BandHelper is a deep, low-cost toolkit for gigging musicians. Bandloop covers the same core — setlists, multiple bands, per-vocalist keys — and does the post-gig money better: a one-tap pay split and an automatic 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 when the show's over, Bandloop does the money better. BandHelper can track expenses and payouts, but you set that up yourself; Bandloop is built for the band split: divvy a night's pay in a tap, cover shared costs, and reserve a percentage for taxes automatically — free.
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.
BandHelper can track expenses and calculate payouts, but you build that yourself out of its general finance tools. Bandloop is purpose-built for the band split: divvy a night's pay across members in a tap, cover shared costs and reimbursements, and automatically reserve a percentage of each payout for taxes — something BandHelper leaves entirely to you. And it's free to start rather than trial-only.
