Bandzoogle review and pricing: why musicians look for alternatives
Bandzoogle doesn't have a permanent free plan unless you're a registered music charity giving 100% of
proceeds to the community. Everyone else gets a 14-day free trial at a password-protected
yourprojectname.bandzoogle.com address (capped at 5 audio files and 10 mailing list messages per day),
and Bandzoogle only takes cards, not PayPal.
Specialty plans like the one-page EPK and Merch Table Lite start at $6.37 per month billed annually
($6.95 per month or $76.45 per year). Full website plans include a free .com, .net, or .org domain and
cost $9.16 per month billed annually ($11.00 per month or $111.00 per year) for Lite, $14.16 per month
billed annually ($17.00 per month or $170.00 per year) for Standard to sell physical merch, and $18.33
per month billed annually ($22.00 per month or $220.00 per year) for Pro to drop the Bandzoogle footer
link and sell digital files or tickets.
Bandzoogle vs Squarespace and Wix for full band websites and stores
For a full band store, Bandzoogle Standard ($14.16 per month billed annually) and Pro ($18.33 per
month billed annually) take zero commission on sales. They also build in Bandcamp Player, Bandsintown,
GigSalad quote forms, and on Pro, album pre-orders, download codes, and Luminate reporting.
Squarespace costs more at $19 per month for Basic (with a 2% store fee and card rates from 2.9% +
$0.30) and $29 per month for Core (no store fees), but adds memberships, paywalled blogs, Acuity
Scheduling, Invoicing, and Blueprint AI. Wix gives you a $0 Free plan, a $17 per month Light plan
(paid yearly) with 2 GB of storage and custom domain support, and a $29 per month Core plan for Basic
eCommerce alongside its built-in events, ticket, and RSVP tools.
When a simple band page on Heya, Carrd, or Linktree is enough
If you already sell merch on Bandcamp or Big Cartel, stream on Spotify and YouTube, and let venues
handle tickets, you don't need to pay for a built-in store. We built Heya for that: you can start
without an account, run up to 3 sites (5 pages each) on the $0 Free plan, or pay $6 a month on Pro
Standard to remove our badge and connect 1 custom domain you own.
Our band template includes home, new album, next 3 shows, full tour, and about sections, plus Spotify,
SoundCloud, and YouTube embeds and a countdown block. On Heya, you link buttons to your ticket pages,
store, and a Google Form or Tally form for sign-ups, whereas Carrd Pro Standard ($19 / year, accepting
PayPal and cards) embeds Mailchimp, Kit, Stripe, or Gumroad widgets, and Linktree's Free plan collects
emails and phone numbers.
