OpusMode is the gig management app for working musicians, built by one. Track your gigs, build set lists your band will actually use, send a professional EPK in two taps, and keep your finances straight at tax time. One purchase, $9.99, and every feature below is yours. No subscription to use the app, no "Pro" tier, no feature paywalls. Whether you're playing your first open mic or running a full season of dates, OpusMode replaces the spreadsheets, sticky notes, and four other apps you're currently juggling. WHAT'S INCLUDED: ALL OF IT GIGS & BOOKING • Create and manage events with venues, set lists, and band lineups • Track your full gig history with search and filtering • Store venue details, contacts, and booking notes SET LISTS & CHARTS • Build unlimited set lists with drag-and-drop ordering • Attach chord charts, lead sheets, and reference recordings • PDFs stored locally on your device, so your charts stay yours • Share set lists with your band before the gig MUSIC LIBRARY • Organize your repertoire with keys, tempos, and tags • Import and manage chord charts with the built-in editor • Everything searchable in one place CONTACTS & BANDS • Manage your musician network: bandmates, venue managers, venue staff • Create band profiles with member roles and instruments • Coordinate lineups without the group-text chaos FINANCES • Log income and expenses • Track your earnings over time • Export reports for tax season ELECTRONIC PRESS KIT • Generate a professional EPK with your bio, photos, and media • Share a branded performer page with a single link • QR code for handing out at gigs and networking events SHAREABLE GIG PAGES • Generate a public page for any gig with a one-tap shareable link • Perfect for blog posts, social media, and event promotion VENUE FINDER • Venue discovery based on your genre and location • Booking tips, contact info, and insider notes PRACTICE & ROUTINES • Build structured practice routines • Track practice history and streaks • Session logging that keeps you accountable • Includes the OpusMode Progressive Metronome ONE-TIME PURCHASE: $9.99 No monthly fee for the app. No annual fee. No "Pro" tier locking the good features behind a subscription. You buy OpusMode once and you own it, and everything above is included. SITE BUILDER (optional add-on) There is one thing a one-time purchase cannot cover: a live website is an ongoing hosted service. So Site Builder is the single optional part of OpusMode that works as a separate monthly subscription, and only if you want it. • Publish a real, multi-page website for your band at yourband.opusmode.net • Builds automatically from your gigs, EPK, and photos • Built-in contact form for booking inquiries You never need Site Builder to use the app. Everything else is yours in the one-time purchase. Built and maintained by a working trumpet player who uses OpusMode for his own gigs. Feedback and feature requests go directly to the developer.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Rotel at none against OpusMode's 2. Rotel also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). OpusMode's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
