If you're a current customer of Choir Genius and have been for a while, you may be one of our "Classic" customers. This means you're using an older version of Choir Genius - but don't worry, it's still a great version! Choir Genius Classic (CG3) has been around for a while and offers a smorgasbord of features with pricing based on the number of active users within a site. 

CG4 is a completely rebuilt product with its own feature lists, and a very different payment structure, so it's not directly compatible with CG3. This is why it's not like previous upgrades with an automatic migration. It's technically not an upgrade, and is instead a new product offering.

CG3 works really well for many of our barbershop groups and has pricing and features that work well for them. CG4 was designed with other music groups in mind, especially children's choir organizations that need to house several choirs within one site with different events, parents, and membership plans.

We do not plan to migrate anyone automatically on G3 over to the G4 platform. We will continue to maintain the G3 platform for security and function but will not be doing any major feature changes or updates. At this time, customers are welcome to remain on G3 as long as they wish.


So why might you want to switch to CG4?

CG4 offers many more store features, such as recurring billing for memberships, donation options, stock tracking, and ticket sales. It also features a brand new interface that has been thoroughly tested for member usability and administrator ease-of-use.

It also offers a completely different pricing structure. With three level of features (Conductor, Team, and Executive) there's a mix of features at an affordable price for every group size and dynamic. Need more advanced features, like ticketing, attendance tracking, and QR code check-ins? Then the premium might be for you. Or perhaps you just need music storage and a simple calendar of events. Your large choir that needs minimal features can subscribe at the Conductor level and save money - but still reap the benefits of being a Choir Genius customer.
