App comparisons & alternatives

A current-generation GigBook alternative

Players moving off older gig-book style apps usually want three things: an actively maintained app on modern iPadOS, sharing that works for a whole band, and page turning that does not need a spare limb.

Import the book you already built

Export your charts as PDFs and import them in bulk; automatic title and composer extraction rebuilds the index without manual typing.

Setlists for working bands

Order tonight's material and read it as one continuous document. Pro removes the setlist limit and syncs the order to every device.

Shared charts

Band sharing distributes the same charts and markings to every member by scanned code, so the horn section and the rhythm section read the same cuts.

Try it on your own scores

Import PDF scores, add annotations, build setlists and turn pages hands-free. StageMate is available for Apple devices and Android. Features, cloud services and Pro purchases differ by platform; check the current plan before buying.
