Vendorbound lists more US events than VendorsMap, and a free account opens every organizer’s email and phone, which VendorsMap keeps for paying members. Then Vendorbound fills in the organizer’s form and runs the rest of your business: your website and shop, a post for every show, and your sales by event.

Why vendors switch
20,076 published US events in all 50 states. 9,934 of them are taking applications right now. That’s the largest catalog of US vendor events: VendorsMap’s 21,100+ include 1,298 in Canada. On VendorsMap, the organizer’s email and phone are for paying members. On Vendorbound, a free account opens them on every event where the organizer published them.
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.
VendorsMap stops at the listing and a shop on your profile. Vendorbound also runs your own website and shop, a Facebook and Instagram post for every show, your Square, Shopify and Etsy sales matched to each event, your email list and your books in QuickBooks.
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.
