Why vendors switch
FestivalNet’s free Basic account leaves out full contact details, and Pro adds booth fees, how to apply, contact emails and phones, and insurance information. On Vendorbound, an event’s booth fee, deadline, dates, and address are on its public page, and a free account opens the organizer’s application and contact.
FestivalNet’s map view needs Pro. Vendorbound’s map is free and needs no account: filter it by type, dates, and whether an event is taking applications.
FestivalNet isn’t an application system, so you apply to each event on its own. Vendorbound fills in the organizer’s form with the answers you saved once: Google Forms and PDFs from the Vendorbound app, other web forms with its Chrome extension. You check it and send it. How the autofill works.
More than a list of events
The other sites stop at the listing. Vendorbound runs everything after it too, plus email campaigns and books that sync to QuickBooks.
Facts about FestivalNet come from its own pages, read in October 2026.
