Question 1

Is OCTVE built for an independent artist who manages themselves?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You are the core use case. OCTVE is built for the self-managed artist doing it all alone, no manager, no team. Your OCTVE plan ($50/month after a 30-day free trial) gives you a full touring automation suite, catalogue and royalty tracking, financial reporting with P&L statements, marketing campaign management, a professional EPK builder, an industry CRM, and intelligence built into OCTVE that reads your settlements, drafts your contracts, and parses your offers. Everything you need to run your career professionally on your own. And when you bring on a team later, everything you have built carries over.

Question 2

What makes OCTVE different from other music business software?

Accepted Answer

OCTVE is the only all-in-one platform built for the self-managed artist running the whole operation solo. While other tools focus on single features like accounting or booking, OCTVE integrates everything you need to run your music business: touring automation, financial analytics, catalogue management, marketing campaigns, CRM, EPK builder, and an intelligent dashboard. One platform, one login, complete visibility across everything you handle.

Question 3

Can OCTVE replace the multiple tools I'm currently using?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OCTVE consolidates tour calendars, booking spreadsheets, financial software, contract management, marketing tools, and CRM systems into one integrated platform. Most artists replace 5-8 separate tools with OCTVE, eliminating duplicate data entry, reducing software costs, and keeping every part of your career on the same real-time information. Everything syncs automatically across touring, finance, marketing, and analytics.

Question 4

I have years of data in another platform. Is switching a nightmare?

Accepted Answer

No. We do the move for you, free. Send us your exports from Prism, Master Tour, Gigwell, or even a stack of spreadsheets and PDFs, and our team rebuilds your full history inside OCTVE: every show, settlement, venue, and promoter contact, reconciled and ready. Your finals, guarantees, and ticket counts come over intact, not flattened into a notes field. You start day one with everything you have ever played already in place, so there is nothing to re-enter and no reason to stay stuck where you are.

Question 5

What are OCTVE's pricing plans, and is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and every plan starts with a 30-day free trial with full access to all features. Your card won't be charged until day 31, and you can cancel anytime during the trial at no cost. OCTVE is $50/month for solo artists. OCTVE Pro is $100/month flat with unlimited artists. All plans include complete platform access: touring, financials, catalogue, marketing, CRM, EPK builder, built-in intelligence, and a site builder. Annual billing available with 2 months free.

Question 6

How does OCTVE work for managers and booking agencies?

Accepted Answer

When you grow into a team, or if you already manage multiple artists, OCTVE scales with you. Track tour logistics, ticket sales, and settlements across an entire roster. Generate automated financial reports with commission calculations. Manage industry relationships with integrated CRM and venue database. Coordinate marketing campaigns with Kanban boards. Our OCTVE Pro plan is $100/month flat with unlimited artists, giving the whole team complete platform access without per-seat pricing.

Question 7

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel anytime from your account settings or the Stripe customer portal. After cancellation, you'll have a 30-day grace period to reactivate and keep your data. During this time, we'll send you reminder emails (3 total) before permanent deletion. After 30 days, your organization data, including artists, events, contracts, and financials, is permanently deleted. We only retain a minimal audit log (organization name, admin email, deletion date) for compliance purposes.
