Music Distribution Infrastructure for Distributors

LabelGrid is distribution and royalty accounting infrastructure for companies that distribute other labels' music. Manage many labels under one account, each with its own profile and catalog and with every royalty statement line carrying its label, deliver to all major DSPs, and run it under your own brand on our API. You also get SOBO support for your own DSP deals, a REST API and sandbox for full programmatic control, and published pricing from day one.

BUILT FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Who Is This For?

LabelGrid serves three types of distribution businesses. Whether you're switching backends, launching a new operation or building a branded platform, the infrastructure scales with you.

Existing Distributors

Already distributing music? Switch your backend to LabelGrid without a break in service for your artists. Migrate catalogs via DDEX feeds, keep your DSP relationships through SOBO, and get transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Music Companies

Labels, publishers, and music companies adding distribution to their services. Start with dashboard access, grow into API integration as your roster expands. Multi-label management on every API tier.

White-Label Builders

Build a fully branded distribution platform on LabelGrid's backend. Your customers see your brand from signup to royalty statements. Run your own front end on our REST API, or join the waiting list for Imprint, the LabelGrid white-label portal, which you configure from an admin dashboard without writing code. Either way we handle DSP delivery, royalty processing, and compliance, and the platform your customers use carries your brand.

CHOOSE YOUR APPROACH

Three Distribution Models

LabelGrid supports three distribution models. Use one or combine them to match your business stage and technical capacity.

Self-Service Dashboard

Use the LabelGrid dashboard directly. Upload releases, manage metadata, track royalties, generate artist statements. Ideal for distributors managing a curated roster. No development required, so you can start distributing today.

See Plans

API Integration

Connect your existing platform via REST API. Programmatic release submission, delivery status callbacks, royalty retrieval, and analytics. Full sandbox environment for development and testing. Public API documentation covering every endpoint with its request and response, webhooks you can register, filter, test and inspect, and help-center guides alongside the reference.

See API Plans

White-Label Platform

Launch a fully branded distribution platform on LabelGrid infrastructure. Your UI, your brand, our backend. Requires API plan and Advanced Services Addendum.

THE WHITE-LABEL MODEL, READY-MADE

Launch a Branded Portal Without Building One

Imprint is the ready-made version of that portal: a complete distribution platform on your own domain, with your logo, your exact colors, your own plans and prices, and billing through your own Stripe account. It is configured from an admin dashboard with no code, and your customers sign up on your domain. Resellers are being onboarded now, in order, with hands-on setup help. Join the waiting list to be onboarded first.

Grid of label workspaces scaling from a few to unlimited, each its own catalog and royalties, no per-release fees

MULTI-LABEL MANAGEMENT

Scale Without Limits

Run an unlimited number of labels on Custom API, or start with 5, 25 or 100 on Starter, Growth or Scale. Each of those tiers can add one label pack of 5, 10 or 25 labels respectively, and past that you move up a tier without changing platform. Each label has its own profile and catalog, and every line of your royalty statements carries its label. There are no per-release fees: a flat annual subscription that scales with you.

Start with a handful of labels and expand without changing platform, from 5 labels on Starter API up to an unlimited number on Custom API.

SOBO DELIVERY

Keep Your DSP Deals

For distributors with their own DSP contracts, bring your existing agreements and use LabelGrid purely as delivery infrastructure. No commission on direct deals, just the platform subscription fee.

LabelGrid is a recognized delivery platform for Merlin Network members. Use your Merlin licensing deals and retain 100% of DSP royalties. We handle DDEX delivery, catalog management, and royalty processing behind the scenes.

Hybrid model available: direct deals on major DSPs, LabelGrid deals for the rest. You choose what works for each platform.

YOUR CATALOG IS SAFE

Industry-Standard Compliance

LabelGrid supports DDEX ERN 3.8.2, 4.3.0, 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 for outbound delivery to all major DSPs, with full NewReleaseMessage and PurgeReleaseMessage support, and ingests DDEX feeds from your existing setup. Recognized as a Spotify Preferred Provider. Every release is checked against platform technical and metadata requirements before it ships.

Already using DDEX with another provider? Connect your existing feeds and start delivering through LabelGrid immediately. Integrate over REST/JSON or send us your existing DDEX feeds. Both are fully supported ingestion paths, and LabelGrid handles DDEX formatting for DSP delivery automatically.

PROTECT YOUR CATALOG

Addons That Keep Your Catalog Clean

Preflight QC

Every release on every plan already passes an automated validation check and a manual review by our team before it ships. Preflight QC is the deeper pass on top: audio quality, recognition and duplicates, metadata and formatting, credits, rights and licences, AI declarations, artist profiles and artwork, reported per release in the platform or through the API. It can be added to any API or white-label plan.

Stream Radar

Artificial-streaming early warning across your catalog. Monitors your whole catalog live and flags the specific tracks and releases showing patterns consistent with artificial streaming, so you can act before fees or takedowns arrive.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What platform lets a distributor manage many labels under one account?

LabelGrid. One account holds many labels, each with its own profile and catalog, and every line of your royalty statements carries its label. API plans include 5, 25 or 100 labels, and Custom API has no label limit.

Can I distribute other labels' music under my own brand?

Yes. Build your own front end on the LabelGrid REST API, or join the waiting list for Imprint, the LabelGrid white-label portal: a ready-made branded portal on your own domain with your logo, your colors and the plans you price. Your customers sign up on your domain and subscribe to your plans.

Does LabelGrid include royalty accounting for multi-label operations?

Yes. Royalty accounting is part of the platform, not a separate module. Set splits per release or per track, generate statements for each artist with earnings, expenses and net payable, and track each artist's balance and the payments you make, on Basic and above.

Who is LabelGrid for?

LabelGrid serves independent labels, distributors, and music companies that need professional distribution infrastructure. Whether you're managing a single label or running a multi-label distribution operation, LabelGrid scales to fit your business.

What's the minimum commitment?

Standard plans are annual subscriptions starting at $99/year. API plans for distributors start at $1,668 a year. Each API plan includes a track allowance, a set number of labels and a monthly royalty volume; you move up a tier or add a label pack when you grow past them, and every rate is published on the pricing page. No revenue share on SOBO deals, no per-release charges. White-label API requires an Advanced Services Addendum with a 2-year term.

Can I keep my existing DSP deals?

Yes. LabelGrid supports SOBO (Sent On Behalf Of) delivery, so you can use your own DSP contracts while we handle the technical delivery. You pay only the platform fee, with no commission on direct deals.

How does pricing work for distributors?

All pricing is published on our pricing page. API plans include multi-label management, sandbox access, and webhook notifications. No hidden fees, no per-release charges, no revenue share on SOBO deals.

What happens to my artists when I switch?

Your artists keep their streaming history, playlist placements, and ISRCs. We bring the catalog across during onboarding, by DDEX feed or bulk import. You then request the takedown from your previous distributor, and a short overlap while it completes is normal.

Do I need a developer to get started?

No. You can start with the self-service dashboard immediately. API integration is available when you're ready, with public documentation and a sandbox environment for testing.

What support do distributors get?
Every API plan includes support with a first response within 2 business days, and API plans also carry review priority on releases. That is the target we hold ourselves to; in practice our average response time is under 2 hours during business hours. Support is 100% human, with no chatbots, and we work business days during working hours rather than 24/7. Scale API and Custom API both add a dedicated account manager, with Custom API support terms negotiated in business days. Onboarding is hands-on: we bring your catalog in by DDEX feed or bulk import, and new white-label portals get setup help from our team.

How detailed is royalty reporting, and can I export it?
Every statement carries DSP-level detail: which platform, how many streams, what rate, and what each party earned, broken down by release and track. Royalties are calculated in each platform's own currency and converted to your payout currency. Export a statement as a PDF to send to the artist, or the transactions as CSV for your books, and pull the same royalty and analytics data through the REST API for your own reporting. White-label reporting carrying your own identity is available on Pro plans and above, and LabelGrid pays your cleared royalties out monthly by bank transfer. The minimum payout is USD 20, with a smaller balance carried forward to a later payment cycle.
