THEMANAGERS.LIVE
FOR SELF-MANAGED ACTS THAT BOOK THEIR OWN SHOWS

Need a manager but can't afford one?Get a pair of 'em for pocket change.

The Managers is Doc and Gus — the booking desk and the road manager you can't afford yet, built into one record of your people, your rooms, and every gig you've played.

Zero credit card • Start with your website or socials • Keep your core tools free

Meet the desk

Two voices, not a dashboard.

DOC — ROOMS & PEOPLE

Booking desk

Doc remembers every room, every contact, every "yeah, come back" — even the ones you forgot you had.

  • Your whole gig history in one record, so you stop losing rooms that already said yes
  • Walking into a market cold? Doc checks who you've shared a bill with first — "you opened for them last spring" is a warmer email than any cold pitch
  • Says "nothing on file" when that's the truth — never a confident guess about a room he doesn't actually know

GUS — ROUTE & MONEY

Road ops

Gus catches the run that quietly loses money before you've committed to it.

  • Real bands have driven 660 miles for two towns 30 miles apart, one trip at a time, and never noticed — Gus sees the whole map, not just tonight's show
  • Guarantee, door split and merch, kept as three honest numbers instead of one flattering estimate
  • Settlement that's a five-second look at the end of the night, not a scramble in the van

Built around how you actually work

One night. Out and back. A real run. Three different jobs — handled differently.

TYPE 01

One night

A single local show. The details stay straight — pay, load-in, who to ask — from the day it's booked to the night you play it.

TYPE 02

Out and back

A drive to a show and home the same night. The real question is whether the guarantee covers the trip — that math gets done up front.

TYPE 03

A real run

Multiple nights, multiple markets, real logistics. Every stop's settlement lives in the same record as the last one.

The magic starts the minute you create an account

Type your name in. Watch ninety seconds happen.

This is the first ninety seconds for a real touring act — real data, pulled live from public sources, before they've told The Managers a single thing about themselves. Everything below is what's waiting on the other side of that.

A real act's first ninety seconds

One real act. One name typed in. Watch what The Managers discovers about them.

doc and gus, working

Real act, real public sources. Beat timing is scripted for this preview; in the product each beat fires when a finding actually lands.

Beyond Doc and Gus

Everything a self-managed act actually needs to run itself.

Split the way the product actually works: what's free because it costs us nothing to give you, and what runs on credits because it does real work out in the world.

Included — free, unlimited
01

Just tell Doc what's going on

How the show went, or that you just got off the phone with a venue about a date next spring — say it like you'd tell a bandmate. No CRM, no fields to fill in. Doc knows what to do with either one.

02

Your whole calendar, never held hostage

Every date you've got, as far out as it goes — festival deadlines included. We never make you pay to see further ahead.

03

Split the door in five seconds, not fifteen minutes

Guarantee, door, merch — done at the end of the night, not argued about in the van. Free forever, because you'll use it every single show.

04

Your bandmates get a link, not homework

Address, load-in, set time, pay, the drive — one link, no login, no app to download. Nobody in your band ever pays a cent.

05

Skip the cold email — you already have a warmer one

See every act you've shared a bill with. "We opened for them last spring" beats any pitch that starts from zero — and it's free to see.

06

A free EPK and fan page, live at your own address

Bio, photos, music, and dates in one shareable link at yourband.themanagers.live — no credits, no subscription.

Credits required — included with Pro, or pay as you go
07

Find out which rooms are actually worth pitching

Before you spend an evening on an email that goes nowhere, Doc checks who books your sound and what the room actually pays.

08

Get a real contact, not a guess

Doc finds who actually books a room and how to reach them — never an invented email, never a guessed address.

09

Let Doc draft the pitch, you send it

A pitch written from your real history with that room or a shared bill — dropped in your clipboard, ready for your own email. Doc never sends anything on your own name.

10

Plan a run that actually pays for the drive

Multi-stop route planning, with the payout forecast matching what settlement actually shows once you've played it.

Pricing

Everything you need for tonight is free. Pro is for finding your next night.

All pricing below is a placeholder while we finalize it — not final, not billed today.

Free

$0/mo

Forever — this is the product, not a trial

  • Everything marked Included above — capture, settlement, planning, show sheets, the peer graph, your EPK and fan page
  • No credit card, no trial clock, nothing that quietly starts billing you

Want a credits-required feature without the subscription? Buy credits any time — see below.

Placeholder pricing

Pro — Tour Pass

$29/mo

Everything in Free, plus what it takes to book the next run

  • Everything marked Credits required above — scouting, contacts, pitch drafts, and multi-stop route planning
  • 250 credits a month included, so those features come with the subscription instead of paying per use
  • Bring your own domain for your EPK and fan page, with more ways to customize how it looks
  • First access when we ship something new
  • Everything in Free — nothing you already have gets taken away

Your own domain and page customization are the one thing credits can't buy — that part's subscription-only.

Your bandmates never pay, on either tier — that's a rule, not a promo.

Buy credits any time

On Free and don't want to subscribe? Pay only for what you use.

Credits unlock scouting, contact lookups, and pitch drafts a la carte — same currency Pro includes a monthly allotment of. No subscription required.

No commission, ever

The Managers never takes a cut of a booking. What you earn on a gig is yours, full stop.

You talk to people, not us

Doc and Gus don't send outreach on your behalf. They give you what you need to make the call yourself.

Honest when it doesn't know

"Nothing on file" beats a confident wrong answer — about a room, a contact, or your own history.
