Home/Best EPK builders

The short version

Pick the tool that matches the job. For everything you send a booker in one place (the kit, the stage plot, the tech rider, and the pitch email itself): LiveEPK, free to build and publish, $5/month for your own name and the email tools. For a whole band website with a store and a mailing list: Bandzoogle. For a free kit bolted onto release-marketing tools: Tunepact. For a designed PDF or one-sheet: Canva. We make LiveEPK, so read this the way you'd read any band describing itself. Every price and limit below comes from each company's own pricing pages, linked at the bottom.

01 The yardstick

What we compared.

Most "best EPK builder" lists rank by feature count. A booker doesn't care about feature count. They open your link on a phone between sound checks, and they want to hear you, see you, and find the stage plot. So the questions here are the ones you'll hit in the first hour:

The rest of the booking packet

The kit gets you considered. The stage plot, the rider, and the email get you booked and advanced. Here's who helps with which part:

03 One at a time

Each builder, up close.

LiveEPK

Ours. The kit, plus everything else you send a booker.

LiveEPK is built around one moment: a booker deciding whether to put you on the calendar. That takes more than a page. It takes the kit, a stage plot, a tech rider, and an email good enough to get opened. So that's what's in here, in one login.

The kit. Three templates built for music, eight sections (bio, music, video, photos, press, tour, downloads, contact), embeds from Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, YouTube, and more, and a live preview of the real page as you type. It goes live free at a generated link like e123456.liveepk.com with a small "Made with LiveEPK" badge.

The stage plot and tech rider. A drag-and-drop stage plot maker with 39 gear icons, true-to-scale stage sizes, an automatic input list, and monitor mixes, plus a tech rider builder for lineup, schedule, what you bring, what you need, power, lighting, and hospitality. Both are free, with no account needed to use or export them. Inside your dashboard they save with your kit, and one button publishes the PDF into your EPK's downloads, so the production manager finds it where the booker found you.

The email. Bookers read the email before they open anything. The composer drafts the booking pitch for you and pulls your video, press quotes, tour dates, photo downloads, and EPK link into the body of the message, so the pitch holds up even if they never click. Write it once, send it forty times.

The library. One place for your photos, audio, video, press quotes, contacts, and downloads. Upload once, then drop anything into the kit or an email without hunting for the file again.

Free
The full kit editor and a live link, the stage plot maker and tech rider builder, one saved stage plot, 250MB of storage. No card, no trial clock.
Paid
$5/month or $50/year: yourname.liveepk.com with the badge removed, the email composer, the asset library, up to 50 saved stage plots, 1GB of storage. One plan.

Where it falls short. It's new (launched 2026). Three templates, not thirty. No view analytics and no password-protected kits yet. The paid address is a LiveEPK subdomain, not your own .com. It helps you pitch the room; it doesn't find the room for you, so no gig listings or venue contact lists. There's no store, mailing list, or fan-facing anything, and kits are kept out of Google on purpose, because they carry hi-res downloads meant for the people you send them to. If you need a website, this isn't one.

Bandzoogle

The full band website, with an EPK plan on the side.

Bandzoogle has been building musician websites since 2003, and it's the most complete tool on this list. Its EPK features are the real thing: a music player, YouTube and Vimeo embeds, download links for MP3s, hi-res images, and riders, optional password protection, six preset EPK layouts for different pitches, and an export-to-PDF option. It takes 0% commission on anything you sell.

Free
A 14-day trial, no credit card. It's a trial, not a plan: the site sits behind a password until you upgrade, and goes offline if you don't.
Paid
EPK plan at $6.95/month or $76.45/year: one page, 10 tracks, 25 photos. Full website plans run $11 to $22/month and include a free custom domain.
Address
yourname.bandzoogle.com on the EPK plan; your own domain there is a paid add-on.

The honest read. If you want a website, a store, a mailing list, and an EPK in one login, Bandzoogle is the better tool and worth its price. If the press kit is all you need, you're paying for a website builder to get one page, and there's no free way to keep that page live.

EPK Builder

The long-running single-page kit.

EPKBuilder.com has offered free hosted press kits since 2019 and ranks at the top of Google for "epk builder." It's a straightforward single-page builder: header, bio, music, gallery, video, contact. The free plan publishes a real hosted page, which puts it ahead of anything that only offers a trial.

Free
A hosted kit with 1 featured song, up to 10 photos, and up to 5 sections, plus a contact form. One of the four templates is labeled free.
Paid
Pro lists at $13/month (shown at $6.50 for new subscribers when we checked): up to 15 songs, 100 photos, 30 sections, YouTube and Vimeo embeds, a press gallery with hi-res downloads, every template, and a custom domain.

The honest read. A fair free tier if one song and no video is enough to get you started. Most working bands will hit the wall fast: video lives on the paid plan, and their FAQ says visitor tracking and PDF export aren't available yet.

Tunepact

A free kit inside a release-marketing platform.

Tunepact describes itself as a song-first marketing hub, and the EPK builder is the free front door. It's free on every plan including the $0 one, with a permanent hosted URL, two templates, a contact form, tour dates, a press section, and an AI bio writer that produces short, medium, and press-length versions. Music plays through Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and SoundCloud embeds.

Free
The full EPK builder with 3 AI-generated images per kit, no card.
Paid
Pro at $19/month ($190/year) and Premium at $49/month ($490/year) add song analysis, marketing plans, analytics, and fan email. They don't add EPK features.

The honest read. A generous free kit, and a good fit if you're pushing a single to playlists and blogs. It leans toward streaming more than the stage: their pages don't mention asset downloads, stage plots or riders, password protection, or a custom domain, and two templates is the whole wardrobe.

Canva and Adobe Express

The design-tool route.

Plenty of bands make their first press kit in a design app, and for a one-sheet or a PDF attachment that's a fine call. Canva has media kit templates (some made for bands) and can publish a design as a live website. Adobe Express can publish a scrolling web page from a link, with optional password protection and a visit count.

Canva free
Up to five live sites at a canva.site address, each with a "Designed with Canva" footer you can't remove on Free.
Canva Pro
$144/year removes the footer and lets you connect your own domain.
Adobe Express
Free plan at $0; Premium at $9.99/month. Video by YouTube or Vimeo link. Their page builder lists no audio block.

The honest read. You get full control of the look and none of the structure. There's no music section, no downloads area for a stage plot, and every update means reopening the design. Great for the poster. Harder to live with as the link you send every week.

Wix

The build-it-yourself website route.

Wix is a general website builder with a shelf of musician templates. None of them is an EPK as such; you'd build the press kit as a page on a site you design yourself. That's real freedom, and real work.

Free
A published site at yourname.wixsite.com/sitename with Wix ads on it and 500MB of storage.
Paid
Light at $17/month billed yearly is the cheapest plan: it connects your own domain and removes Wix branding.

The honest read. If you want a full site and you like building, Wix will do anything you ask. For a press kit alone it's the priciest route here, and the free version's ads and address tell a booker more than you want them to.

04 The names you remember

What about Sonicbids and ReverbNation?

If you were gigging in the 2000s, these were the EPK. Both are mid-rebuild as of September 2026, so we've left them out of the table until there's something stable to compare.

Worth watching. Not something to build your booking season on yet.

05 The pick

Which one, for which job.

Whichever you choose, the kit matters more than the tool. Here's what an EPK is, how to make one step by step, and a press kit template with a filled-in example for every section.

See ours before you decide.

The free plan is the whole kit editor, a live link, and the stage plot and rider tools. No credit card. If it isn't the right fit, you've lost twenty minutes.

06 Quick answers

Common questions.

What is the best EPK builder for musicians?
It depends on the job. If you're booking shows, LiveEPK puts the press kit, a stage plot maker, a tech rider builder, and a booking-email composer in one place: free to build and publish, and $5/month for your own name and the email tools. If you want a full band website with a store and mailing list, Bandzoogle is the strongest option, with a single-page EPK plan at $6.95/month. If you're marketing a release more than booking shows, Tunepact includes a free EPK inside its marketing tools.
What is the best free EPK builder?
Three tools publish a live EPK for free with no trial clock. LiveEPK gives you every template and section free, live at a generated link with a small badge. EPK Builder's free plan allows 1 featured song, up to 10 photos, and 5 sections, with video embeds on the paid plan. Tunepact's EPK builder is free on every plan and plays music through streaming embeds. Bandzoogle is a 14-day trial, not a free plan. More on where our line sits: the free EPK builder page.
How much does an EPK builder cost?
As of September 2026: LiveEPK is free, or $5/month ($50/year) for a custom name. Bandzoogle's EPK plan is $6.95/month or $76.45/year. EPK Builder Pro lists at $13/month. Tunepact's EPK is free and its marketing plans start at $19/month. Canva Pro is $144/year, Adobe Express Premium is $9.99/month, and Wix's cheapest ad-free plan is $17/month billed yearly.
Can I make an EPK in Canva?
Yes. Canva has media kit templates and can publish a design as a free website at a canva.site address with a "Designed with Canva" footer. It works well for a one-sheet or a PDF. It's a design tool, not a music tool, so there's no built-in press kit structure, music section, or downloads area for stage plots and hi-res photos. You build those by hand.
Do I need a website or an EPK?
They do different jobs. A website is for fans: store, mailing list, tour dates, news. An EPK is for the person deciding whether to book or cover you: a short bio, music, video, photos, press quotes, downloads, and a contact, on one page they can scan in a minute. Many working bands have both, and some start with the EPK because it's the one that gets gigs.
Is Sonicbids still around?
Yes, in a rebuilt form. As of September 2026 the Sonicbids site says it's back online starting with new EPKs, with submissions and partner tools still rolling out, and it doesn't publish pricing. ReverbNation is also mid-rebuild: its new version lists the electronic press kit as coming soon.
