BookLive Reviews 27

Booklive is essential for Professional Gigging Musicians. It keeps me organized, and it helps keep my business workflow on track. The automated emails that are sent to clients are helpful, and they give me more time to focus on making music. I love being able to create a contract and send it to my clients, manage timelines and playlists, and even manage invoicing from the platform. Clients love using it, too, and mention how professional and easy to use it is. It's a one-stop shop - no need for too many different tools to manage my business. Thank you, Booklive!

Despite doing a consultation first, Jared is just a high pressure sales person and knew we weren’t a good match. We had more music experience than him, more degrees, more marketing experience and our website already outranked his own personal performance sites. Yet he did not do the ethical thing and tell us we were already better than him, he pitched his pitch which was lies. Even his own “JaredGpt” part of the gimmick told us we shouldn’t have been duped, and he owed us a refund and an apology. His own software said we were smarter and better than him, and that he owed us a refund and could learn from us!!! He gave us a partial refund and now I’m being constantly spammed by his ridiculous excuse for a company. Don’t fall for his tricks. When you listen carefully even his pitches are fake. He gives different versions in interviews and pitches as to how the company came to be- who was it, him or his wife? His idea or hers? Which one created it and which one runs it because it’s different versions floating out there 🙄 Definitely not worth the time or the money.

So far, through BookLive, I’ve learned a great deal—especially about marketing and positioning myself as an artist.
The honesty and sincerity of the program truly deserve recognition, particularly the work of Jared, with whom I have the pleasure of studying and learning strategies that, even in a short time, have helped me open my mind not only as a musician, but also as an entrepreneur.
Because the music business is not just about playing music. It’s also about understanding how to reach people, how to communicate what you do, and how to position yourself in the market.
And I believe BookLive focuses precisely on that essential aspect: learning how to present and share what you are with honesty, clarity, and authenticity.

They help you with the learning curve and there's a lot to learn! Really great system once you learn it and utilize it. And they keep upgrading and making new discoveries to make it better and easier.

Very turnkey and intuitive. Much easier than all the other Music based CRM solutions. Support is always available with real time replies. The Website builder is worth the price alone.... High Recommend!

They have thought of everything! I mean every little detail! This is such a helpful program for wedding and event musicians!! Super job!

This system is unprecedented, designed and used by Full-time Musicians; streamlines process, so many helpful tools!

The musician management features is a game changer!

BookLive is very intuitive and very comprehensive for the needs of a gigging musician - they have thought of every detail. There is always support if I run into a question or snag.

Helpful and reliable. Just a little wonky. Navigation could be more seamless and user-friendly. The different areas/pages are a bit invisible and hard to find. And sometimes it's hard to tell when a function has actually happened or not (ie; accidentally duplicating a performance due to lack of visible indication that it was done the first time). Would be nice to be able to receive attachments from clients. If it is available, it's not easily apparent.

We were previously paying for multiple tools to run our operations, and after switching to BookLive, we were able to consolidate our entire tech stack and manage both of our wedding businesses in one place. The platform offers features no one else is doing—like client-requested custom songs with the ability to approve or decline (and optionally for a fee!), ACH payments, and an incredibly robust timeline-building tool.

Musicians accept gigs faster because the system is so intuitive. Even small things make a huge difference, like musicians being able to request a sub and instantly send invites to our roster—massive time-savers for us.

On top of that, the support is phenomenal. Jared truly cares about making BookLive the best experience possible, and the team is always available and incredibly helpful. There are so many features we’re still excited to explore, like venue and planner referral lists, which make growing our business feel more tangible and achievable.

We’re genuinely grateful for BookLive, Jared, and the entire team. Almost immediately after switching, musicians were commenting in the gig chats saying, “Great upgrade.” That says it all.

Booklive has changed the way I do business in a great way. I fell in love with it in the beginning and yes I notice all the updates from the invoice prompting the client to tip (and it works too!) to the UI just being smoother and faster. Customers support is always great. Can’t wait to see where this platform goes in the future.

Booklive is a great platform for beginning performers, or seasoned performers.

However, using the platform for seasoned performers requires off-site work; for example, receiving PDFs or replying to clients with several cc's is nonexistent.

It's a great contact lead widget, invoicing has improved, payment processing is easy, and contract has been working well.

Some clients work very well with the platform as is, but other clients require more than the platform can offer in communication.

Overall, a great platform. The off-site communication is inconvenient.

Booklive provides a one-stop-platform that makes communicating with the client and with the musicians
efficient and seamless. My job is made easier with all the business aspects, from contracting through execution available in one place. As the business owner, managing several locations, Booklive is valuable a tool of necessity!

Book Live is the platform I use for booking my band, "Lucky Catch." This system is seamless and helps keep us on track, with regard to booking/contracts and follow up. If you are not using a CRM this is the way to go.....highly recommended!

In a business full of frauds and ineffective programs, Booklive is the rare exception, delivering the goods at a more than fair price. These guys are the real deal--a program that will elevate your game and your income overnight! Highly recommended if you want to make money playing great gigs.

Jared Judge is an outstanding mentor!
The BookLive platform has completely transformed how I manage my bookings, finances, and client communication.
The tools are incredibly powerful—everything from building your website, sending invoices and contracts, organizing your client list, and even creating a strategy to reach the right people in the events industry. It’s made it so much easier to present what I offer as a musician in a clear and professional way.
Full-Time Music Academy has also helped me grow my business in a direction that leads to higher-paying gigs and stronger negotiation power. I now feel like the expert in my field, and I’m confident presenting myself as the go-to guy for event entertainment.
I’m more confident than ever and able to communicate my value much more effectively with future clients.
Full-Time Music Academy and BookLive are absolutely worth every penny!

Booklive is an outstanding platform for musicians seeking to organize their professional life, manage contracts, and streamline payments. What truly sets Booklive apart is that its creator is a professional musician and software developer.

This unique combination of expertise ensures the product is designed specifically to solve the real-world challenges performers face, from booking and contracts to payment processing. The platform is continuously improved, making it highly responsive to user needs. Highly recommended for any musician looking to run their gigging business with efficiency and ease.

This is the #1 place to go to if you want to find the best gigs in your area. Too many musicians lack the skills to get premium gigs and Jared and the BookLive team is the best resource to learn how to do this. Highly recommend!

Daniel has no idea what he’s talking about. This thing is great! It DOES have have something where you can reach out to potential clients. It also is a very helpful tool for anyone that actually does the work. It’s not going to do everything for you.
