COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Which white-label platform is easiest to get started with?
LabelGrid. The API documentation at api.labelgrid.com is public and every plan and API tier price is on the website, so you can evaluate the integration before talking to anyone. The plan itself is activated by our team after onboarding screening, KYC/KYB and a signed Advanced Services Addendum. FUGA, SonoSuite, Audiosalad and Labelcamp direct you to sales before you can evaluate the technology, and Eveara's documentation page blocked our crawler.
Can I test the API before committing to a platform?
Every LabelGrid API plan includes a sandbox, and testing in it is required before you go live. Sandbox deliveries are simulated, so nothing reaches a store. LabelGrid enables it at the API upgrade, once you send us the IP addresses to whitelist. FUGA, SonoSuite, Audiosalad and Labelcamp gate technical access behind a client agreement or sales conversation.
Which platform supports the most DSPs?
Among the providers compared here, SonoSuite and Revelator name Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and Deezer on their pages; FUGA’s captured pages describe delivery to the major DSPs without a published store list. LabelGrid delivers to all major DSPs worldwide. The more relevant question is whether a platform covers the specific stores your clients need.
Do all platforms support direct deals (SOBO)?
Not all. LabelGrid supports SOBO (Send on Behalf Of) on Custom Distribution and the API tiers, so you deliver under your own negotiated DSP deals and keep 100% on them. FUGA’s and Revelator’s own material describes delivering over either their deals or your own, but their captured pages do not state what either retains on your own deals — confirm that with them directly.
What does LabelGrid API pricing start at?
All LabelGrid API plans and pricing are published on the pricing page. No sales call required. You can see costs, track limits and feature details before signing up. The custom tiers publish a starting price, with track limits set per contract.
Is Revelator's blockchain payment system required?
Revelator's captured pages do not state that it is. They describe two payout routes: Revelator Wallet, which pays in USDC, and payouts through Tipalti, PayPal and Bamboo. Confirm with Revelator which route applies to your contract.
Can I switch from one white-label platform to another?
Yes. Music catalog data can generally be migrated between distribution platforms. The complexity depends on your catalog size and how deeply integrated your systems are. Starting with a platform that offers self-service access and sandbox testing reduces the risk of choosing a solution that does not fit your technical requirements.
Does LabelGrid protect my content from AI training?
Yes. Our Terms of Service define 'AI DSP' as a separate category: any platform that uses content for AI training, model development, or synthetic media generation. AI DSP delivery is off by default and opt-in only, with controls at both label and release level. Even if you enable auto-delivery for new DSPs, AI platforms are still excluded. Your distribution license covers delivering content to the DSPs you choose. Nothing else.
Can I distribute AI-generated music through LabelGrid?
Yes. LabelGrid accepts AI-assisted and AI-generated music with mandatory disclosure. You declare AI involvement in three fields: artwork at release level, audio and composition at track level. Each uses the same four-level scale — no AI, minor AI assistance, AI-generated portions, or entirely generated with AI. This gets sent to all DSPs automatically, including Apple Music Transparency Tags and Spotify's DDEX-based labeling. A track declared as entirely AI-generated is not delivered to YouTube Content ID, YouTube Music, Meta, TikTok or SoundCloud Monetization. Other platforms set their own policies and may decline tracks carrying AI-generated material. Impersonation, deepfakes, and deceptive metadata are not allowed. Read our full AI content guide.
