Vintique vs SimpleConsign, Ricochet and ConsignPro

By Colin King, founder of Vintique. My wife, Madeline, and I co-own West Michigan Antique Mall, where we use Vintique. This is our product’s perspective; our mall is a founder-owned operating example.

The case for Vintique

An antique mall needs the sale to stay connected to the dealer. Vintique carries that relationship through inventory, the register, rent records and statements. Start with an unfamiliar item, use photo research to review comparable listings, save the item to the right booth and print its tag. Dealers can manage their inventory and see their own sales; staff can prepare the next shift and check the month-end records in the same platform.

That is the workflow to evaluate. A browser register or vendor login alone does not distinguish these products: SimpleConsign and Ricochet also provide those capabilities. Vintique’s case is the combination of dealer tools, day-to-day mall operation and a subscription that scales with your vendor count.

What the regular prices mean for a mall

Monthly USD, checked September 14, 2026. This compares software subscriptions; it does not assume identical features, onboarding or payment arrangements.

SimpleConsign also publishes Basic, Standard and Professional resale plans; using their lowest price as the price of Vendor Mall Plus would misstate the comparison.^[1] Its mall package advertises automated rent, vendor access, a floor map and managed onboarding.^[2]

At regular rates, Vintique Unlimited is $210/month below Vendor Mall Plus and $30/month below Ricochet. During Ricochet’s $159 introductory period, Vintique Unlimited costs $10/month more. Ricochet also advertises a webstore offer; get the post-offer cost in writing if online selling matters.^[3]

Smaller malls can start with Vintique Solo at $29/month for up to five active vendors, Starter at $49 for up to 15, or Growth at $89 for up to 35. See current plans and support inclusions. Pro is contact sales; multi-location support is planned.

SimpleConsign: compare the mall package you would buy

SimpleConsign is worth evaluating if its Vendor Mall Plus package, onboarding and advertised workflows match your operation. Do not credit Vintique with exclusive vendor portals, automated rent or photo item entry merely because an older comparison omitted a competitor’s features.

Use the detailed SimpleConsign comparison to test what Vintique’s lower regular subscription buys your mall: item research, dealer inventory, work schedules and an end-to-end register and settlement routine. Confirm which SimpleConsign tools are included and available in the quoted plan; the vendor’s page also labels some features as coming soon.

Ricochet: include the webstore and dealer experience

Ricochet combines cloud POS with consignor access, and Ricochet Go provides mobile access for consignors.^[4] If you rely on an online store, compare that workflow explicitly. Vintique’s public catalog and listing drafts are useful for sharing inventory, but are not a replacement for an integrated online checkout, shipping workflow or automatic marketplace synchronization.

Vintique gives physical malls a reason to try a different approach: dealer inventory and tags, photo research, schedules and the register together. See the Ricochet comparison and try those jobs with your staff before making a move.

ConsignPro: prepare a supported next step

The current ConsignPro site says service ended June 30, 2026, and points users to SimpleConsign.^[5] That is a reason to review your options now; it is not evidence that every locally installed copy has stopped working.

Preserve backups and the reports used for dealer balances, gift cards, rent and settlements. Confirm how you can access and export your records. Then compare a move to SimpleConsign with a Vintique trial on representative data. Neither a successful import nor a familiar register proves that every opening balance is correct.

Run one complete rehearsal

1. Add several items from different dealers, including an item with an existing tag.
2. Ring a multi-booth sale, a discount and a return. Review the dealer allocation.
3. Post rent and an adjustment, then compare the resulting statement to your records.
4. Have a dealer and a cashier perform their own routines on the devices they use.

Check card equipment separately. A compatible standalone terminal can run alongside Vintique with manual tender entry; integrated readers require a setup review. Photo lookup returns comparable listings for your judgment, not a guaranteed valuation or a sold-only dataset.

Plan a switch from SimpleConsign, get help moving from Ricochet, or email Colin about ConsignPro. We will review your records and agree the next step before you choose a date.
