WHY DISTRIBUTORS SWITCH
Why Distributors Choose LabelGrid Over SonoSuite
SonoSuite promotes broad DSP connectivity, AI mastering tools, and neighboring rights collection. These are useful features, but the number of DSP integrations does not equal quality of delivery.
What matters most is DDEX-compliant delivery to the platforms that generate revenue. LabelGrid delivers to all major DSPs using DDEX 3.8.2 and 4.3 the industry standards for reliable, metadata-accurate delivery.
Add transparent pricing, self-service signup, API sandbox access (for API plan clients), and you have a platform built for growing distributors who need to start building now not after a demo call.

Your labels want to know their catalogs are protected as AI platforms enter the market. Our Terms of Service define AI DSPs, AI Uses, and AI-Generated Content as separate categories, with specific delivery controls built in.
Per-label and per-release AI delivery controls. Off by default. Excluded from auto-opt-in. Each label in your network manages AI delivery independently.
Distribution license covers delivery only. Content goes to DSPs selected by the rights holder. No broad language covering AI training or secondary uses.
