Where Cadence fits better.

Production-first workflows

Run sheets, call sheets, bump-in/out and kits — not booking calendars bolted to a CRM.

AI assistant on your live data

Ask for status, gaps and conflicts across events, crew and gear. No dashboards to build.

Agent API for external systems

A documented agent API so your ticketing, accounting and ops tools can read and write.

Fast onboarding

No enterprise rollout. Sign up, import, ship your next show this week.

Where Momentus may fit better.

If your business is primarily a large convention center, exhibition hall or venue group whose core workflow is inbound venue booking, room blocks and long-cycle sales pipelines, Momentus is purpose-built for that shape. Cadence won't replace a venue booking platform — we focus on the production side of the show.

Switching from Momentus.

You can import clients, events and inventory from CSV in onboarding. Most teams run a single upcoming show in Cadence in parallel for one cycle, then cut over the rest of the calendar once the team is comfortable. Our team helps with the import and the first show — at no charge.

FAQ

Is Cadence a Momentus alternative?

Yes — for production-led teams. Momentus is built around enterprise venues and convention centers. Cadence is built for AV companies, touring crews and festival operators who need crew, gear, logistics, contracts and finance in one operational view.

Who is Cadence built for?

AV and lighting companies, touring production crews, festival and event operators, stage and set builders, brand activation agencies, and corporate AV teams.

How long does Cadence take to set up?

Days, not quarters. There's no enterprise rollout. Sign up, invite your team, import your clients and gear, and you're running shows the same week.

Does Cadence offer venue booking?

Cadence focuses on event production operations rather than inbound venue booking and CRM for convention centers. If your business is primarily a venue selling room nights, Momentus is likely the better fit.
