Bandloop vs the band spreadsheet

Your band outgrew
the spreadsheet

Almost every band starts with a Google Sheet: a tab for songs, a tab for setlists, a tab for gigs, and somebody's pay math at the bottom. It works — until the catalog grows, a second band shows up, or you're squinting at it on a phone at load-in. Bandloop is that sheet, built properly.

“Spreadsheet” = a typical band sheet in Google Sheets or Excel. Bandloop is not affiliated with Google or Microsoft.

The song library — the sheet's first tab, filled in for you

Bring the sheet with you

You don't start over. Copy the song rows out of Google Sheets or Excel, paste them into Bandloop, and each song is matched to the real recording with artist, length, and BPM filled in. From there your setlists, gigs, and pay math stop living in four tabs nobody updates.

When the spreadsheet is still fine

Spreadsheets are free, everybody already knows them, and they bend to anything. If one person runs the band, the catalog is small, and nobody needs it on stage, a sheet is honestly fine. Bandloop earns its place when several people need the same info at once — and on a phone at the gig.

Common questions
Can I import my band's Google Sheet?+

Yes. Copy the rows from Google Sheets or Excel and paste them into Bandloop's song import — headers like Title and Artist are picked up automatically. Each song is matched to the real recording so artist, length, and BPM fill in on their own.

Is Bandloop free like a spreadsheet?+

It's free to start for the 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.

Can I still print a setlist?+

Yes — Pro bands can print a setlist or save it as a PDF in one tap. And if you just need a quick printable list, the free Setlist Maker tool does it with no signup.
