The crowd
picks the set.
Your audience scans a code on the table and pays to hear the song they came for. It goes up on the venue screen. You get paid for songs you were going to play anyway.
A band shows their real set list and the room picks from it. A DJ shows no list at all — the room types the song and who it's by, because you can pull up almost anything. Same board, same money, same promise.
Free for your first 30 days, then $19.99 a year. Nothing to install — it runs in a browser.
What one code does
-
Answers the question
"Do you know any Fleetwood Mac?" gets answered without anyone shouting it over a solo. They can see for themselves, all night, without asking you once.
-
Shows your real set list
Not a wish list — the songs you actually play, filtered to tonight's line-up. Nobody asks the duo for the song that needs a horn section. DJing? Skip all of it: they type the song and the artist, and it lands on your board.
-
Connects them to you
After they've paid, they can leave you their email and tap straight through to your dates, your merch, wherever you point them. The list is yours to export.
-
Gets the room playing with you
Requests climb the board as people back them, the screen shows it, and you're playing to a room that picked this one. That's a different gig.
How a night works
-
01 · THE ROOM
They scan
A QR code on the table opens your page on their phone — your set list if you're a band, a box to type in if you're a DJ. No app, no account, no sign-up.
-
02 · THE ASK
They request
They pick or type a song at your price, or buy a shout-out for a birthday. The card is held, not charged. Anyone can pay again on a song already up to move it to the front.
-
03 · THE PAYOFF
You play it
Tap once when you play it — that's when the money moves. Can't get to one? Tap Can't play it and that card is released on the spot. Anything left over goes at last call, so nobody pays for a song they didn't hear.
What it costs
That's it. That's the whole thing Crowdset charges you — and your first 30 days are free, from the day you claim your name. About the price of one song request, once a year. Miss a renewal and nothing is deleted: your set list, your QR code and the venue screen carry on, the night just runs free instead of paid.
Set a song at $10 and $10 is yours. Crowdset's 12% is added on top and paid by the fan — it is never taken out of your side. They see the full amount before they confirm, and they say yes anyway, all night. There's a $5 minimum on a request so a dollar tip never interrupts a set.
- Payments run on Stripe. You connect your own account and the money lands there — we never hold it.
- You are the merchant. Charges appear on a fan's statement under your own name.
- Apple Pay and Google Pay work out of the box. Most people never type a card number.
- Stripe's own processing fees are separate, at Stripe's published rates.
Who runs this
Crowdset is built and operated by Will Thompson Music, Corp on the Gulf Coast of Florida — a working band that got tired of taking requests on cocktail napkins and losing money on the ones they played.
