation for being straightforward to set up, even for smaller markets without dedicated tech support.
4. Google Forms
Google Forms won't give you a full management suite, but for markets just getting started, it handles vendor applications for free. Pair it with a spreadsheet, and you have a workable system until you're ready for a dedicated platform.
5. Eventeny
Eventeny covers vendor management, booth assignments, and payments across multiple event types in one account. A good fit if you manage a farmers market that also puts on seasonal festivals or other public events.
