Band
Band leaders
You book it, you get paid, you pay everyone else.
- Split every gig with tax, band fund and mileage your way
- Members see only their own pay
- One subscription for every band you lead
Who it's for
One app for every way you get paid to play
StageCut started with one band leader paying everybody at the end of the night. But he doesn't only play in a band. He runs sound, plays solo, hosts karaoke and DJs, so StageCut covers all of that work, and anyone whose calendar looks like his.
Acoustic
Solo and duo acts
Brunches, patios, wineries and the quiet sets in between.
- Works just as well with a roster of one
- Track mileage and gear costs against every show
- See what acoustic work earns next to everything else
Karaoke
Karaoke hosts
Weekly residencies that add up faster than you think.
- Every night logged against its venue
- Recurring costs like song subscriptions in band expenses
- Know which rooms are worth the drive
DJ
DJs
Weddings, parties and club nights, often booked by the client, not the venue.
- Client history kept for the next booking
- Agreements and invoices from the same gig
- Totals by client, so repeat business shows
Sound
Sound engineers
Running the board for other acts is income too.
- Tag production work separately from playing
- Flat pay for crew alongside the band's split
- Mileage and gear costs where your CPA can find them
All of the above
More than one hat
Friday with the band, Saturday hosting karaoke, Sunday behind the board.
- One calendar for every kind of gig
- One set of books for all of it
- Totals that show which hat pays best
Know where your money comes from
Every gig tagged. Every total separated.
Give each gig a category (Band, Acoustic, Karaoke, DJ or Sound) and StageCut shows what each kind of work brings in. It also totals what you've earned at each venue and from each client, so you can see which rooms and which people keep you working.

More than the money
The paperwork and the promo, too
The jobs around the gig that usually live in five different apps, a notes file and a shoebox.
- Contracts
- Write a performance agreement for a gig, covering the date, the venue, the times and the fee, so everyone signs off on the same terms.
- Promo that sells the show
- Get hype copy for the gig, ready to post on Facebook, Instagram and anywhere else your fans follow you.
- Gig banners
- Pick band photos, a venue photo and your logo, and StageCut writes the banner brief. Send it to the AI image app you already use to build a graphic sized for social media.
- Venue and client history
- Every venue and client you book is saved automatically, so they're already there the next time they call.
- Invoices
- Bill the client from the gig itself, with your payment details on it.
- Stage plots
- Lay out who stands where and save it for the next room.
Built from the gig up
Made by someone who does the work
Every feature started as a real problem on a real night: a split that didn't add up, a client who booked again a year later, a banner due before the weekend. That's why StageCut covers the whole job, not just the band.
