Frequently asked
Is there a monthly fee or subscription?
No. Gelatin is free to join and free to browse. We only earn a flat 10% platform fee when a booking actually happens.
When does a DJ get paid?
Payment is held in escrow when a booking is confirmed and auto-releases one hour after the set ends. Standard payouts are free (1–2 business days); instant payout is available for 1.5%.
What does the venue pay?
The agreed DJ fee plus a 10% platform fee, 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.
