LANDR

You may know LANDR as the company that introduced AI mastering to the world. Since then they’ve grown substantially, adding other tools like samples, plugins and, of course, distribution. Given they’re newer to the market, they’ve opted for a subscription model that covers almost all of their tools, so you can release your music, use their mastering services, have access to samples and plugins and even use their high-quality lossless collaboration services. You can of course pick and choose what you want for a lower price.

What do they charge?

There are many options for LANDR given the number of services you get access to but if you just want distribution, it costs £9 for a single, which is considered one-to-three songs, 15% commission but with no annual fee. There’s a range of alternatives depending on how much you want to release and how interested you are in their other services, with commission and upfront fees changing depending on the plan. Find the full rundown here.

Pros

Lots of extra services for an additional fee per month
Quick upload to stores (One to three days)
No annual fee for just distribution
Cons

15% commission for distro only
Lots of varied pricing options can be confusing
