Gig Boss is the key to organizing your music career. Easily view the details to your next gig in your chronological scrolling feed of gigs. Create groups, create events, manage your calendar, track how much a gig pays, and whether or not you've been paid. Group members can accept or decline gig invites via email or in-app. Tap an address to pull up navigation or Uber/Lyft. Tap a phone number to call or text someone in the band. Click “Add to Calendar” by using the ellipses (…) to add your event to your native phone calendar. Say goodbye to long email chains that hide the details to your next gig! Managing a tour, fronting a band, and freelancing with multiple groups has never been easier. Tax time a hassle? Can’t remember what you were paid on that one gig? Utilize your Past Gigs tab to view all the gigs you played last year, and easily locate how much you were paid. Gig Boss was created by musician couple Adam Meckler and Jana Nyberg. Adam and Jana have been professional musicians for more than a decade. Between raising their two sons, fronting their own bands, freelancing with many others, touring, recording, and teaching...it was hard to keep it all straight! They dreamt of an app that would make it easy to find the details of a gig while changing a diaper and running out the door, or racing from a rehearsal with one band to a show with another. Gig Boss was born! Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Apple Notes, Google Keep, Notion, etc, are too chaotic. Project management tools are for teams, not individuals. With Microtask, keeping track of your tasks is as simple as type, enter, done. Microtask was built for the busy professional to spend less time thinking about where to write down a task or memory, and simply just write it and move on.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Microtask at none against Gig Boss's 3. Microtask also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Gig Boss's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
