Vintique vs SimpleConsign vs Ricochet vs ConsignPro — a feature-by-feature comparison

Three platforms come up most often when an antique mall is shopping for software in 2026: SimpleConsign,^[1] Ricochet,^[2] and ConsignPro. ^[3] Vintique is the modern, web-based alternative to all three. This article puts the four side-by-side on the ten things that actually decide a switch.

We’ve tried hard to keep this honest. Where competitors do something well, we say so. Where a feature isn’t documented on a competitor’s public site or in their published materials, we say so plainly. The named platforms all have free trials of their own — run all three on the same week with the same imported CSV.

Quick table

The categories where Vintique stands apart

1. item lookup, three ways

Vintique is the only platform on this list with built-in item lookup against real comparable listings from Google Lens, eBay, and Google Shopping. Snap a photo at the counter, drag an image off any browser tab, or right-click any image in our Chrome side-panel extension — comparables come back in seconds, with a suggested price range. For a mall whose vendors regularly bring in unfamiliar finds from estate sales, this single feature pays for the subscription on its own.

2. Store-layout sandbox driven by real sales

A drag-and-drop floor planner that uses your actual sales data to suggest where to place booths. Sketch the mall, drop booths into spots, and see projected revenue impact before moving a shelf in real life. Useful for rotating power booths, planning a renovation, or onboarding a new vendor into the right corner of the mall. Not present in the named alternatives.

3. $0 per-transaction processing fees from us

Vintique deliberately does not process cards. You ring up the sale in Vintique; you charge the card on your existing terminal. That means $0 per-transaction processing fees from Vintique, no card data in our systems, and no PCI scope to add to your plate. Some competing platforms bundle payment processing and earn margin on every swipe — worth verifying during a trial.

4. iOS companion app on every plan

The Vintique iOS app is included on every plan, not gated to a higher tier. Booth owners see their sales, manage their own inventory, and snap an Identify photo from the aisle. Operators get the same dashboard and reports they use on the desktop, scaled for a phone. Pair a device with a one-time code from the web — no separate purchase, no per-seat fee.

Where the named alternatives may suit you better

We’re not the right answer for every mall. SimpleConsign has the deepest track record across the entire resale category and may have the integrations you need if you’re running a chain that combines antique-mall, thrift, and consignment formats under one parent. Ricochet has invested heavily in the cashier UX and may be a better fit if your bottleneck is purely register speed and you don’t need the Item lookup or layout sandbox. ConsignPro has decades of stability behind it and is hard to beat for a single-location consignment boutique that wants to stay on a Windows desktop.

How to actually pick

Open a free trial on the top two candidates on the same Monday morning. Import the same CSV. Ring the same five practice tickets. Run end-of- day reports and reconcile per vendor. The platform that handles a real Saturday on real data with the fewest workarounds is your answer.

Vintique trials are 45 days, no charge until day 46, cancel anytime. Bring your CSV. See current pricing.
