The Weekend Pass: Full Pro DJ Software for 72 Hours, No Subscription

Most DJ software wants a monthly subscription. But plenty of DJs don't gig every week — you play a wedding one month, a birthday the next, then nothing for a while. Paying month after month for a tool you open twice makes no sense. The SetFlow Weekend Pass is the answer: full Pro access for 72 hours, one-time, £2.99 — no subscription, no auto-renew, nothing to cancel.

Why a pass instead of another subscription tier?

DJ work is episodic. You prep hard in the day or two before a booking, then the software sits untouched for weeks. A monthly plan bills you for all that quiet time, which is exactly why occasional DJs look at £5–10/month and think “not worth it.” When people say DJ software is “too expensive,” they usually mean too expensive for how often I actually use it.

The Weekend Pass matches what you pay to when you play. Buy it the day before a gig, get the full professional toolkit for 72 hours, and let it lapse. No commitment, no direct debit quietly renewing in the background. It's the difference between a gym membership and a day pass — and for a lot of DJs, the day pass is the honest fit.

What you get for 72 hours

A Weekend Pass is the full Pro plan, just time-boxed. For those 72 hours you get everything a Pro subscriber gets:

• Unlimited sets and tracks — no trial caps, import your whole library
• Up to 3-hour mixes — long enough for any set or B2B
• Smart crates that auto-filter by genre, BPM, key and energy
• Every export format — Rekordbox XML, Traktor NML, Serato crates, M3U8, PDF and TribeXR
• Track replacement suggestions and the set planning canvas
• AI library fixes included — 3 genre/artist fix runs and 5 set analyses, enough to clean a messy library before you build

In other words: prep a gig the same way a full Pro subscriber would, for the price of a coffee.

How it works

1. Open View plans from anywhere in the app and pick Get a Weekend Pass
2. Pay the one-time £2.99 through Stripe (all the usual cards and wallets)
3. Pro unlocks instantly when you return — no waiting, no email to confirm
4. A live 72-hour countdown appears in the app so you always know how long you've got
5. When it ends, you drop back to your saved plan — your library and saved sets stay exactly where they were

The countdown ticks down in real time in the top bar and on your dashboard, so there's never any doubt about where you stand.

It's a pass, not a plan

This is the important bit. A Weekend Pass is a one-time purchase layered on top of your account — it does not turn you into a subscriber. Your saved plan stays exactly what it was (a free trial, or Hobby, or Pro), so:

• Nothing auto-renews and there's nothing to cancel
• You're never double-charged — buying a pass while on a plan doesn't change your billing
• You can start a proper subscription any time, and the pass simply keeps running until it expires

Your Subscription settings make this clear: the active pass and its countdown sit at the top, with your saved plan right below it as the plan you'll return to.

Weekend Pass vs a subscription: which is right for you?

The pass isn't meant to replace the subscriptions — it sits next to them so you can pick what actually matches how often you play:

• Gig occasionally (once a month or less)? The Weekend Pass is almost certainly cheaper. A handful of passes a year beats twelve months of subscription for a tool you use in bursts.
• Gig regularly? A subscription wins on value. Hobby is £2.99/month for 10 sets a month, and Pro is £4.99/month for unlimited — so if you're prepping most weeks, the monthly plan is the better deal.

A rough rule of thumb: if you'd buy more than one pass in a month, you're better off subscribing. If you wouldn't, the pass saves you money and the commitment.

What happens when the pass ends

Nothing dramatic. The 72 hours run out, Pro features lock back to your saved plan, and every track and saved set you had stays right where it is. There's no data to lose and no “cancel” step — because there was never a subscription to cancel. Next gig on the horizon? Grab another pass, or subscribe if you've started playing more often.
