Pricing, no fine print
Whoever hires pays no fee at all — you pay only the fee agreed with the musician. Whoever plays picks a plan: the monthly fee sets the commission per booking and the position in the search ranking.
Client: $0, always. Soaru sustains itself with the commission charged to the musician when the booking happens — not with a fee on whoever hires.

Pricing questions
Does Soaru charge any fee to the client?
No. Using Soaru is 100% free for clients (individuals and venues). The platform sustains itself by charging a commission only from the booked musician, which varies by plan: 10% on Free, 7% on Pro (R$ 29,90/month) and 5% on VIP (R$ 79,90/month). You pay only the fee agreed with the musician.
How does the musician get paid?
The payment is processed by Pagar.me, which holds the amount in escrow until 48 hours after the event date. Once the show takes place and both parties confirm (client and musician mark 'show completed' in the app), the system automatically releases the split: the musician receives the fee and Soaru keeps the commission. There is no manual handling, preventing defaults.
How much does it cost for a musician to sign up?
Signing up on Soaru is free and the Free plan has no monthly fee — musicians pay only a 10% commission on completed bookings. The Pro (R$ 29,90/month, 7% commission) and VIP (R$ 79,90/month, 5% commission) plans offer greater visibility in the search ranking, more media slots (videos and photos) and a verification badge.
