INDEPENDENT COMPARISON
Showcard and Syngency compared
Syngency offers established booking, package, reporting and multi-office tools, priced per user with published talent-profile and gallery allowances. Showcard prices by agency revenue instead, with unlimited staff and talent on every plan (no seat or roster caps), and a free workspace for models.
As an agency grows it adds bookers, new faces, divisions and portfolio collections. Syngency organizes its plans by paid users and by talent and gallery allowances. Showcard charges differently: its price follows your agency's earned revenue, and there is no cap on team members or talent records.
Unlimited staff and talent means no seat or roster caps; the fair-use principles for AI, storage and email still apply.

Syngency pricing in context
Syngency lists US-dollar rates per user: Solo $49, Standard $99 and Premium $149. Its page shows a monthly and annual toggle and says annual billing is 10% off; it does not say which figures it displays, so confirm that when you ask for a quote. For illustration only, five paid users on Standard at the listed $99 rate is $495 per month, and five on Premium at $149 is $745 per month. Add-ons and taxes are extra, and Enterprise terms are quoted separately.
Showcard's price depends on earned agency revenue, not on how many people sign in or how many models you represent. Which band applies depends on your agency's revenue, so compare your own numbers rather than a hypothetical saving.
Where Syngency may fit better
- You already run on Syngency and your team likes its workflow. The cost and effort of changing systems can outweigh a pricing difference.
- You need multi-office permissions, casting calls, website integration or e-signature (Syngency Sign) in the same product. Showcard has no e-signature or website builder; check anything else against the live demo.
- You want an accounting integration. Syngency lists one as an option; Showcard has no accounting integrations.
- You want its eight interface languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Turkish, Portuguese, Japanese and Traditional Chinese) or its CSV import and export. Showcard is in English only; see Switching to Showcard for what it can import today.
- You need a very large roster under a negotiated arrangement. Syngency invites enterprise inquiries, so do not assume a fixed ceiling.
Where Showcard may fit better
- You do not want the bill to change when you add a booker, an assistant or a finance colleague.
- You would rather not watch a talent-profile or gallery threshold as your roster grows.
- You want one complete feature set at every price band instead of choosing add-on modules.
- You want your models to have a free workspace of their own, whether or not their agencies use Showcard.

Frequently asked questions
- Does Syngency have an unlimited-talent plan?
- Its public Solo, Standard and Premium plans list 100, 200 and 1,000 talent profiles. Enterprise is by inquiry, so ask Syngency about capacity and pricing there rather than assuming a limit.
- Is Showcard free for models?
- Yes. Showcard for Models is free for models aged 18 and over, and does not need an agency subscription. Agency software is a separate paid product.
- Does Showcard have e-signature or an accounting integration?
- No. Showcard records booking fees, commissions and invoices with CSV export, but it is not a full accounting system and has no e-signature.
