Pricing questions

Asked and answered.

If your question isn't here, talk to us. We'd rather have the call than lose you to a bad assumption.

What's actually included in each tier?

Distribution, scheduling, pre-saves, self-serve ads, and royalty handling come on both plans. Pro adds extra artist profiles, faster processing, and editorial pitching; AI mastering is paid per use on both. A dedicated account manager comes with artist and label services, by application.

How do the plans work?

Every account runs on a plan. There are two self-serve options, Grow and Pro, and each one is billed annually. The tiers and the comparison table on this page set out what sits on each, and current pricing is confirmed in the app when you sign up.

What do I need to get started?

An account and a plan. Sign up in the app, pick Grow or Pro, and you'll see the price before you commit. Royalty Advance applications are open on either plan, and you can move up a tier whenever you need the extras.

What does "100% royalties kept" actually mean?

Streaming income from all platforms is yours, in full. No commission, no skim, no admin tax. We make money from your subscription, not your music's income.

How are Royalty Advances priced?

Quoted per application based on back-catalog performance. It's repaid automatically from your future royalties, and once it's repaid your streaming royalties revert to you in full. No equity, no rights transfer.

Are there any hidden costs?

No commissions on streaming. Mastering and vinyl are paid add-ons; advances are quoted per application.

What if my label has a non-standard need?

Talk to us. Artist & Label Services are custom deals scoped to your roster. Apply and we'll shape them around your needs.
