The Problem

Most musicians undercharge because they have no benchmarking data

Without data, pricing is a guessing game. You compare yourself to other musicians, accept whatever the client offers, or stick with the same rate you started with years ago. Meanwhile, your skills have grown but your rate has not.

Other apps that benchmark your rate
  • Accepting the first number a client offers without knowing your actual worth
  • Charging the same rate for weddings, corporate events, and casual bar gigs
  • Keeping long-term clients at the original rate even as demand increases
  • No way to track whether your effective hourly rate is going up or down
The Formula

A weighted calculation built from your real data

GigGain combines four factors from your gig history to produce a single, data-backed recommended hourly rate. No surveys, no guessing.

40%

Top Quartile Rate

Your best-paying gigs set the ceiling. We use the top 25% of your hourly rates to establish what the market will actually pay you.

30%

Recent Trend

Your last 3 months of gigs weigh heavily. This captures your current market trajectory, not rates from a year ago.

15%

Growth Projection

If your rates have been trending upward, the formula accounts for that momentum and projects forward.

15%

Experience Premium

Years of gigging matter. From your profile or gig history length, an experience premium is factored into the recommendation.

Rate Targets for Every Gig Type

A wedding and a bar gig are not the same. GigGain calculates a separate recommended rate for each type of engagement based on the gigs you have actually done, so you know exactly what to charge.

  • Separate rate recommendations for weddings, corporate events, churches, private parties, and more
  • See your current median rate vs. the recommended target for each gig type
  • Requires at least 3 gigs of a type to generate a reliable recommendation
  • Know which gig types are your most profitable and focus your bookings
