BandHelper is a deep, low-cost toolkit for gigging musicians. Bandloop covers the same core — setlists, multiple bands, per-vocalist keys — and adds built-in gig-pay splitting with a tax set-aside, free to start.

The core, free — plus the money
You get setlists, multi-band organization, and per-vocalist keys without a trial clock — and Bandloop also handles the post-gig money: split the pay, cover shared costs, and set aside tax in seconds. That's the part most band apps leave to a spreadsheet.
Where BandHelper may fit better
BandHelper is genuinely strong and inexpensive for power users — deep per-song chart layouts, fine-grained transposition and capo handling, and years of performance-focused features across native apps. If you want the most granular on-stage chart control and don't need a free plan, it's a great pick.
Yes — Bandloop is free to start, with no trial clock. Sign in with Google, add your band, and build setlists, track gigs and venues, and split gig pay right away. BandHelper is trial-only (a 30-day free trial, then paid by band size).
Yes. Bandloop is built for musicians in several projects — switch between bands, see all your gigs on one calendar, and keep each band's songs and setlists separate but a click apart.
The big one is money: Bandloop splits gig pay, tracks shared costs and reimbursements, and sets aside tax automatically. It also starts free rather than trial-only. BandHelper tracks income and expenses but doesn't split payouts or handle a tax set-aside.
