Faster load-ins. Techs who love you. A reputation that follows you.

Showvella is stage plot software built around how shows actually work. Every stage plot and input list is tied to a specific show, date, and venue — so nothing gets mixed up between gigs. Unlike paper or spreadsheets, it keeps your documents clean, organized, and standardized with built-in revision tracking. Works on any device and prioritizes smooth, accurate load-ins—so your shows run seamlessly, every venue, every time.

A stage plot is a visual diagram — usually a top-down view of the stage — showing where each performer, instrument, monitor, and piece of equipment should be positioned. An input list accompanies it, detailing every audio source that needs to be run through the mixing board (e.g., vocals, guitars, kick drum) along with their corresponding channel numbers and mic/DI preferences.

A technical rider is a document that outlines all of the technical requirements for an artist, band, or performance group. It serves as a comprehensive contract addendum communicating what the artist needs from a venue in order to perform. This typically includes things like power requirements, lighting specs, audio equipment, backline needs, and stage dimensions.

Both the stage plot and the input list are components within the technical rider, but they serve a specific purpose: helping the venue's sound and production crew set up the stage correctly and efficiently before the artist arrives.

Showvella currently supports stage plot and input list creation. Tech rider support is coming soon — bringing all three documents together in one place.

Yes — and you absolutely should! Every show in Showvella gets its own stage plot and input list, so any time your setup changes, you create a show that reflects it. Adding a keyboard player to the lineup? New show. Performing as a trio instead of your full band? New show. The more accurate your plot, the smoother your load-in and soundcheck will go.

Yes — while Showvella is designed with music-specific productions in mind, it can work for any event that requires communicating a stage layout.

Showvella stage plots are available for PDF download to share however you see fit. You can also generate a shareable link that always points to the latest version of your show — no resending needed. Each exported plot includes a QR code for quick on-site access too.

Yes, you can disable your shared link at any time. Doing so will also disable access granted by the QR code. Additionally, all sharing links are automatically disabled 7 days after the date of your event.

Yes — every show includes a linked input list. This applies across all plans, including the 70 active shows included with Showvella Pro. When tech rider support launches, that will be included with every show too.

Paid plans are offered on a monthly or yearly basis. Payments are securely handled through Paddle, and all subscriptions are cancelable at any time.

You may cancel or downgrade at any time by navigating to Account Settings and then to Plan. These changes will take effect at the end of your next billing cycle.

Canceling your subscription is the equivalent of downgrading to Showvella Basic. Only upcoming and unscheduled shows count toward your plan limit — past shows are never archived. If you downgrade, your active shows will be reduced to the number allowed on your new plan, with the nearest upcoming shows being retained. For example, if you have 100 active shows and downgrade to Showvella Pro (70 active show limit), your 70 nearest upcoming shows will remain active. All other active shows will be archived for 90 days, during which you can recover them by upgrading your account. After 90 days, archived shows are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Upon account deletion, all associated shows are immediately and permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
