Yes. Musicians can browse opportunities, save listings, set deadline alerts, build their profile, and track applications at no cost. There are no premium tiers or paywalls for individual musicians. If a school or organization sets its own official application fee, Cadenza shows that fee and the small checkout service fee before payment.

When you claim your organization, you get 1 free listing credit you can use for any listing type — a job, audition, sub call, competition, or program. This lets you try Cadenza risk-free before committing to a plan.

Pay-as-you-go is ideal for organizations posting 1–3 listings per year at $249 each (your first listing is free; sub/extra and program rates are on request). Organization subscriptions ($990–$4,800/year) include unlimited listings and are better for organizations posting regularly; schools and military bands have their own plans. Four job/audition listings ($249 each = $996) cost more than a Founding Pass at $990/year — every listing after that is free.

A limited-time rate available to early adopters. Once you lock in the founding rate ($990/year), that price stays the same for the life of your subscription — even as standard prices increase. The founding cohort is limited to the first 50 organizations — first come, first served — and checkout closes automatically once the cohort is full.

No plan renews automatically. Every paid plan is a fixed one-year term, billed once, so there is no recurring charge to cancel. Before the term ends we email you a renewal reminder; if you choose not to renew, your organization returns to the free tier when the term ends. The 14-day money-back guarantee covers service you have not materially used (Terms §7.1); after that, annual plans are not refunded pro rata. If a Founding Pass lapses, rejoining later is at the then-current rate.

Yes. For large organizations, multi-campus schools, or agencies we offer enterprise plans starting at $18,000/year with custom data exports, a dedicated success manager, and white-glove onboarding. Contact us to discuss your needs.

Venues list practice rooms with pricing, photos, and amenities. Musicians search by city and book instantly. Hosts pay a 10% commission on completed bookings, deducted at payout. Musicians pay nothing beyond the room rate — no booking fee.

Donations added to a purchase are processed at 5%. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no minimums. Includes mobile delivery, QR check-in, promo codes, donations, merchandise add-ons, and real-time sales analytics.

A professional-services practice operated by Cadenza for arts and culture institutions, covering board succession, leadership risk and executive transition. It is separate from Cadenza's software plans. Cadenza accepts non-confidential pilot inquiries through its public form. Any private introductory conversation is arranged separately, and Cadenza will not accept a paid advisory mandate until the remaining Release 1 legal, privacy, secure-workspace and delivery-capacity controls are in place.

Because it would not be true to say otherwise yet. Cadenza does not accept retained search mandates until its accountable search-delivery team and Release 2 controls are in place, and we do not claim placements we have not made. Board & Succession is in a controlled pilot stage while its remaining legal, privacy, workspace and capacity controls are completed. Boards planning a chief-executive transition can register non-confidential interest in future work; any private conversation is arranged separately.

Fixed professional fees from $60,000, scoped per mandate and set out in a signed fee schedule before any work begins. Cadenza does not price search as a percentage of the appointee's compensation, which avoids the incentive to push a board toward a more expensive hire. Approved expenses are separate and disclosed in advance, with no undisclosed markup.

A person researched for a search is not treated as an applicant. Nobody is presented to a client without their consent, no references or background checks happen without written authorization, and nothing is published about a candidacy without permission. Candidates can correct factual records about themselves, opt out of future contact, and raise a complaint through a defined route.

No. Search and advisory clients are never required to adopt Cadenza products, adviser compensation does not depend on any software cross-sell, and an adviser may recommend a different product where that is the right answer. Confidential advisory information is also never used to target marketplace recommendations, advertising or editorial coverage.
