Tourbook vs. Master Tour
Master Tour is the incumbent — years of use by major touring productions, a large venue network, and logistics tooling built for arena-scale crews. If you're running a production that size, it earns its place, and we won't pretend otherwise.
Most bands aren't on that tour. So there are two honest answers, depending on which tour you're on.
Tourbook is the whole book.
Everything you actually use day to day — day sheets, advancing, guest lists, schedule, contacts, travel — plus the money: what the tour made and what everyone's owed. For a DIY to mid-level tour, you don't need a second app.
Keep it. Run the money here.
Keep Master Tour for logistics and run settlements, payouts, per diems, merch math and the accountant package in Tourbook — the part Master Tour was never built for. Only your dates need to come over.
