Tentacal Reviews & Product Details

Tentacal is crew booking software for the agents and offices that book freelance crew onto film, TV, commercial and live-event jobs. Put crew on tentative Holds and Tentacal ranks competing Holds by priority, day by day, so you always know which production has first call. Confirm a booking and it appears in the crew member's own Google Calendar or iCloud calendar, so crew never install an app or create an account. Crew can check bookings, reply to Holds and send overtime or unavailable dates over WhatsApp, and nothing changes until your team approves it. Tentacal also handles availability requests, clients and contacts, jobs, booking sheets, gear inventory and saved kit bundles, job folders in Dropbox or Google Drive, and pushes client invoices and crew bills to Xero or QuickBooks Online. Pricing is a 14-day free trial, then one Desk plan per agency with optional team seats; crew are never counted as users.
