FestKit vs FestivalPro.
FestivalPro is a festival back-office suite: artist and lineup management, vendors, volunteers, crew and contractors, ticketing, forms, and invoicing.
FestivalPro matches FestKit's 2% payments fee and goes deeper on back-office logistics: artists, crew, contractors, and volunteers, not just vendors.
FestivalPro starts at $600 a year for one user. FestKit Free has no subscription, so the same $50,000 in vendor payments costs $1,000 all-in instead of $1,600. Spotlight costs $2,349 all-in for this scenario, but covers every event and teammate; FestivalPro's five-user Starter row is $2,980 for the same payment volume.

Where FestKit wins
- No subscription for listings, applications, and payments: FestKit Free is $1,000 all-in at this scale versus $1,600 for FestivalPro Entry.
- No per-seat or per-event pricing. $1,349 a year covers your whole organization; FestivalPro charges by user count.
- A visual, to-scale site plan editor as the core of the product, with vendor spots assigned on the map.
- A live attendee map and event feed included; FestivalPro is back-office software.
- Vendor billing that follows the real workflow: application fees, pay-now or pay-on-approval, deposits and balances, promo codes, and charges you add later for power or rentals.
Where FestivalPro is a better fit
- You manage artists, lineups, crew, and contractors in one system, not just vendors.
- You want included onboarding and consultancy sessions with regional support teams (US/UK/AU/NZ).
- You sell tickets through the same platform that runs your operations.
