STANDN is a cover network for live performance in the UK — music, dance, theatre, comedy, circus, DJ sets, hosting and other acts that need a trusted replacement. If you perform, or you book people who do, you can post a job or apply.
No. You can join, post jobs and apply to 5 jobs a month for free. Pro is £5.99 a month or £59.99 a year; Pro+ is £9.99 a month or £99.99 a year; Agency is £29.99 a month or £299.99 a year. You always keep 100% of your job fee.
Free members can apply to 5 jobs a month. Credits are used when you apply, not when you are booked — withdrawing, or a job being cancelled, does not return a credit. They reset each month on the day of the month you joined, not on the first. Pro and Pro+ include unlimited applications.
No. STANDN is a cover network, not a payment processor. The fee is between you and your replacement, handled however you usually handle it. STANDN never takes a cut of your job fee. Optional memberships and priority posts are priced before purchase.
The job stays open until you find someone or you close it. There's no per-cover fee either way, on any plan.
We notify people who do the kind of work you need, match the style you have posted, and are within travelling distance of the area you gave. Everyone on standby also gets alerts for new urgent jobs and for matching work in their area. No spam, no broad blasts.
Yes. Edit any detail while it's live, and close it the moment you no longer need cover. Closed jobs stay in your history under previous posts. Nothing extra to pay.
