Simple, separate pricing.
Musicians and bands are always free. Venues start with a 30-day free trial of Amplify Core, then one of two flat monthly plans per venue or location. Artist fees are never blended with your subscription.
Musicians & bands
Free
- Create and maintain a profile
- Receive invitations
- Manage availability, acts and line-ups
- Musician calendar and core administration
- No charge to apply for or accept a gig
- No percentage deducted from your advertised fee by Amplify
- Payout released within 24 hours of the venue confirming the gig's done — often the same night
Worked example: a £300 booking through Amplify today — you receive £300, in full. A £5.64 payment-processing charge applies to this booking, but the venue pays it — it's never deducted from your fee.
Faster than a standard invoice: for a digitally-paid booking, the venue’s payment is already held by Amplify before the gig even happens — so once the venue confirms it’s done, your payout goes out immediately, not after the weeks (or months) a BACS invoice can take.

Payments to musicians
Separate from your Amplify subscription — always.
Your own bank transfer, payroll or cash
Amplify records the agreed fee, due date and status. Either side can mark it paid. No booking commission is added.
Stripe Connect
Shows the artist fee, any disclosed processing charge, and the final amount before confirmation. Amplify takes payment from the venue and pays the performer out directly via Stripe Connect once the gig is confirmed complete — Amplify never stores your card or bank details itself.
Amplify's revenue model is the venue subscription above, not a cut of artist fees. We don't currently charge a payment-processing service fee on top of the artist's own fee, and we won't introduce one without showing it plainly before you confirm a booking.
Fair to musicians, by design
You set your minimum acceptable fee, maximum travel distance and the venues you don’t wish to work with. Amplify never invites you below your minimum, and never selects a performer just because they’re cheaper — there is no downward bidding.
The fixed artist fee stays visible throughout the invitation, acceptance, booking and payment process — what you're shown is what you receive, aside from any separately disclosed processing charge.
