How they differ
Bandzoogle builds full artist websites: pages, your own domain, a music player, a tour calendar, a store and a mailing list, plus a cheaper EPK-only plan. It's been around a long time and is made for musicians in general, from bands to solo artists. You can add SoundCloud through an embed. There's no free plan after the trial.
StageOS is narrower and free. It's built for DJs and live artists: an EPK with your bio, mixes, videos, photos, technical rider, rates and availability, at one link promoters can open on a phone. It also puts your gigs in what's on listings and lets you find and apply to festivals that are open for applications.
