Get Tour Manager – Free Version or Upgrade at Special Launch price $39
Launch offer: $39 one‑time for all updates up to version 2.0. Price going up to $99 soon.
What Tour Manager does for your band
- Plan tours with a clear list of dates, cities, and venues in one place.
- Keep show details (load‑in, set time, contacts, notes) out of messy group chats.
- View everything on a calendar so the whole band knows what’s coming up.
- Run it all from your own WordPress site – no extra SaaS logins, no rented platform.
You’re not buying “yet another subscription”; you’re upgrading your band’s own site into a real tour HQ.
Start free. Upgrade when touring gets serious.
You can try Tour Manager for free on your band’s WordPress site before spending a cent. The free version is enough to run a small run of shows or a test tour, and when you’re ready to scale up, the paid version unlocks unlimited touring.
| Free version | Paid version (launch: $39) | |
|---|---|---|
| Tours | 1 active tour at a time | Unlimited tours |
| Setlists | 1 active setlist at a time | Unlimited setlists |
| Show details & notes | Included | Included |
| Calendar view | Included | Included |
| Updates | Bug fixes for the free version | All updates from 1.0 through 1.9 |
| Price | $0 | $39 launch (then $99) one‑time |
Pay once. Tour for years.
Most bands can start with the free version of Tour Manager: one tour and one setlist at a time, perfect for trying a short run of shows or a test weekend. When you’re ready to plan multiple tours, keep different setlists around, or invest in long‑term updates, you can upgrade once and use Tour Manager 1.x for years.
Launch offer:
- Launch price: $39 one‑time
- Includes: All updates from version 1.0 through 1.9
- License: Use on one band/site (self‑hosted WordPress)
- No: Monthly fees, yearly renewals, or seat‑based pricing
When Tour Manager hits version 2.0, it will be a big enough upgrade that it needs fresh investment – so 2.x will be a separate purchase. Your 1.x license will keep working as long as your WordPress does.
This $39 launch price is a limited offer. The regular price will be $99 for the same 1.0–1.9 license, and that’s where it will stay once the launch window closes.
Why not a subscription?
Most tour management platforms are SaaS products that bill you every month, which adds up fast for indie bands. Tour Manager uses a one‑time license because it’s built like traditional software: you own your WordPress site, you own your plugin, and you decide when to upgrade.
| Typical tour tools | Tour Manager |
|---|---|
| $30–$100 per month per band or user. | One‑time $39 launch price (later $99). |
| Data locked in someone else’s platform. | Lives on your own WordPress site. |
| Lose access when you cancel. | Keep 1.x forever on your site. |
| Complex subscription tiers. | One clear license: 1.0–1.9 updates included. |
What happens at 2.0?
Tour Manager 2.0 is planned as a major upgrade – new capabilities big enough that they fund the next chapter of development. When 2.0 lands, it will be a separate product/upgrade you can choose to buy into.
- Your 1.x license stays valid; you keep using it as long as it works with your stack.
- You’ll get every 1.x bug fix and improvement at no extra cost until 2.0 ships.
- If 2.0 fits your band’s needs, you can invest again – no pressure if 1.x already works for you.
