December 2025 Release — Major Update
A very large update that completely overhauls the billing and onboarding systems, introduces a new licensing model with streamlined plans, and launches the Live Requesting & Music Library feature for live events.
Old Billing System Deprecated
Deprecated the old billing system in favour of the new license-powered system. The code for the old billing system will be removed in a future release.
Deprecated Old Billing Properties on Organisation Object
Deprecated old properties from the Organisation object in relation to billing.
Custom Packages and Enterprise Tier in Licensing
Added support for custom packages into the new Licensing system, enabling a reduction in the number of available plans and the introduction of an Enterprise tier.
£1.00 First Month Incentive
Introduced support for a £1.00 first month incentive, whereby the first month of any Encore plan costs £1.00 irrespective of the plan or billing interval chosen. Users are charged £1.00 for the first month with plenty of notice to cancel, after which the full plan amount and billing cycle applies one month later. The UI/UX has been updated to reflect these changes and show more about the incentive.
Price x Feature Comparison Table
Added a Price x Feature comparison table to help users understand the differences between plans.
Live Song Requests via QR Code
Guests can now request songs live during an event with no app download and no login required — just a QR code. Guests scan a QR code and submit track requests straight from their phone. (ENCORE-124)
Guest Upvoting for Live Requests
Guests can upvote requests from others that are already in the queue, so the most-wanted tracks rise to the top of the DJ's list. (ENCORE-126)
Live Moderation Queue
A real-time queue lets organisers approve, reject, or manage requests as they come in during the event. (ENCORE-127)
Music Library
Build and manage your own music library in Tools, used to power autocomplete in Live Requesting and Search for your guests. Free-text requests can also be enabled if that works better for your flow. (ENCORE-129)
Block Disruptive Guests
Block a specific device from submitting further requests if needed, without affecting everyone else. (ENCORE-130)
Multiple Live Request Sessions per Booking
Run more than one live request session against a single booking, useful for multi-set or multi-room events, as well as having specific private sessions for VIPs. (ENCORE-131)
Guest Request Status View
Guests can see the position of their request in the queue and its status after submitting. (ENCORE-137)
QR Code Generation
Generate and download a ready-to-print QR code for each live request session. (ENCORE-138)
Organisation Billing System Overhaul
Completely overhauled the billing system from the ground up, improving usability and operational visibility.
Streamlined Commercial Plans
Slimmed down the commercial offering of Encore to three plans: Solo, Growth, and Amplify. Organisations needing more can use the new Enterprise plan which is priced on application.
New Database Architecture for Organisation Licenses
Migrated to a new database architecture for storing organisation licenses.
Updated Access Control Functions
Updated a number of access control functions across the platform gating against plans and capabilities. A few hundred call sites were also updated to reflect these new changes.
Onboarding Experience Overhaul
The onboarding experience for creating a new organisation has been completely overhauled from the ground up, with improvements focused on: adding support for selecting a default Feature Stream, adding support for requesting an Enterprise package quote from the Ammedia team, stable checkout billing, and introducing the £1.00 30-day trial offer.
Restyled Join Organisation Page
The Join Organisation page has been restyled to match the design language of the organisation creation wizard.
