Running a DJ business means juggling inquiries, contracts, payments, timelines, music requests, and a dozen other moving parts — usually solo. Gigbuilder is a CRM built specifically for DJs and entertainment businesses to pull all of that into one place. Here's why DJs are switching to it.

1. It's built for entertainers, not retrofitted

Most CRMs are generic tools you have to bend to fit event work. Gigbuilder is the opposite: everything revolves around the event, with a booking pipeline made for how DJs actually work — Web Request to Lead to Pursued to Pending to Booked to Completed. Clients, venues, staff, contracts, and payments all connect back to the event.

2. AI tools that win and save time

This is where Gigbuilder pulls ahead. Two AI assistants come built in:

  • An AI Sales Assistant for your website that answers prospects, checks availability, and holds dates 24/7 — so you stop losing gigs to slow replies.
  • A personal AI Assistant that drafts emails, summarizes events, and answers questions inside the CRM — and can even be operated from ChatGPT or Claude through an MCP connection.

You can also generate on-brand AI images for your packages and event types with a consistent visual theme.

3. Everything a booking needs, in one place

Every plan includes the essentials that usually cost extra elsewhere:

  • E-signatures on contracts
  • Online payments and deposits (Stripe, Square, PayPal, and more)
  • Client portals where couples view event details, request songs, complete planning forms, and sign
  • Unlimited events, automated emails and texts, timelines, and reporting

4. Zero transaction fees

This is a big one. Many booking platforms take a cut of every payment you collect. Gigbuilder charges a flat monthly fee and zero transaction fees — the money your clients pay is yours. Over a busy season, that difference adds up fast compared to tools like HoneyBook or Check Cherry that skim a percentage.

5. Honest, simple pricing

Plan Price Highlights
Basic $25/mo Full CRM: events, payments, e-signatures, client portals
Pro $35/mo Everything in Basic plus the AI Assistant and AI Sales Assistant
Premium $50/mo Everything in Pro plus faster AI model versions

Annual billing saves 15%, and there are no transaction fees on any plan.
