It was seamless. Backstage has been an excellent source of gigs for me. Casting is casting, so you win some and you lose some, but when it fits it works! The payment process is simple. You have to be ready for impromptu opportunities, but it has been a great experience, working with and meeting great people, and getting paid for it! Backstage works.

I did not get paid, Backstage got paid and is holding my money for two days. Production paid Backstage yesterday, but Backstage tells me the money will not be available until tomorrow. So I’m not sure who got told I got paid, because I just checked, and I have not gotten paid.
Response from BackstageApr 8, 2026
Hi there, please note that it takes approximately 7 days for the payment to be processed and appear in your account after you accept a payment. Please contact our support team directly at [email protected] if you are still not seeing the payment in your account after a week has passed.

If I could put no stars I would. They took money from my account for an entire year despite my contacting to say I didn’t want a subscription with them after a free trial. I didn’t use their services as I didn’t know the subscription had continued after no notifications or emails what so ever I did not know it would continue to take money from my account, they refused to cancel it despite my saying I couldn’t find the button to end the subscription on the website and I lost money for an entire year. They refused to refund me for this membership I did not use. They are fraudulent and they are theives - any decent company would just cancel the subscription and refund you the month you didn’t know you had it,

Hello, As we discussed privately via email regarding your 2024 Trustpilot review, unfortunately, you are not eligible for a refund. You purchased a monthly subscription in November 2023 and did not self-cancel or contact our support team until 4 months after your subscription renewed in February 2024. Monthly subscriptions are nonrefundable per our Terms of Service. As we discussed privately, you agreed to these Terms of Service when you initially subscribed. We also sent you an email shortly after you subscribed, which detailed which type of subscription you purchased, along with information about your next renewal date and the amount you would be billed, and detailed instructions on how to cancel if you do not wish to continue using your subscription. You were not billed for an entire year, and you did not purchase a free trial. While we understand it is frustrating when you are denied a refund after forgetting to cancel a subscription service, it is also not fair to inaccurately represent your experience with our service as retaliation. All customers have the option to self-cancel via their Account Settings at any time during their subscription period, and if you are experiencing a technical glitch attempting to cancel, you are able to contact our support team for direct assistance. Unfortunately, our decision is final. We wish you the best of luck with your acting career and hope this clarifies any remaining confusion regarding our decision.

Still waiting for customer service to get back to me after 4 days trying to get in contact with them. No phone numbers or emails available hence can't reach out directly. I want to cancel my annual subscription within the 30 day period and no one is helping me out.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear that you were having trouble reaching our support team. Earlier this month, we had a much higher volume of emails than usual, which unfortunately also impacted our ability to respond to emails in a timely manner. Were you able to get in touch with a representative? If not, please try emailing us again at [email protected] with the subject line "Trustpilot Review". I'd be happy to personally investigate this matter for you.

Costumer service is non existing. They say i will talk to an ai service, then the ai service tells me someboy will answer. And then nothing happens, when i ask for an email or phone number, there is no answer. It is a scam.

Hi Pedro, we're sorry to hear that you had a dissatisfactory experience with our Customer Support Team. Earlier this month, we had a much higher volume of emails than usual, which unfortunately also impacted our ability to respond to emails in a timely manner. I see that one of our representatives processed your refund and resolved this matter for you. We apologize again for the delay in our response and hope you don't hesitate to reach out to our support team in the future!

Banned from posting a job and got our account closed without any explanation. Was looking to cast a host for our commercial, followed all the rules and paid for the listing. They took our money and stopped replying. Very sketchy company, will not be returning.

Scam website, doesn't notify you when charging and then charged me for an annual membership and now is completely airing. I've been trying desperately to get in touch with CS because it's money I do not have, and they are not responding.

We're sorry to hear you were having trouble reaching our support team. Did you receive a response from our team? If not, please try emailing us again at [email protected] so we can investigate further. Thanks in advance!
