About Stagent

Stagent grew out of the frustration many small agencies feel when spreadsheets and separate calendars no longer cut it. Development began in May 2019 and after a year the platform launched with intuitive design and touring logistics at its core. Based in the Netherlands, it was built by industry insiders who wanted cleaner, faster software for booking agencies and artists. Stagent supports contracting, e-signatures, itinerary planning, invoicing, payments, analytics, APIs and team collaboration, all under one roof.

Stagent is built to support agencies and artists who need booking management: itinerary tools, finance statements, multi-artist events and mobile access. It works well for teams managing a mid-sized to large roster with international bookings.

What Stagent does well

  • Integrated itinerary and tour schedule tools
  • eSignature contracts with built-in payment flows using Stripe
  • Analytics and finance dashboards for bookings and expenses
  • Complete control using their mobile apps
  • Powerful with Zapier integrations and robust team access controls

Why Artistu is a better fit

More and more agencies are switching to Artistu. And that's for good reasons:

  • Clear and affordable pricing
  • Real support from real people
  • Built for speed, not complexity

If you're a booking agency that wants to focus on getting shows booked, sending contracts quickly and keeping artists in the loop without tech headaches, Artistu is likely a better match.

Stagent offers built-in modules for payments and touring workflows, but that often means longer setup and a higher learning curve. With Artistu, you're up in days not weeks, and you pay for what you need, and not the extras you don’t.

With Artistu, you pay less, move faster, and keep things human.

You don’t have to adjust your agency to fit the tool. Artistu adapts to the way you already work
