Amuse review

Amuse focuses on speed. Its ASAP Release option typically sends a release to stores in 24 hours or less, and the Artist plan costs $23.99 billed annually for one artist profile with unlimited releases to 120+ stores. Every plan includes hi-res audio distribution, a custom label name, a release importer, pre-saves and smartlinks, and royalty advance offers for eligible accounts based on streaming activity. Artist Plus, at $39.99 a year, adds a second profile and removes the 15% fee on YouTube Content ID and on splits with collaborators outside Amuse. Artist Pro, from $59.99 a year, covers three or more artists and shortens the scheduled release lead time from 14 to 7 days. Add-ons include music video distribution at $34.99 per video per year and cover licensing at $14.99 per track. Amuse keeps music live after you end a subscription, though it then charges a 25% royalty commission, and Amuse needs a paid plan before anything reaches stores.
