Getting started

Songboxer keeps your song catalog, setlists, practice schedules, and bookings in one place. You can start free — no card required — and add a band whenever you’re ready.

Sign up

Create an account from the sign-up page. After you confirm your email, we’ll ask what brought you in — playing solo, running a band, or joining one — and point you at the right first step.

If you play solo

The Personal plan is free, forever. Your first moves:

  • Add your songs — paste a whole list at once with bulk import.
  • Start a jam to instantly see which songs you and another player both know.
  • Browse rooms and open calls to message venues directly for solo bookings.

If you run a band

Creating a band is the one paid step — one admin per band subscribes, and everyone they invite uses Songboxer free. Once your band exists you can build your catalog, schedule practices, and share a single invite link with the whole group. See billing for what the plan covers.

If you’re joining a band

Ask your band admin for their invite link. Opening it adds you as a member — no payment, no separate setup.
