Gig'le vs StarClinch
They work differently. StarClinch describes itself as an artist booking platform for events and celebrations in India: an organiser tells it what they need, and it handles the booking. Gig'le is a social network for artists in India, where organisers and venues post gigs, artists apply with their work, and the two agree the details directly.
Which suits you depends on whether you want a managed booking service or a direct connection.

What StarClinch does well
- A managed service. For organisers who want someone else to handle the booking, StarClinch takes it on.
- Event entertainment. It lists performers such as singers, bands, DJs, comedians and magicians for corporate events, college festivals and celebrations.
- Express booking. Organisers with a clear brief can book quickly.
If you are organising an event and want the booking handled for you, a managed service like StarClinch fits.
Where Gig'le is different
- Direct, not managed. On Gig'le, the organiser and the artist talk directly and agree the fee and details themselves. Gig'le connects them; it does not handle the booking or the payment.
- A community, not only a marketplace. Artists share their work, follow each other and find events such as open mics and jam nights, not just paid work.
- Every craft. Music, dance, comedy, theatre, literature, visual arts, photography, videography, fashion and culinary each have their own page.
- The pay is on the listing. Every gig on the Gigs board states the pay up front, so artists can decide before they apply.
How to use them together
- Artists: you can be on both. Use Gig'le for gigs and events in your city and for your creative community.
- Organisers: choose a managed booking when you want it handled, and post on Gig'le when you want to find and speak to artists directly.
For organisers and venues
On Gig'le you post a gig describing the event, the date, the location and what you will pay. Artists apply with their work, you choose, and you agree the details with them directly. See how it works for organisers.
