Pricing

Find musicians for free. Upgrade when it's time to run the show.

Posting gigs and hiring musicians is always free. Musicians can upgrade to get discovered by more artists, while artists upgrade for powerful tour-management tools that keep every show organized. Cancel anytime.

No booking fees. No commissions. No hidden costs.

WhoNeedsAGig never touches the money โ€” artists pay musicians directly. We just help you find each other and stay organized.

๐Ÿ‘‡ The plans below are what you pay after your free workspaces are used. Everyone starts with one free workspace; founding members get three. No card up front, and nothing expires โ€” an unused free workspace waits until you have a show worth running.

No credit card to start. When your free workspaces are used, it's $9 a show or $29/mo unlimited โ€” your ๐Ÿ† badge stays either way.

For musicians

Getting hired and playing the gig is always free. Boost your visibility only if you want to be found for new work.

Free

$0/month

Everything you need to get hired and play.

  • Full public profile: photo, bio, skills, references
  • Listed in the National Music Directory โ€” searchable by every artist, free
  • Apply to & accept gigs โ€” free
  • Get hired & do the gig โ€” charts, set list, details
  • Message artists ยท two-way ratings
Create free account

In plain terms: Free โ€” anyone who knows you, gets your link, or invites you can hire you, and you do the gig at no cost. Boost โ€” you also appear in the searchable National Music Directory, so artists and bandleaders who don't already know you can find and hire you. You only pay if you want that extra reach.

For artists & bandleaders

Your first show is free. If it saves you time, your next is $9.

Find local musicians, organize your charts, share your set lists, and keep your whole band on the same page โ€” from booking to showtime.

Posting gigs and hiring musicians is always free โ€” and so is your first full MyGig Workspace. No trial clock, no card. Run one show start to finish, then decide. Every musician you invite gets in free, always.

Free

$0/month

Find and hire local musicians โ€” for free.

  • Post unlimited gigs
  • Search musicians by city and instrument
  • Review applications
  • Hire your band
  • Basic messaging

  • Document vault โ€” W-9, contracts & receipts
Start free
Pay as you go

Per gig

$9/gig

Everything your band needs before rehearsal โ€” in one place. Bundles save more.

  • Upload charts
  • Reference tracks (link โ€” YouTube, Spotify, or your own)
  • Set lists
  • Rehearsal notes & room finder
  • Trip sheet & itinerary
  • Band messaging โ€” everyone stays in sync
  • Yours forever โ€” a workspace never expires

Running more than three shows a month? Unlimited costs less.

The real reason artists upgrade isn't storage โ€” it's peace of mind. Picture showing up in another city with no frantic group texts: "Did everyone get the charts?" "What's the call time?" "What key are we doing this in?" It's all already there. Your band shows up knowing the music, the schedule, and the plan. That's what you're really paying for โ€” showing up ready.

Founding members pay nothing during launch โ€” no card required. Paid plans open when billing goes live, and you'll lock in your founding rate then.

For theaters & organizations

๐ŸŽญ Run your whole production โ€” cast and band โ€” from one place

One workspace for the entire show: the company and the band, one schedule everyone confirms per date, scripts and charts together, one place to message everyone, and pay cast, band, and crew from a single view.

Theaters budget by the show, so the production add-on is priced per production โ€” activate a whole run the same way an artist activates a gig. Or go unlimited for the season.

Small run

$349/production

Community or one-weekend shows โ€” small cast, no live band.

  • Cast & company management
  • One production schedule, confirmed per date
  • Conflict sheet โ€” see who's out on which dates
  • Scripts, files & company messaging
  • Cast pay tracking

Flagship run

$1,500/production

Big cast, band & crew, long runs, or multiple venues.

  • Everything in Standard, plus:
  • Larger company & crew
  • Multi-venue support as you grow
  • Priority support
Best value

Season Pass

$3,500/year

Unlimited productions for one organization โ€” ideal for a theater doing 4+ shows a year.

  • Unlimited productions, all year
  • Everything in Flagship
  • Your whole Company Book & casting history in one place
  • Multi-venue add-on available

Why per-production? Because that's how theaters already budget. A serious production tool runs roughly $1,500โ€“$4,000 per organization a year โ€” a theater doing three or four shows at the Standard rate lands right in that range. You're paying to run your entire show โ€” actors and musicians, schedule, comms, and pay โ€” from one place, instead of stitching together spreadsheets, group texts, and email threads.

Founding theaters get launch pricing โ€” talk to us about your season. The public music side stays free and unchanged; the production tools live inside this add-on.

Common questions

Is it really free for musicians?

Yes. You can build a profile, search gigs, and apply at no cost. Premium adds priority placement, unlimited applications, profile photos, and video links.

What makes the MyGig Workspace different?

It's the shared hub for one show โ€” your band, charts, reference tracks, set list, travel, production, and pay in one place โ€” so the whole band shows up prepared. Think of it as a digital tour binder for every gig.

Will there be an app?

The site is mobile-friendly today, with native iOS and Android apps planned. Your account works the same everywhere.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes โ€” plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract.
