RunTheBand vs GigPlanner

GigPlanner: Dutch calendar and availability tool for bands and agencies, with contract documents and e-signing. No invoicing or payments.

GigPlanner tells your band where to be. RunTheBand also sells the gig, invoices it and shows what it left you.

Pricing

GigPlanner starts at €5 a month (Lite). RunTheBand is €30 a month, everything included, month to month, with a 14-day free trial.

Why bands switch from GigPlanner

Great calendar, but no enquiry pipeline, no offers, no invoices, no payments and no musician fees. You still need a separate invoicing tool and spreadsheet.
