Updated October 2026
The short answer: Farmigo is focused CSA software that has served farms since 2009, priced at 2% of delivery revenue with a $150 monthly minimum in the months you deliver. GrownBy runs your CSA too, and adds an online farm store, an in-person register that takes SNAP/EBT, wholesale, customizable boxes, and free SNAP Online. GrownBy's CSA plan is $50/month plus a 2% co-op fee that customers can cover. When they do, GrownBy costs less than Farmigo. And GrownBy is owned by the farmers who use it.

Platform cost for a 6-month CSA season
This compares software and platform fees only (including GrownBy's $6/month Fortis payments fee), for a CSA that delivers six months a year. Card processing applies on both platforms and isn't included because Farmigo doesn't publish its rate.
Annual CSA sales | GrownBy, customers cover the co-op fee | GrownBy, 60% of customers cover it | GrownBy, farm pays it all | Farmigo |
$25,000 | $612 | $812 | $1,112 | $900 |
$50,000 | $612 | $1,012 | $1,612 | $1,000 |
$100,000 | $612 | $1,412 | $2,612 | $2,000 |
If your customers cover about two-thirds or more of GrownBy's co-op fee, GrownBy costs less than Farmigo, and you also get an online store, a register, and SNAP Online. If your farm pays every fee itself, Farmigo's platform cost is lower. Co-op members save 10% on the GrownBy plan.
Assumptions: sales spread evenly across six delivery months, regular (non-member) GrownBy pricing, and Farmigo's published pricing as of October 2026.
Where GrownBy stands out
More than a CSA. Sell eggs, meat, flowers, and add-ons year-round from the same store, ring up market sales on GrownBy Register, and sell to restaurants on GrownBy Wholesale, all with one inventory.
Customizable boxes matched to your harvest. If you only have carrots for half your members, GrownBy assigns them based on member preferences and prints individual packing sheets and labels.
Free SNAP Online for CSA shares. GrownBy was the first farm platform approved by the USDA for SNAP Online.
Customers can cover fees. Offer the co-op fee as an optional or required contribution at checkout.
You own it. GrownBy is run by a cooperative that its farmers control.
Where Farmigo may fit better
You only run a CSA and your farm pays all fees itself.
You run herdshares, which Farmigo supports directly.
You want zero cost in your off-season without changing plans.
