Kalinklo does not tax every booking. We charge for software access, human service, or direct representation — depending on the relationship. Software where software is enough. Human support where the engagement requires it.
01
Software access
Subscriptions for Production Desk + My Week, OPAS coexistence tools, Agency OS, and artist tools.
02
Direct representation
20% commission on engagements where Kalinklo is the agent — sourcing, negotiating, contracting, managing.
03
Managed services
Human work priced by scope: profile and office setup, roster and document migration, season setup, emergency replacement, and managed booking support.
Choose the lane first
Pick the relationship first — organization software, agency backend, artist access, or human managed service. Then compare tiers inside that lane.
Two operating systems, one login: organizations run their week on Production Desk (Run the Week); artists, agencies, and presenters manage engagements on Studio, Agency OS, and Season Desk (Manage the Engagement). An organization can buy either or both.
For organizations
$1,500 / month
The clean default for orchestras and classical music institutions that need Production Desk, My Week, Library Desk, roster, roles, readiness, and production-week support.

The working-agency plan: roster, requests, holds, contracts, invoices, commission records, presenter contacts, season pipeline, and team permissions.
No platform fee on your engagements; your commission structure stays yours.

See artist pathsWhat happens after pricing
Kalinklo is reviewed-access because the product contains private rosters, contracts, documents, and institutional operations. The first step is choosing the right lane; the next step is operating inside the correct workspace.
01
Tell us whether you are opening an organization workspace, agency desk, artist profile, or managed-service request. We route the workspace before private data is exposed.
02
Your lane opens with the right modules: Production Desk, My Week, Library Desk, Agency OS, Artist Profiles, or managed-service scoping.
03
Launch checklists, role-specific onboarding, support prompts, and readiness checks show what is complete and what needs action before real work begins.
04
Software plans move to provider checkout where configured. Managed services, enterprise work, and representation stay scoped by human review.

Kalinklo Managed Services
Scoped, priced offerings layered on top of any subscription. For seasons that need setting up, soloists that need finding, or institutions that want a season operated rather than a tool to operate it.
Artist profile setup
From $500
one-time
Public folio, bio, media kit, availability, fee bands, repertoire — built by the team and handed off ready to receive holds.
Agency roster migration
$5,000 – $25,000
scope-dependent
Spreadsheet → Kalinklo workspace. Roster, territories, fee notes, representation rules, request routing, branded portal configuration — migrated cleanly with no lost history.
Presenter season setup
$5,000 – $15,000
per season
Build the planner for an upcoming concert series or festival. Season slots, artist shortlists, approval workflow, vendor docs — ready for the team to start requesting holds on day one.
Orchestra multi-year season import

Multiple seasons, guest conductor pipeline, soloist pipeline, masterclass add-ons, internal approval chains, budget tracking. The Season Desk operational rollout.
Emergency replacement search
$2,500 minimum + success fee
urgent
Your conductor cancelled. Your soloist is ill. The team works the network and the verified roster to surface viable replacements with confirmed holds, fast.
Managed booking support
5% – 10%, capped
per engagement
Ongoing booking-office support for artists or institutions that want the workflow but not the staff overhead. Capped percentage on completed engagements, never percentage on relationships you brought.
A selection — see the full Migration & Launch path for every package and audience.
Software access is a subscription. Human work is a managed-service fee. Commission applies only where Kalinklo directly represents, sources, or manages the engagement. Three distinct revenue lines — not a tax on everything.
Organization and Agency OS customers pay for the software, not a percentage of their bookings. Keep your commission structure, your client relationships, and your margin.
Founding-cohort Verified Artists stay free at their tier. Artist Pro, when it launches post-charter, is opt-in additive — not a forced migration.
Orchestras think in seasons, not $49/month SaaS. Agencies run serious offices. Pricing reflects that — published openly so procurement leads, ops directors, and managers can budget without a sales call.
Kalinklo earns through three distinct revenue lines: subscription fees for software access, managed-service fees for human work, and commission only where Kalinklo represents the artist directly. A blanket 3.5–6% platform tax on every engagement contradicts that positioning — it would mean charging agencies and orchestras a percentage of relationships they already own.
Only on engagements where Kalinklo is the agent — i.e. when an artist is on Kalinklo Managed Artist and Kalinklo sources, negotiates, contracts, or manages the booking. If an Agency OS customer books their own artist using Kalinklo as backend software, no commission applies — that's a subscription relationship, not representation.
If Kalinklo processes a transaction, third-party payment processing costs (e.g. card fees) are passed through transparently. If Kalinklo handles escrow, collection, or settlement administration on behalf of a client, it's billed as a clearly-named admin/payment-handling line — never disguised as a booking commission.
Verified Artists who join during the founding cohort are grandfathered at their current tier. Artist Pro, when it launches post-charter, is an optional add-on with additional features. Existing Verified Artists are not migrated, downgraded, or pushed to pay.
Yes. Tier changes take effect from the next billing period. Annual organization and Agency OS contracts adjust at renewal. Before any downgrade, we review with you what your workspace currently uses so nothing your engagements depend on is switched off by surprise.
Organization and Agency OS plans are billed monthly, and Artist Pro is monthly when available. Card checkout runs where our payment provider is configured and proven; otherwise the office arranges payment by invoice or PO. Enterprise agreements can arrange a custom billing cadence.
Yes — this is how controlled pilots run today. We capture your PO reference, issue an invoice, and record the bank-transfer settlement against it; nothing requires a card. Finance teams get a clean paper trail: invoice, settlement entries, and an audit log for every state change.
Most booking platforms hide pricing behind a sales call. A working musician, an ops director, or a procurement lead doesn't have time to invest a conversation before knowing the number. We publish the full ladder. Ask us anything specific in the help centre.
