StarNow what happened to this amazing site? Used to be so easy now it's full of restrictions and zero success stories
I remember in the year 2015 you could contact talent by simply messaging them by pressing the message button, now when you press message StarNow wants you to pay credits? It's a restriction for talent who aren't rich or earning a good amount of money. Basically starnow is now a money making machine who doesn't care about talent's success instead they don't care about the lower class anymore.
You pay 9.99 for month and get nothing special just able to apply for castings, again in 2015 it was free to apply to unpaid roles, but you had to pay 9.99 to be able to apply for all jobs and yeah now it's not the same.
You pay the 9.99 and you still can't message talent, I made so many friends in 2015 by messaging talent, collaborating on projects. Now starnow wants you to post a casting ad, however you get the same old talent applying and the new talent are restricted to apply for unpaid stuff, so they need to bring back messaging, they need to stop asking for money about applying for unpaid work and create a balanced website how it was in 2015. No restrictions and yes they can increase the price to 11p/m if that's what it takes to make it the best site for talented people. It's a one because starnow didn't listen to our advice for years, yet their excuse is to pay staff, they could easily do that with ads, and not restrict us

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to write this review, I'm very sorry to hear you feel this way.
As much as we’d love for everything at StarNow to be free, it takes a team of people to run the website, from web developers, to casting managers and our customer success team.
We’ve made it free to place casting calls, register, create a basic profile, and apply to some casting calls. We need to charge our full members a small fee to use the site to ensure we can continue to operate and provide the best service possible. Full members, who have a Standard, Premium or Elite subscription, are able to contact talent via the Talent Directory for free.
Thanks,
Bella
