What only StageCut does
Most band apps start from the music and add money later. StageCut starts from payday. These are the things it does that other band apps don't.
| Paying the band | StageCut | Other band apps |
|---|---|---|
| Members see only their own Total Paid, not the band's books | Yes | No |
| Band fund taken from every gig, as a percent or a flat amount | Yes | No |
| A member can take no pay and send their share to the band fund, without changing anyone else's cut | Yes | No |
| Flat pay for a sub or sound tech while everyone else splits the rest | Yes | No |
| A deduction taken from one member's pay only | Yes | No |
| Mark a member paid and their amount locks, even if the gig is edited later | Yes | No |
| Paid, owed and tax withheld tracked for every member | Yes | No |
| Year-End report per member for your CPA, with 1099 tracking | Yes | No |
| Band's books stay on your phone unless you turn on sync | Yes | No |

Payday is the headache
- You pay the band yourself and want it right to the cent
