More than a song request app.
The app that runs your gig.

Song requests and tips from one QR code, with your charts ready the moment a request comes in. Plyst also surfaces what to play next and lets your whole band follow the queue live.

Everything you need on stage

Never scramble for the chart

Your whole catalog — chords, lyrics, charts — lives in the app. The moment a song's requested, pull it up. No PDFs buried in email, no digging mid-set.

Plays itself, sort of

Requests auto-sort by tip amount and how many people asked — so the room tells you what to play next. Tip to jump the line.

Run it as a band

Share one live link with your bandmates. They see the same queue and can help manage it — no app download for them either.

Live requests, zero friction

One QR code always points to your current show. Fans scan, request songs from your catalog, and tip — no app download, no account.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from other song-request apps?

Most request apps are just a digital tip jar with a queue. Plyst also stores your charts and lyrics so you can play what's requested immediately, automatically ranks requests by tips and demand so you always know what's next, and lets your bandmates follow the same live queue from their own phones.

Does my audience need to download an app?

No. They scan a QR code with their phone camera and a web page opens instantly — no app, no signup, no account.

Does Plyst take a cut of my tips?

On the Free plan, Plyst takes 10% of your tips. With Plyst Pro, Plyst takes nothing. Stripe’s standard processing fee (about 2.9% + 30¢) still applies on either plan.

Are there any processing fees on tips?

Yes. Tips are handled by Stripe, which charges a standard processing fee of roughly 2.9% + 30¢ per tip. As the performer you cover that fee, so your audience is charged exactly the amount they tip.

Can I import my existing songs?

Yes. Plyst imports OnSong and SongbookPro .backup files, so you can bring your whole catalog with you.

How much does Plyst cost?

Plyst is free to use — unlimited events, requests, and tips, with Plyst taking 10% of tips. Or go Pro for $14.99/month and Plyst takes 0% of your tips. Your audience always uses Plyst for free.
