How they differ
LiveEPK does one job and does it well: a clean press kit with embeds for SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube and Bandcamp, contact rows for booking and press, and builders for tech riders, hospitality riders and stage plots that export to PDF. It's inexpensive and it lists DJs among the acts it's for.
StageOS gives you the EPK too (bio, mixes, videos, photos, technical rider, rates and availability) and then helps you use it. Your upcoming gigs appear in StageOS's what's on listings for your city, and you can browse festivals open for applications and apply with your EPK attached. That's the main difference: LiveEPK is the kit, StageOS is the kit plus places to send it.
Choose LiveEPK if…
- you only want a press kit and already know where to send it;
- you want a detailed stage plot or hospitality rider builder;
- you play mainly outside the UK, where StageOS lists fewer gigs and festivals today.
Choose StageOS if…
- you're a DJ who wants gigs and festival slots, not just a page;
- you want your gigs listed in what's on for your city automatically;
- you want to find festivals that are open for applications and apply from the same place.
