We Need Your Help
QueUp’s monthly operating costs are becoming unsustainable. While we receive generous donations that go directly towards our expenses each month, a significant portion of QueUp’s bills are still covered out of pocket by Larry and me.
Unfortunately, Larry lost his job a couple of months ago. While he’s actively seeking new employment, he’s unable to contribute to the bills at the moment. I can cover the shortfall for a few months, but it would require dipping into my life savings.
What actions are we taking?
To address this, we’re identifying areas where we can reduce costs with minimal impact on you. The most significant saving will come from reducing the number of servers QueUp operates. Additionally, we can cancel a few software subscriptions to further lower our expenses.
These measures are estimated to save us around $145 a month.
As part of this cost reduction, we will be entering maintenance mode on June 15th from 04:00 to 05:00 AM EDT (09:00 to 10:00 AM BST) to reorganize some backend services and ensure everything runs smoothly.
I also want to reassure you that your playlists will always be safe. You can export them at any time using our playlist exporter. Even in the unlikely event that we can’t continue to run QueUp, we remain committed to ensuring you can access your playlists.
How you can help
We don’t want QueUp to close, and while these changes will reduce our costs, we still need your help. We won’t beg for money or introduce new restrictions to drive donations, but any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
It would be ideal if QueUp could sustain itself through donations alone, but we recognize this is a big ask. You can review our current running costs here, and we will continue to be transparent by posting our monthly financials.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has already donated and supported us. Your generosity has been crucial in keeping QueUp running. If you decide to donate, we truly appreciate your help. Even if you can’t contribute financially, your support in spreading the word about QueUp is invaluable and goes a long way. Thank you.
