Clementine vs. Local Food Marketplace
Local Food Marketplace's smallest farm plan is $129/month billed annually, and Subscriptions & Farm Shares — the module that actually runs a CSA — is a separate $99 a month on top. That's $228/month, or $2,736/year, before you sign a member. Clementine is $169/year flat with the CSA workflow included.
The short version
Local Food Marketplace is built for food hubs: several producers under one storefront, named distribution days across many sites, SNAP/EBT, a year-round store. Farms running that get their money's worth. For a farm whose entire direct business is one CSA with fixed shares, Clementine does the weekly loop for about a sixteenth of the cost, and the CSA features aren't a paid module.

Local Food Marketplace pricing: Farm plans from $129/month billed annually, with the CSA module a separate add-on from $99/month on top
Export your members and share types from Local Food Marketplace and send me the CSV. I load members, share sizes, and delivery days; members get one email to put a card on file. Because LFM bills annually, most farms switch at renewal — I can have Clementine ready before that date so nothing lapses.
