NextShow vs Shoflo
Different run of show tools fit different teams. Here is an honest look at how NextShow compares, including where each tool is the better pick.
Shoflo is enterprise event-production software built for large production companies, broadcast, and sports operations. It is now part of Lasso and sold as Lasso Rundown, with the same enterprise shape. NextShow does the same core job, a live run of show your team shares and runs together, without the enterprise price or the onboarding that comes with it.
The differences
Free to start vs trial and quote.
NextShow is self-serve: sign up and build a run of show in minutes, free. Shoflo publishes flat annual tiers for the Rundown module and offers a free trial, not a free plan; pricing for the wider LASSO platform is quoted after a demo.
Flat pricing vs per-user licensing.
NextShow pricing is public and flat: $15 for one event, or $129 per year for everything, with no per-user seats. Shoflo Rundown is sold as an annual license priced per active user, with pieces like the prompter licensed separately as add-ons.
Same core, less overhead.
Real-time cue sheets and rundowns, custom columns, and any-device access are common to both. NextShow keeps setup light enough to run a single event with no onboarding.
As of August 24, 2026, lasso.io lists Shoflo Rundown as an annual per-user license, with prompter and elements-manager add-ons priced separately.
