Clementine vs. GrownBy
GrownBy's CSA plan is $50/month ($540/year), and the co-op takes 2% of every card and ACH payment on top — about 5% all-in on a card once processing is counted. Clementine is $169/year flat and takes no percentage of member revenue at all.
The short version
GrownBy is owned by the farmers who use it — farmer-sellers hold 90% of the co-op and elect its board — and for a lot of farms that is reason enough. The trade-off is the 2% co-op fee on every card and ACH payment, on top of $540/year for the CSA plan. Clementine is $169/year and takes nothing from member payments, so the gap widens with every member you add.

Farmer-owned cooperative — farmer-sellers hold 90% of it and elect the board. A free plan for farms selling retail only, at a market or through a store. No co-op fee on cash, offline, or in-person Register payments. Member share customization, which GrownBy describes as a beta feature. CSA, wholesale, and retail in one tool on the Plus plans
$169/year flat vs. $540/year for GrownBy's CSA plan, before the co-op fee. No percentage of member revenue — card processing is the only deduction from a member payment. A farm delivering $10,000 a month hands the co-op about $200 of it; Clementine's fee doesn't move. Set up by me, personally — I'll load your share sizes and connect Stripe with you
