Setlist Helper is a solid, inexpensive songbook for one musician — its own site says bands work best when everyone shares a single library. Bandloop is built the other way around: every member signs in to the same catalog, and the setlist, the gig, and the pay all live with the band.

One catalog, everyone signed in
Sharing one login across a band works until it doesn't — someone edits the wrong song, nobody knows which setlist is current. In Bandloop every member has their own account on the band's catalog: the setlist updates for everyone, each player keeps their own private notes, and gig confirmations land per person.
Where Setlist Helper may fit better
If it's mostly you and your songbook — ChordPro charts, a Bluetooth pedal to turn pages, and a library that works fully offline on your phone — Setlist Helper is cheap and does that well. Bandloop is the better fit once the whole band needs to see the same songs and setlists, and you want the gigs and the money in the same place.
Yes. Paste your song list — or export it to a spreadsheet and paste the rows — and Bandloop matches each one to the real recording, filling in artist, length, and BPM.
It's free to start for your whole band with no member cap: songs, up to four setlists at a time, gigs, venues, and the teleprompter. Pro is $7/month per band and adds the pay split, unlimited setlists, full gig history, setlist PDFs, and Google Calendar sync.
Yes — iPhone and iPad on the App Store, Android in beta, and the full app in any web browser. Everything syncs between them.
