Frequently asked questions
How does the free plan work?
Jam is perfect for band members invited by a paying leader, or for trying BandSlate before committing. You get 1 band, up to 3 members, 5 gigs, 10 songs, 1 setlist, and 1 venue, plus 3 one-time usage credits. New accounts also start with a 14-day trial and 3 bonus AI credits — no credit card required.
Can I change plans later?
For existing subscribers, you can upgrade or downgrade anytime. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period. Your data is always safe — if you downgrade and exceed the lower plan's limits, you keep existing data but can't create new items until you're within limits.
What are usage credits?
Usage credits are a shared band balance for AI features and gig SMS when activated. SMS uses 0.25 credits per outbound message segment; availability depends on activation. Credits power BandSlate's 14 built-in AI features: social media post generation (1 credit), gig poster/flyer creation (2 credits), AI setlist building (1 credit), band bio writing (2 credits), contract drafting (2 credits), gig briefings (1 credit), marketing emails (1 credit), and more. Some AI features like chord charts, song enrichment, venue autofill, and dashboard insights are always free.
Do my band members have to pay?
No. Members always join free. Only the band leader or manager pays for the plan. Your entire band gets access to respond to gigs, view setlists, check schedules, and more at no cost.
What happens when I run out of usage credits?
You can purchase usage credit packs anytime — they never expire. Or simply wait for your monthly credit refresh on paid plans. Free AI features like chord charts, song enrichment, and dashboard insights are always available regardless of credit balance.
