Built for background performers
Your background work, organized.
BGNow brings opportunities, applications, bookings, SETDAY details and completed work into one performer-first place — so less of your day lives in scattered emails, screenshots and notes.
BGNow Basic is free forever. No card required. No automatic charge.
Founder Lifetime is for performer accounts only. Queen Bees can open their casting workspace without purchasing an actor membership.
One simple workflow
From “I might apply” to “that job is wrapped.”
BGNow is designed around the actual rhythm of background work, not a generic task list.

Before you join
Clear answers, no surprises.
BGNow is keeping the launch simple: try the performer workflow first, then decide whether it earns a place in your working routine.
Can I really try BGNow free first?
Yes. Basic is free forever, including applications, bookings and SETDAY. No card or future automatic charge is required.
Will Basic remain free in 2027?
Yes. Basic remains free forever. Premium at $3.99 CAD/month is optional, and paying for Premium requires you to choose Checkout.
What does Founder Lifetime mean?
Founder Lifetime is a one-time $49.99 CAD BGNow membership for the life of BGNow. It is not a recurring subscription and is intended to replace future BGNow performer membership fees for that account.
Why does it say first 100 paid founders?
BGNow has capped this launch offer at the first 100 completed Founder memberships. We do not publish a made-up “spots left” number when we cannot verify it.
Do I have to buy Founder to use BGNow now?
No. Founder is optional. You can create a free performer account and use BGNow forever, without paying for Premium or Founder Lifetime.
Can Queen Bees see my private SETDAY or payment information?
No. Agency and casting access is separated from performer-private SETDAY details, payment tracking, vouchers and unrelated personal work history.
