Eventeny Alternative
Eventeny is an established platform with 31,000+ events across fairs, conventions, and festivals. If you're running a recurring farmers market or pop-up series and want AI-first vendor management with flat published pricing, Tentpole was built specifically for that.

If you run a 300-vendor commercial fair with hardware rentals and want a decade of platform history behind you, stay with Eventeny — that's the truth. This page is for organizers who run markets, craft fairs, or pop-ups and feel like their tool was built for a different kind of event.
Eventeny tiers vary by event. If you run multiple events a year, every event is a separate conversation. Tentpole publishes both prices — Core $150/month and Pro $300/month — and the same price covers every event you put on the calendar.
Eventeny serves fairs, conventions, festivals, and corporate trade shows. The platform reflects that breadth — features for things you don't need, missing things you do. Tentpole was built inside an active farmers market series, so every feature was tested on a real Saturday with real vendors before it shipped.
Eventeny does not have a comparable AI layer. Tentpole's AI scores applications against your event's category mix, drafts vendor reply messages trained on your actual writing voice, and auto-assigns booth maps without putting two of the same category side by side. The AI never sends or commits anything without you.
Eventeny's support is well-reviewed, but it's still ticketed support. Founding organizers on Tentpole get the founder's phone number, a vote on the roadmap, and a lifetime price lock.

Honest pricing. $150 or $300. The same whether you run one event or twelve.
Founder access. Real phone number, real responses, real roadmap input. Only available while we're early.
AI that learns your voice. Vendor reply drafts get sharper the more you use it. Nothing ever sends without your approval.
A platform that knows what a Saturday morning looks like. Built inside Sunny's Markets, where every feature passed the test of "does this survive a real market day."
"We talked to dozens of organizers running pop-ups, weekend markets, and multi-day festivals before we built a single feature. Then we kept talking."
— Moon, founder of Sunny's Markets & Tentpole
Eventeny is built for every event type from fairs to conventions, which means much of the product is not designed for the recurring vendor-based market format. Organizers who want AI-driven vendor scoring, transparent flat pricing, and a tool built specifically for markets and pop-ups often look elsewhere.
Tentpole has flat published pricing — Core $150/month and Pro $300/month. Eventeny uses quote-based pricing that varies by event size, so a direct comparison depends on your specific quote. Most market organizers find Tentpole comes in lower for recurring monthly use.
Yes. Export your vendor list and event calendar from Eventeny and import into Tentpole. Founding organizers get migration assistance directly from the founder.
Vendors apply through a link, so they don't need to learn a new platform. Tentpole's vendor application is shorter than most, and the vendor side is always free.
Tentpole supports both vendor-based events and ticketed RSVPs. It is purpose-built for markets, festivals, and pop-ups rather than corporate conventions or trade shows.
Sign up takes about a minute. Your first event can be live in eight minutes. The trial is seven days, no credit card.
