Frequently asked

Is there a monthly fee or subscription?

No. Gelatin is free to join and free to browse. The only charge is a flat $7 booking fee — and only when a booking actually happens.

How much does a DJ keep?

100%. DJs keep their full negotiated fee. Gelatin never takes a cut of the DJ's pay — the $7 fee is paid by the venue.

When does a DJ get paid?

Your fee is held in escrow and released after the set, once you've checked in. The standard payout is free; if you want it sooner, an optional instant cash-out is available for 1.5% ($0.50 minimum).

What does the venue pay?

The agreed DJ fee, plus a flat $7 booking fee and standard card processing, charged at booking and held in escrow. Cancel before the cutoff for a full refund.

What about late check-in?

A $5 fee applies only if a DJ checks in more than 15 minutes after the set start — it keeps events running on time.
