Frequently asked questions

Backstaged is a platform that helps artists grow and monetize their fanbase. We have two products you can use together or on their own: Superfan Community, which is your own subscription platform with exclusive content for your biggest fans, and Drops, which are gated download links fans unlock by following, liking, or reposting etc.

Superfan Community is where your most dedicated fans pay to stay close – a membership with exclusive content, perks, and a direct line to you. Drops is a top-of-funnel tool: you gate a free download (a track, remix, or sample pack) behind actions like a follow, like, or repost, so every download grows your following and adds the fan to a list you own.

No. Superfan Community and Drops each work as a standalone product. Most artists start with Drops and build a community later once they have built an audience.

They compound. Drops widens the top of your funnel each release by turning passive listeners into followers and known fans, and Superfan Community monetizes that audience through subscriptions. Use them together to build your following, and then advertise and upsell your paid community directly on all of your Drops pages seamlessly.

Superfan Community is free to start – we only take a flat 10% platform fee on revenue you make, with no setup or monthly fees. Drops starts at $5/month (50% off during launch). See full pricing on the Superfan Community and Drops pages.
