SetlistSync

Benefits for users

  • Collect requests in one place: Clients can submit songs through a branded page, reducing scattered emails and messages.
  • Set realistic expectations: Bands can flag songs as ready, in progress, or unavailable before the event.
  • Coordinate changes smoothly: Clients and musicians can stay updated when requests, setlists, or schedules change.
  • Plan events more efficiently: Bands can organize songs into sets and manage multiple events from one platform.
  • Work better as a team: Shared access helps band members coordinate, with subscription tiers that can grow alongside the band.

Ways to monetize

  • Monthly band subscriptions: Offer tiered plans based on the number of users, active events, and features such as setlist collaboration or client messaging.
  • Per-event plans: Let bands pay a one-time fee for a single wedding or event, appealing to groups that don’t need a year-round subscription.
  • Premium branding and client portals: Charge extra for custom domains, white-label pages, branded request forms, and advanced client-facing updates.
  • Paid add-ons: Sell optional features such as SMS notifications, calendar integrations, analytics, or expanded song and event limits.
  • Agency and multi-band plans: Offer discounted or premium plans for entertainment agencies managing multiple bands, with centralized billing and oversight.

Features

  • Branded Request Pages: Let clients submit song requests, must-play songs, and “do not play” tracks through a custom band page.
  • Song Library & Readiness: Track each song’s key, tempo, notes, and readiness status for every musician.
  • Setlist Builder: Arrange songs into sets, manage timing, and flag transitions, breaks, or special moments.
  • Client Collaboration: Let clients review proposed setlists, leave comments, and approve changes.
  • Musician Coordination: Share setlists and updates with band members, with change notifications and role-based access.
  • Event Management: Organize songs, schedules, contacts, and notes across multiple weddings or events.
  • Subscription Tiers: Offer plans based on event volume, team size, custom branding, and collaboration features.
