# bzar vs Eventeny

Eventeny is a mature vendor-management platform with jurying, floor plans, ticketing and a mobile app, but its automations and advanced tools sit behind monthly plans. bzar gives organizers vendor applications, a booth map, booth payments, ticketing, check-in and email automations with no subscription, plus a built-in DMV audience.

## Choose bzar if

- You want to run your event without a monthly subscription or a per-event fee.
- You want emails to go out on their own when vendors apply, get approved, and before and after the event.
- You want DMV vendors and attendees who follow you on bzar to hear the moment you publish or open applications.

## Choose Eventeny if

- You run large juried art shows and need weighted jury scoring today.
- You also manage volunteers and sponsors in the same tool.
- You need a native organizer app today.
- You need a built-in local audience outside Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. bzar's organizer tools work anywhere in the US, but its community of vendors and shoppers is in the DMV.
