How much is easy song licensing?
Easy song licensing costs vary based on usage type and platform. Madverse offers sync licensing opportunities through our distribution plans starting free with Madverse Vibe, or from $19.99/month with Madverse Rise. Sync placement fees for TV, film, and commercials are negotiated per opportunity, with Madverse handling submissions and negotiations while you keep 100% ownership and receive transparent royalty payments.
What is the standard licensing fee?
Standard licensing fees depend on license type and usage. For distribution, Madverse offers plans from free (Madverse Vibe) to $19.99/month (Madverse Rise) to $99.99/year (Madverse Label), with custom enterprise pricing available. Sync licensing fees for placements vary widely—from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars—based on production budget, usage duration, and media type. Madverse provides transparent fee structures with no hidden charges.
What percentage of royalties does Madverse take?
Madverse offers industry-leading royalty shares: 95% for Madverse Star and Label plans, 90% for Madverse Rise, and varying rates for custom solutions. Unlike traditional distributors charging 15-50%, our transparent pricing ensures artists keep maximum earnings while accessing comprehensive licensing and distribution services.
Are there setup fees or hidden costs?
No. Madverse pricing is completely transparent with no setup fees, hidden charges, or surprise costs. You pay only the stated subscription fee (or nothing for Madverse Vibe), with optional add-ons like AI mastering ($5/track) clearly priced upfront. All licensing opportunities and royalty payments are handled transparently through your dashboard.
How do I earn from sync licensing?
Madverse connects your catalog with sync opportunities in TV, films, commercials, and video games. When your music is selected, you receive an upfront sync fee (negotiated per placement) plus ongoing performance royalties when the content airs. Our team handles pitching, negotiations, and licensing administration while you retain 100% ownership and creative control.
Can I switch pricing plans later?
Yes. Madverse allows flexible plan upgrades or downgrades based on your evolving needs. You can start with the free Madverse Vibe plan to test the platform, upgrade to Madverse Rise for enhanced features, or scale to Label or Enterprise tiers as your catalog grows—all without losing existing releases or analytics data.
What's included in the annual subscription?
Annual subscriptions include unlimited releases to 150+ platforms, comprehensive royalty tracking and analytics, sync licensing access, YouTube Content ID monetization, editorial playlist pitching, fan link tools, royalty splits at source, and dedicated support. Higher tiers add features like Dolby Atmos distribution, faster processing, and priority support—all clearly outlined per plan.
Do you charge per release or track?
No per-release fees. Madverse subscriptions offer unlimited releases, allowing you to distribute as many singles, EPs, and albums as you want throughout your subscription period. Optional services like AI mastering ($5/track) are charged separately and clearly, but core distribution remains unlimited within your plan.
