Compare the Band
COMPLETE PRICING TRANSPARENCY

A low, transparent 10%. No hidden cut.

You always see the complete price before choosing an act. Bands set their own fee and receive that accepted fee in full.

FOR YOU

Your total includes everything.

Every quote shows your complete total: the band’s accepted fee plus our low, transparent 10% booking fee. The booking fee is retained by Compare the Band for providing the introduction and booking service.

  • The complete total is shown before you select an act.
  • Your stated maximum budget covers both payments.
  • No compulsory fee is added later in the booking journey.
FOR BANDS AND ACTS

Your quote means your fee.

You decide the fee you would genuinely accept for each event, including performance, travel, accommodation, equipment, services and declared crew. Compare the Band does not deduct its booking fee from your accepted quote.

  • Free standard listing and no charge for receiving a lead.
  • You receive your full accepted fee at the event.
  • The customer’s booking fee is paid separately to Compare the Band.

Premium Listings — £9.99/month · Coming Soon

Premium listings are not yet available. When launched, they will offer additional profile visibility. Premium is optional: a free standard listing can still receive suitable quote requests, and buying Premium does not guarantee enquiries, quotes or bookings.

Our promise

We will show you the complete mandatory price before you commit and tell acts exactly what they will receive. If our pricing model changes, we will update this page and present the applicable amount before any booking is confirmed.
