What RunTheBand does

• Leads pipeline: every enquiry in one place, with follow-up reminders and the source of each lead.

• Invoices: deposit and balance invoices created from the signed contract, with VAT and a payment link.
• Musician lineups and deps: invite musicians per gig, see who confirmed, and track each musician's fee and the margin per gig.
• Call sheets: timings, venue details and contacts for every gig, shared with the lineup.
• Musician portal: musicians see their upcoming gigs, confirm availability and see what they are owed.
• Multiple acts: several bands or acts under one account, each with its own lineup and pipeline.
• Calendar and email: Google Calendar sync, and sending from Gmail or Outlook.

How RunTheBand compares

RunTheBand is the AI-first option among band tools. Back On Stage and Band Pencil are the closest band-specific alternatives; HoneyBook and Dubsado are general tools for creatives without lineups or deps. Prices and features side by side: all comparisons and best band management software in 2026.

What RunTheBand is not

• Not a marketplace: it does not find gigs or send you clients. It runs the bookings you get.
• Not a setlist or sheet-music app: tools like BandHelper do that, and many bands use one next to RunTheBand.

Free resources

• Stage plot maker: free, no account, PDF with input list
• Guides for bandleaders: contract, invoice and rider templates, pricing, deposits, paying band members

Machine-readable files

• llms.txt: summary for language models
