Questions

Is crowdDJ a DJ SaaS with public pricing?
No. Nightlife states crowdDJ is an add-on that requires an active Nightlife subscription, with packages arranged through sales. This page therefore does not quote a monthly SaaS price.
Do crowdDJ guests vote the order?
Nightlife documents a credit system and staff tools to manage queued selections, including prioritizing songs with the most requests. DJ Request does not use crowd voting to order the queue.
Who is each product for?
crowdDJ is sold to venues already on Nightlife or AMS Nightlife. DJ Request is sold to DJs and hosts who create events and share a QR code, without a venue background-music subscription.
