FAQs

Straight answers before a studio commits.

Do clients pay a booking fee?

No. NeedleOps does not add a client booking fee. Stripe may charge its own transaction fees.

What is the difference between Solo Artist and Studio Team?

Solo Artist is for one person. Studio Team adds shared clients, multiple artists, staff roles, a studio calendar, request assignment, audit logs, and shared project workflows.

Can a studio add more artists?

Yes. Studio Team includes five seats, then each extra artist seat is £10/month.

Is this only for big studios?

No. NeedleOps is built for both independent artists and studios. Solo artists can start simply and move to a studio workflow later.

Are payments processed by NeedleOps?

Payments will be managed through Stripe Express. Stripe may charge its own transaction fees.

Can solo artists move to Studio Team later?

Yes. The workflow starts simply for one artist and can grow into shared clients, staff roles, and a studio calendar when the business needs it.
