CrowdCue turns your audience into your setlist. Built by a working musician who got tired of shouting "any requests?" into a mic and hoping someone had cash — CrowdCue gives your crowd a real-time way to request songs and tip you, right from their phone. No app download for them. Just a link or QR code on the table, on your case, or up on screen. HOW IT WORKS - Set up your setlist once — the songs you actually know - Share your personal link (crowdcue.io/yourname) or QR code at the show - Fans search your setlist, request a song, and tip if they want - Watch requests roll in live on your dashboard — tipped requests automatically float to the top of the queue - You always decide what to play BUILT FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY GIG - Real-time request queue, no refreshing - Fans can tip via Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or card — whatever they've got in their pocket - Manage multiple setlists for different types of shows - Post-show analytics: your most-requested songs, tip totals, and trends over time - Add a custom "Book Me" link so fans can find your next show or contact you directly - SMS retargeting (Pro) — text fans when you're playing back at a venue they've seen you at before PRICING Start free with a 30-day trial. Rookie ($29/mo) covers the core request queue. Pro ($49/mo) adds multi-song requests, multiple setlists, SMS retargeting, full analytics, and removes CrowdCue branding from your page. No credit card required to try it. Cancel anytime. CrowdCue — let the crowd request what's next. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
