How to choose

## Match the plan to the release schedule, not the ambition.

### Choose Free if

you have never released before and want to see a song go live on Spotify and Apple Music before spending anything. Three releases for the life of the account.

### Choose Artiste if

you are one artist releasing regularly. Above roughly $64 a year in royalties it already pays for itself against the free tier.

### Choose Artist Plus if

you release under more than one name, run a small label, put out compilations, or need splits paid to collaborators.

### Choose Label if

you run a roster: ten artists included, sub-accounts, label-wide insights and a dedicated manager for $99 a year. Sub-distributors apply for the Partner programme instead.

## What makes InterSpace different.

Not just a pipe to the stores. A label’s toolkit, for a flat fee.

InterSpace
versus
*%*Commission distributors
Upload-only distributors
InterSpace is a full-service distributor on its own technology.

Most distributors deliver a file and send a statement. InterSpace markets the release, promotes it, protects it and pays it out, on infrastructure the team wrote itself, through agreements it holds directly with the stores.

### Marketing and promotion in-house

Playlist pitching to Apple Music and Spotify curators, PR and press, influencer campaigns on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, radio servicing and airplay on InterSpace Sound System. Playlist and blog submission is included on every paid plan.

### Technology we built ourselves

The release builder that checks every upload against each store’s spec, same-day delivery, YouTube Content ID as a Certified Service Provider, splits paid automatically, SmartLinks, multi-currency payouts and a mobile app. Written in-house, not licensed from someone else.

### Direct deals with the stores

InterSpace holds its own agreements with the platforms, including Africa-first services like Mdundo and JosPlay, and runs its own YouTube network. Your catalogue goes straight to the store, and nobody in between takes a cut.

### A flat fee, never a percentage

From $19 a year. What the stores pay is yours to withdraw, in your currency, with one statement per month across every platform.
