Comparison
Songtape vs BandMGT: which band app fits your band?
BandMGT is built around running a gigging band: a shared calendar with member blackout dates, setlists with BPM and key analytics, a venue book and per-member payouts. Songtape starts from the other end: each song with its lyrics, chords, tabs and demos, and then adds setlists, gigs, a technical rider and shared expenses around it.

you write and rehearse your own material and want each song's lyrics, chords, tabs and demos in one place, with setlists, a technical rider and expenses right next to it.
