On busk.co, you can either have a free, PRO or PRO+ account. 

  • The free account enables you to get tipped, hired and to join our community. 
  • PRO accounts get access to our festival database and a custom URL. 
  • PRO+ accounts are intended to maximise how much buskers earn.

Below is a comparison of the three account types, and a detailed explanation of what the premium features do.


PRO and PRO+ Benefits

Choose a custom URL

Buskers who join our platform are given a number that determines their URL (e.g. busk.co/12345). This URL is what you share to promote your profile and sell music. Premium account holders can customise these URLs to whatever they like (e.g. busk.co/nick). This looks more professional and trustworthy when sharing your URL to get tipped.

Festival List

We have a massive database of over 600 festivals all over the world that hire street performers. Every month, we send our Premium account holders an email listing all the festivals they can currently apply to.

Extra PDF sign downloads

With a standard account, you can download a sign for free from busk.co/settings/tools. You can then print and laminate that sign to get your audience to tip you while busking. Premium account holders get access to 13 different sign designs.

Extra album uploads

Standard account holders can upload up to 3 albums for sale from their profile. Premium account holders can upload 5 albums.

Extra ‘Points’

PRO account holders are gifted 1,000 points, PRO+ account holders are gifted 3,000 points.

Our points system determines how high up you will appear in search results on our website — basically how likely it is that event bookers will find you. The more points you have, the better your chances of getting hired!


Benefits exclusive to PRO+ members

Add Venmo and Cash App

Everyone on busk.co can get tips via Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards and PayPal. However, only PRO+ members can add external tipping services like Venmo and Cash App. That makes busk.co the only service where you can get tipped via all these tipping services in one place, without having to display multiple signs in the street.

Change the message on your tip page

When someone scans your QR code and leaves you a tip, by default your tip page says “Thanks for your support!”. PRO+ members can personalise this message — especially useful when you travel to countries that speak other languages.

Add socials to your ‘thank you’ page

After someone has given you a tip, they get directed to a ‘Thank You’ page. PRO+ members can add links to their social networks, or any other links you want to share, thus building a following while getting tipped in the street. Again, no need to display multiple signs to build a following — this is your one stop shop.
