Symphonic review

Symphonic suits artists who expect to grow into a label-style relationship. Starter costs $29.99 a year for one primary artist, with unlimited featured and remixer artists, 100% of royalties from streaming services, free royalty splitting through SplitShare and access to the Release Campaign Builder. Symphonic says the account also includes monetization on TikTok, YouTube and Reels, daily streams from Spotify and Apple Music, playlist and UGC analytics, Spotify Discovery Mode analytics and Teams access, though it charges a percentage on user-generated content platforms. The Partner tier is a custom percentage deal by approval, adding unlimited primary artists, a client manager and marketing to Spotify, Apple and other DSPs. Extra services such as Content ID, AI mastering, SoundExchange collection, publishing and sync are opt-in or by application. Symphonic also allows disclosed AI-assisted music. The downside for a beginner is price and scope: Starter costs more than most entry plans here and covers one primary artist.
