Comparison
Eventeny is an established platform with 31,000+ events across fairs, conventions, and festivals. Tentpole is newer, smaller, and built specifically for markets and pop-ups — with AI at the core instead of bolted on. Here's the truthful comparison, including where they beat us.
| Tentpole | Eventeny | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Markets, festivals & pop-ups specifically | Every event type — fairs to conventions |
| AI copilot | Core of the product: application scoring, booth auto-assign with category spacing, reply drafts in your voice, one-button daily review | No comparable AI layer |
| Pricing | Public & flat: Core $150/mo · Pro $300/mo, 7-day trial | Quote-based tiers, varies by event |
| Vendor side | Free always — profile once, one-tap apply, waitlists, near-you discovery | Free to apply; large existing vendor network |
| Track record | New — founding organizers get a lifetime price lock and the founder's phone number | 31,000+ events, 2.3M+ users, years of reviews |
| Support | Direct line to the founder | Well-reviewed support team |
| Hardware / on-site rentals | Not offered | Available |
If you run a fair with 300 commercial vendors and want hardware rentals and a decade of track record, Eventeny is a safe, proven choice — that's the truth.
If you run markets or pop-ups and your real problem is the weekly pile — screening applications, drawing booth maps, answering the same vendor questions, chasing booth fees — Tentpole was built for exactly that pile, by someone who lived it, with an AI that learns how you run things. And while we're early, early means something here: lifetime price lock, the founder's number, and a vote on the roadmap.
