Headliner vs Laylo
The home base, not just the drop alert.
Laylo is great at pinging fans about drops. Headliner is the site those fans land on — a real, self-updating website and Smart Bio on your own domain, with a mailing list you own.
Founding beta — founding pricing locked in for life.
Laylo does one thing well: notify fans (email/SMS) when you drop something, with an embeddable widget.
But it's a notification layer, not your website. Headliner is the destination — a full site, a self-updating Smart Bio, tour dates and a press kit — plus a fan mailing list you own, so the traffic Laylo drives actually has somewhere real to go.
