FestKit vs Unite Worldwide.
Unite Worldwide is vendor-event management built around farmers markets: applications, booth payments, booth mapping, and automated vendor communications.
Unite gives every plan every feature, including booth mapping, and only varies the transaction fee: 5% free, 3% on Pro, 0% on Enterprise. Including the map on its free tier is a genuine advantage.
FestKit Free changes the math at every volume: 2% with no subscription against Unite's free 5%. On $50,000 of vendor payments, that is $1,000 through FestKit Free, $2,349 with unlimited-event Spotlight, and $2,500 through Unite's free tier.

FestKit Free includes the public listing, vendor applications, and payments with no subscription. Spotlight adds exact placement, vendor broadcasts, staff and attendee maps, schedules, live updates, and insights across unlimited events. The table shows its full annual workspace price. Both rows use the same 2% platform fee.
Where FestKit wins
- FestKit Free is the lowest-cost row at $1,000. Spotlight is $2,349 for unlimited events, $151 below Unite's free row at this volume.
- A to-scale site plan on real satellite imagery, not just booth-slot assignment.
- Attendee-facing surfaces: a live public map, event feed, and staff map, all published from the same plan.
- A permanent company record per vendor: cross-event history, participation, ratings, and private review notes instead of a fresh spreadsheet each season.
Where Unite Worldwide is a better fit
- Unite includes booth mapping on its free tier; FestKit Free includes listings, applications, and payments but not the live site map.
- Weekly or monthly recurring events with reusable setups and QR vendor check-in.
- You process very high volume year-round: Enterprise's 0% fee beats FestKit Spotlight above roughly $119K and FestKit Free above roughly $186K of annual vendor payments.
