The producer guide — how you get paid on GETMUSIC
A daily revenue pool instead of one-off leases, what drives your share, the plans, and straight answers on the platform fee.
Selling beats one at a time caps your upside at one transaction per artist. GETMUSIC is built the other way round: artists subscribe, and your catalog earns every day they use it.
How it works
1. Upload your catalog. Uploads are unlimited on every plan. Your plan sets how many beats stay live in the catalog at once — Free 10, Starter 30, Standard 150, Pro unlimited. Live beats earn from the daily pool; the rest wait in your library until you upgrade or free a slot. Your producer credit stays on every beat.
2. Artists subscribe. One monthly fee unlocks the entire catalog. They listen, save, download and release tracks on your beats.
3. Activity fuels the daily pool. Every artist subscription is spread across 30 days. A fresh pool each day is split between producers based on real engagement and releases.
4. You get paid. Your slice of each daily pool reflects what actually happened on your beats.
The money model
Daily pool, daily payouts. Compounding, not a lottery. Each subscription is spread over 30 days and divided among producers by engagement.
Activity drives your share. Plays, likes, downloads and — most of all — releases feed it. More live beats means more impressions and a bigger share.
A flat platform fee. 20% runs the marketplace. Most of what's left flows to producers through the daily pool, after a small operational reserve covering refunds and chargebacks.
Exclusives stay yours. Exclusive sales (from $150, you set the price) sit outside the pool. The artist pays you direct, the beat goes off-market.
Multi-producer splits. Set custom splits at upload. Everyone is paid out of the same pool share — no chasing a co-producer for their cut.
You stay in control. Every beat stays attributed to you and keeps earning on releases licensed while it was live.
Against the old model
| Selling one-off | GETMUSIC | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue shape | One lease per artist | Recurring pool, every day |
| Sales process | DM chasing, licence haggling | One-click licence, automated payouts |
| Licensing | Per-track contracts, edge cases | One unified licence; releases stay live forever |
| Compounding | Beats stop earning the day after the sale | More beats, more impressions, more pool share |
Producer plans
| Plan | Price | Live beats | What you add |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 10 | Earn from the pool, standard placement |
| Starter | $14/mo | 30 | Custom profile, WAV & trackout upload, basic analytics |
| Standard | $29/mo | 150 | Priority placement in catalog & search, advanced analytics, type-beat playlists |
| Pro | $49/mo | Unlimited | Top-of-search promo, full analytics, priority support |
Uploads are unlimited on every tier. The number is how many stay visible at once.
Straight answers
How much can I expect to earn? We don't promise numbers, and you should be sceptical of any platform that does. Your share of each daily pool is proportional to engagement and releases on your beats. More catalog, more impressions, bigger share.
Why a subscription instead of letting me sell one-off? Per-beat selling caps you at one transaction per artist. With subscriptions artists keep coming back and your catalog earns from every release. Exclusives still exist for one-off ownership sales; they live outside the pool.
What if I already sell on other platforms? Keep them. We don't ask for exclusivity on your catalog — only on the individual beats you sell as exclusives here. The difference is the revenue shape.
Can I sell exclusives? Yes, from $150, your price. Outside the pool, paid direct, beat goes off-market, minus the 20% platform fee.
Can I cancel? What happens to my beats? Cancel anytime. Your account moves to Free, which keeps 10 beats live. You get 3 days to choose which 10; otherwise we keep your 10 most recent. The rest are hidden from the catalog — never deleted — and return the moment you resubscribe. Same rule on any downgrade. Any track an artist already released on your beats stays licensed forever regardless.
How do co-producer splits work? Add a co-producer at upload and set their share yourself. Pool earnings divide automatically by those shares.
Is this real? Fair question. Browse the live catalog and look at the producer credits, and read the Terms — the fee breakdown is in there. You can sign up free and look around before committing to anything.
