Artistu reviews

Trusted by 100+ music agencies worldwide

Booking software,
built for music agencies

Booking agency software is the system music agencies use to run their roster, contracts, show advancing, and invoicing from one place instead of stitching spreadsheets, calendars, and inboxes together. Artistu replaces that patchwork with a platform built by people who book shows, used by 100+ agencies worldwide.

Made for the way agencies actually work

Whether you book DJs across a weekend circuit or coordinate touring bands across three territories, Artistu is shaped around the daily work of a booking agency. Not a generic CRM bent to fit.

Booking agents

Move offers from pencil to confirmed without losing track. Send contracts, chase deposits, and run advancing without leaving the platform.

Artist managers

Keep every gig, flight, hotel, and rider in one place. Share what artists need to see, keep the rest private to the team.

Agency owners

See the pipeline, the cash, and the team workload in one view. Per-agency pricing means you can add staff without renegotiating your subscription.

One pipeline, from inquiry to confirmed

Every booking has a status: pencil, hold, offer, confirmed, cancelled. Artistu tracks the whole lifecycle in one view, so you stop digging through email threads to find out where a deal stands.

Filter by artist, agent, territory, or date range. Set artist exclusivity rules and radius clauses so you never accept a booking that breaks an existing deal. Shared calendars sync to Google Calendar and iCal for the whole team. See how the booking pipeline works

Contract template with eSignature audit trail in Artistu, showing rider attachments, deal terms, and signature timestamps from agent and promoter

Contracts and eSignatures, sent in minutes

Build contract templates once with your branding, deal terms, and rider attachments. Send them straight from a booking, get them signed on phone or desktop, and store the audit trail with the deal.

Templates support multiple languages and currencies. Attach unlimited documents per contract. Track who opened what and when, no need for a separate eSignature subscription. See contracts and eSignatures

Invoicing that handles cross-border the right way

Generate invoices from confirmed bookings, set different tax rules per client country, and send Peppol-compliant e-invoices to clients that need them. Track partial payments and balances inside the deal.

Send statements monthly, quarterly, or yearly per artist or agent. Issue credit notes when needed. Connect with Stripe to accept online payments and reconcile inside Artistu instead of switching to your accounting tool. See invoicing and payments

Show advancing module in Artistu showing live flight data, hotel check-in times, ground transport pickup details, and stage technical specs in one view

Show advancing without the email chain

Artistu's advancing module is the most detailed in the category. Flights pull live data from the flight number, hotels track check-in and check-out, ground transport keeps driver and pickup time, and stage details cover backline, PA, lighting, and dressing rooms.

Promoters and tour managers get the access they need without seeing your finances. The artist sees only what's relevant on the mobile app, so the singer isn't reading your commission breakdown at 3am.

Set per-client tax rules, switch currencies per booking, send Peppol e-invoices to EU promoters, and translate contracts into six languages. Multi-territory work without multi-territory headaches.

What agencies say about switching to Artistu

“I am incredibly happy that we switched to Artistu. The system performs better than all the other platforms we’ve used before as an agency and management. What makes it even more impressive is that updates appear almost daily, which are not only improvements but genuinely innovative. So Artistu is not only effective, but also remarkably efficient. A powerful combination that makes working a lot more enjoyable.”

Raul
Clear Agency

“After having worked with Aboss for many years, Artistu was a program that required minimal change from me. I got used to the interface and way of working within just a few days. Since using the software, bookings have been created and sent out incredibly fast. Definitely recommended!”

Ivano la Sala
Agent for USH

“I play in local cafes and bars on a weekly basis. I used to keep track of my bookings in a spreadsheet so Artistu is a game changer for me.”

Julian Galbraith
DJ Julski

“When doing advancing for my artists I used to have to switch between different tools. Now I can do everything in Artistu.”

Mabel Schagen
Advancer

“I’ve been using Artistu for a few months now & I have seen insane improvements on my time management when it comes to agency bookings. It basically does everything for you & is so easy to keep track of all updates & advancements. Best in the business”
