Comparison

Outrider vs. Master Tour

Master Tour is the standard for professional touring operations. Outrider is built for the bands still doing it themselves.

If you're searching for a Master Tour alternative, chances are you already know Master Tour is excellent - it's the industry standard for a reason. It's also built and priced for professional tour managers, agencies, and established productions with the budget and headcount to match.

Most touring bands aren't that. Most are a handful of people juggling load-in times, hotel confirmations, and a setlist that changes the morning of the show - with no tour manager, no travel agency, and no appetite for an enterprise sales call.

"It's built (and fairly priced) for bands that are out there making a go of it on their own."

- Dave Barry, Outrider founder, on why he built it

That's the whole difference. Outrider isn't trying to out-feature Master Tour for professional touring operations - it's solving a problem Master Tour was never priced or designed to solve: everyday touring for bands running things themselves.
