COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Distribution

LabelGrid uses flat annual pricing. Distribution plans are Solo $99/year (up to 100 tracks), Basic $199/year (up to 200 tracks, 3 labels), Pro $499/year (up to 500 tracks, 5 labels), and Custom from $849/year (up to 2,000 tracks, up to 50 labels). API plans for platform builders are Starter $119/month, Growth $335/month, and Scale $760/month, billed yearly. There are no per-release fees, and every standard plan includes a 7-day free trial.

Yes, all of it. Every distribution plan and API tier is listed on this page with its real price, including the Custom and API starting prices. There is no sales-call gate to learn what LabelGrid costs, and price changes are published here first.

Yes. Every standard plan includes a 7-day free trial with full access to the platform. You enter payment details to start, but you are not charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel any time during the trial without being billed. Distribution is enabled once you move to a paid plan.

No. LabelGrid charges a flat annual fee per plan, not a fee per release. Unlimited releases are included within your plan’s track limit. The Pro plan adds tracks beyond its limit at $0.15 per track/year, and the Custom plan at $0.25 per track/year, so you only pay more if your catalog grows past the included allowance.

For active catalogs, usually yes. On per-release pricing every single and album adds a new fee, and some services charge again each year to keep music live. LabelGrid plans cover the whole catalog: Solo is $99/year for up to 100 tracks whether you release once or every month, and the price only changes if you outgrow the plan.

Royalty retention is the share of streaming and download royalties you keep after LabelGrid’s distribution and management fees. Solo and Basic retain 85%, Pro retains 90%, and Custom retains up to 100%. The highest retention applies when you bring your own direct DSP deals or deliver under your own Merlin licenses via SOBO, where LabelGrid handles technical delivery only.

The API plans let platforms and distributors build their own branded distribution on LabelGrid’s backend. Starter API is $119/month (up to 3,000 active tracks, 5 labels), Growth API is $335/month (up to 10,000 tracks, 25 labels), and Scale API is $760/month (up to 25,000 tracks, 100 labels). All include the full REST API and a sandbox environment and are billed yearly. See the API documentation for details.

When you start any LabelGrid plan, you’ll enter your payment details, but you won’t be charged immediately. You’ll have 7 days of free, full access to explore the platform. Distribution is disabled during the trial; if you need to send releases to Stores (DSPs) right away, just upgrade to a paid plan at any time.
You can cancel at any point during the trial and you won’t be billed.

With LabelGrid, you can rely on us for distribution, or if you have your direct contracts or other distribution solution, you can use just the catalog manager and other parts of the system to fit within your existing workflow.

Your data is stored securely on private services with nightly backups to ensure recoverability in a disaster.

All you need is a web browser. We develop everything on Google Chrome first, so that is the preferred browser; however, another browser should work if they follow the same standards.

We are founded and officially registered as Label Grid LLC in Denver, Colorado; however, our team operates remotely from across the globe.

If you have a direct relationship with a particular DSP, we can accommodate your needs and become your delivery solution, also known as a digital supply chain provider. This allows you to maintain the contractual direct relationship and collect royalties directly from those DSPs. Additionally, if there are any DSPs for which you do not hold a contract, you can use our direct deals to get your content delivered there.

This feature is reserved for Custom and API plans only.

Yes. Merlin Network is a preferred partner for us. We work with various Merlin Network members who use LabelGrid as their delivery solution.  Merlin Network collects and pays you directly, and you are only responsible for paying your monthly LabelGrid subscription fee, which is 0% taken from your royalties by LabelGrid.  As for DSPs that are not a part of Merlin Network, we can deliver to them as well, either under our contract, where we take a royalty % based on your plan, or 0% if you have a direct deal with them.

This feature is reserved for Custom and API plans only.

For optional UGC / Content-ID monetization (such as on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, etc.), we retain 20% regardless of the plan to cover manual claiming, disputes, and platform fees.

No. AI-generated music is distributed at the same cost as any other release. The only requirement is accurate disclosure of AI involvement during upload.

CUSTOM & API

Custom Accounts & API Services

Retention depends on your plan and channel. Solo and Basic retain 85% and Pro retains 90% on LabelGrid’s DSP deals. Custom and API plans retain 95% on LabelGrid deals, and 100% when you distribute on your own direct deals (SOBO) or through your Merlin Network membership. UGC and Content ID monetization carries a 20% fee on every plan.

On Custom and API plans, you can use the BYO-Deals option: we configure our system to deliver content on your behalf to Spotify, Apple, Deezer, or regional platforms, with revenue routed directly to you per your agreements. As part of our aggregation services, we can set up your account to use your direct deals where you have them and our deals where you don’t — giving you the best of both worlds.

Plan limit behavior depends on your plan type. On standard plans (Solo, Basic, Pro), you upgrade to the next tier when you reach your limits. On the Custom plan, an overage is applied automatically to your next invoice. On API plans (Starter API, Growth API, Scale API), you upgrade to the next API tier. On Custom API, overages are handled flexibly based on your agreement.

Each plan bundles a set number of active label portals. Need more? Contact our support team and we will add a pack (5, 10 or 25) to your account. Packs activate instantly and can be removed at the next billing cycle if your roster shrinks.

Imprint, the LabelGrid white-label portal, has custom pricing scoped at onboarding and sized to your roster, catalog volume and payout needs. Join the waiting list and pricing for your setup is part of the onboarding conversation.

Three addons are optional and priced separately: LabelGrid Gate at $39/year as a standalone WordPress-integration plan (its features are already included with every standard and API plan), plus Preflight QC and Stream Radar, both priced on request. Everything else on this page is included in the plan price.

We offer an Import endpoint through our API or an S3 endpoint for uploading DDEX XML files. We will generate ISRCs if they are missing and validate the metadata according to DSP rules.

Starter API and Growth API plans include email support (48-hour response). Scale API includes a named Technical Account Manager with 4-hour SLA. Custom API offers dedicated support with custom uptime guarantees.
