Q: Why not build my own iPhone app through other companies?
A: You can! But, consider these points before spending lots of money:
--You'll spend between $195-$499 on "set up fees" --There is no cost associated with having a profile on onseeker™ music.
--You'll have to spend extra money per month as more fans start to use your app. --No matter how many fans download the onseeker™ music app, you'll never be charged for additional fans - because you won't be charged in the firstplace.
--Your fans will have an app for each band they like. Adding more work for them to go in and out of multiple apps to find info about bands. --onseeker music can house millions of bands in one place, and with favoriting tools at your fans disposal, you won't get lost in the mix.
--Per-month subscriptions are between $30-$50 to "maintain your app" --onseeker music is a FREE platform, so you don't pay a dime.
--Get provided with statistics for a "premium fee". --onseeker provides you with specific, targeted statistics/metrics/and a two part rating system (star ratings/scorecards) at NO additional fee.
--Only your fans download your app. --With onseeker music you go to the crowd. Being on our app brings more potential for you to be found by random fans, and to grow your fanbase. Don't just preach to the choir.
