ArtistplusversusBandzoogle
Both build musician websites without code. The difference is how the site gets built, and what the platform knows about your music once it exists.

Where each one wins
The case for moving from Bandzoogle
Bandzoogle has built musician sites since 1999 and does it well. We are better at everything after setup: the site builds itself, the catalog stays current, the press kit rebuilds on its own.

Bandzoogle claims read off their own live pages on 6 August 2026. Rechecked every quarter. Artistplus limits come from the configuration the product enforces, so this table cannot promise something the app would refuse.

The first version builds itself
The difference is the hour before the site exists. Bandzoogle gives you blocks to assemble. Artistplus reads a streaming link and builds the pages, so your first edit lands on a site that already has your music on it.
- Edit any section in the visual editor, or start again with a different template
- Nothing is locked to the import, everything stays editable
The catalog keeps itself current
A discography typed in by hand is accurate on the day you type it. Artistplus treats your streaming profile as the source and re-syncs, so a record you release on Friday is on your site by itself.
- Releases, tracks and artwork from Spotify and SoundCloud
- A nightly SoundCloud sync and a weekly Spotify re-scrape
- Credits, ISRCs, BPM and key on the plans that need them
A press kit you do not maintain
Bandzoogle gives you EPK templates, and a template works as long as somebody keeps filling it in. Ours is generated: it reads your top songs, latest photos and site palette, and rebuilds when they change.
- Regenerates when your music, photos, or design change
- One epk.plus link, with per-recipient links and open tracking
Moving over
What moving from Bandzoogle looks like
The site is not what you have to move. Your music, shows and domain are, and two of those move themselves.
Build the new site from your streaming profile
Paste your Spotify or SoundCloud link. Releases and artwork import, and you get a full site to edit rather than an empty one to fill.
Bring over what only you have
Photos, bio, shows, and any pages the import could not know about. Bandzoogle lets you download your content and their support will help.
Point the domain when you are ready
Bandzoogle says a domain registered with them can move after 60 days of membership. Connect it to us or point its DNS at us. Keep the old site up until the new one is live.
Check your own account before cancelling. Domain and store terms differ by plan and by membership length, and their support answers this well.
FAQ
Bandzoogle questions, answered
Is Artistplus cheaper than Bandzoogle?
Not at the entry level. Lite is $9.16 a month billed annually or $11 monthly, and Artistplus is $45 or $36 annual. Lite is 10 pages, 10 tracks and 100 photos. Ours is unlimited pages, 25GB, invoicing and press kits, and there is a free plan under it.
Does Bandzoogle include a custom domain?
Yes, and it is a genuine advantage of theirs. Every website plan includes one free custom domain for as long as you are a member. Artistplus connects a domain you own or buys you one, billed separately each year.
Does either include email on my domain?
Neither includes it broadly. Bandzoogle sells inboxes at $14.95 per inbox per year. Artistplus includes one on Headliner and sells add-ons below that, on the domain you already manage here.
Can I sell merch on Artistplus?
No. Bandzoogle sells music, merch and tickets with no commission, and that is the clearest reason to pick them. Artistplus has no store.
Does Artistplus take a cut of what I earn?
No. Invoicing is commission-free on every plan, and it is structural rather than a policy: your client pays you directly using the payment details on the invoice, so the money never passes through Artistplus. What we do not have is a store, which is where Bandzoogle is ahead.
What actually imports from Spotify?
Your releases with artwork, track listings and streaming links, plus enough of your profile to draft the site. It re-syncs after that, weekly for Spotify and nightly for a connected SoundCloud account.
Which one is better for analytics?
They differ in kind. Bandzoogle offers visitor analytics on every plan and advanced analytics on Pro, without publishing retention or breakdowns. Artistplus publishes its ladder, from 30 days free to unlimited history and real time on Headliner, with sources, devices and cities.
