COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best distributor for a label with multiple artists and a large catalog?
LabelGrid is built for it: several labels in one account, automated royalty splits and per-artist statements, and no per-release fees. Choose the plan by labels and tracks: Basic ($199/year) covers 3 labels and 200 tracks, Pro ($499/year) 5 labels with 500 tracks included, and Custom Distribution (from $999/year) up to 50 labels with 2,000 tracks included. Above the included tracks, Pro adds $0.15 and Custom $0.25 per track per year, Custom up to 10,000 tracks.
Solo ($99/year, 1 label, 100 tracks) has no royalty splits or per-artist statements, so a label with several artists starts on Basic.
What types of labels can use LabelGrid?
Any independent label, from solo artists running their own imprint to label groups managing dozens of sub-labels. Plans scale from 1 label on Solo to 50+ labels on Custom, so you pick the tier that matches your current roster and upgrade as you grow.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Solo, Basic and Pro include a 7-day free trial. Custom Distribution and the API plans have no trial; they are set up with our team.
Can I manage multiple labels from one account?
Yes. Multi-label support is available on every plan tier. Solo supports 1 label, Basic supports 3, Pro supports 5, and Custom supports 50+. Each label gets its own workspace with separate catalogs, artist rosters, and royalty accounting.
How do royalty payments work?
LabelGrid processes royalty payments monthly. When DSP payments arrive, the system calculates each party's share based on the splits you've configured. You can export detailed statements as CSV or PDF and deliver them to your artists on your schedule.
Can I switch from another distributor?
Yes. Migrate your catalog via DDEX feeds or bulk import. Your artists keep their streaming history, playlist placements, and ISRCs. We coordinate takedowns from your previous distributor to ensure no gap in availability.
What distribution platforms does LabelGrid deliver to?
LabelGrid delivers to all major DSPs including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Deezer, Tidal, Boomplay, and many more. DDEX-standard delivery ensures your metadata arrives clean and complete at every platform.
Does LabelGrid protect my label's catalog from AI training?
Yes. Our Terms of Service define 'AI DSP' as a separate category. AI DSP delivery is off by default and requires explicit opt-in at both label and release level. Your distribution license covers delivering content to the DSPs you choose. Auto-opt-in for new DSPs excludes AI platforms.
