Question 1

How much does Bandry cost?

Accepted Answer

Bandry is $9.99/month or $79.99/year (about $6.67/month on the annual plan). There's a 14-day free trial of everything when you first sign in. After the trial, reading the bulletin and endorsing posts stay free forever. Posting and linking up require an active subscription. Manage your subscription in iOS Settings on iPhone, or from your account on the web.

Question 2

How is Bandry different from BandMix or SoundBetter?

Accepted Answer

BandMix is a classifieds site that hasn't meaningfully changed since the mid-2000s: inactive profiles, pay-to-message mechanics, and recurring billing complaints. SoundBetter (owned by Spotify) is a remote hiring marketplace, not a local band-formation network. Bandry covers both: local bandmate finding and remote music services in one app, no per-message fees, no dormant-profile clutter, and a real free trial before you commit.

Question 3

Is Bandry like Tinder for musicians?

Accepted Answer

No. Bandry is a bulletin board for real, current needs and offers, no swiping on people. You post what you need or what you offer, and interested people raise their hand by linking up. The project comes first, the person second.

Question 4

How does linking up work on Bandry?

Accepted Answer

Tap the link icon on any post. Your private contact info (phone, email, whatever you've set) goes to that one poster only. Nobody else. They reach out off-platform. There's no in-app chat to manage.

Question 5

Does Bandry work for remote music services like mixing and mastering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Posts are tagged as local (radius-filtered, for bandmates, studios, photographers) or remote (visible globally, for mixing, mastering, production, design, and other services that don't require being in the same room). Form a band locally. Hire a mastering engineer worldwide. Same app.

Question 6

Is my location and contact info private on Bandry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bandry stores approximate location only, never precise GPS. Your contact info stays locked until someone links up on one of your posts, at which point it goes to that one person only. You sign in with Apple or Google, so there's no password stored anywhere. Delete your account and Bandry wipes your data and revokes Apple's token on your behalf.

Question 7

Do I need to sign up to browse Bandry?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Signing in with Apple or Google is required to use Bandry. The 14-day free trial starts the moment you sign in, and reading posts and endorsing them stay free forever after that, subscription or not.

Question 8

Can I use Bandry on Android or in a browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Bandry runs in any modern browser at app.bandry.app, on Android, desktop, or iPhone, with the same account, posts, and link-ups as the app. The native iPhone app is the richest experience, but you don't need it to use Bandry.

Question 9

Which iPhone and iOS version does Bandry require?

Accepted Answer

The Bandry iPhone app requires iOS 26 or later, taking full advantage of Liquid Glass and the latest SwiftUI capabilities. Not on iPhone? Use Bandry on the web at app.bandry.app instead.
