Frequently Asked Questions

What does Partner cost?

Partner is a custom deal offered to you upon application! We charge a flat rate for distribution, with additional services available at separate rates. Our approach is selective, as we offer marketing capabilities for which we earn a percentage. We encourage you to apply!

What makes you different from the competition?

First, we are run by artists and made for artists — even our CEO is a producer. In addition, we offer some of the most advanced technology in the music distribution industry, without charging you extra to use it. That means you can split royalties for free using SplitShare™, easily transfer your catalog with TransferTrack™, access Spotify Discovery Mode analytics, UGC analytics, and much more.

Do you have splitting of royalties?

Yes! We’ve developed a product called SplitShare™ that allows you to pay any collaborator you choose—completely free of charge! You set the percentage split they should receive, and each month they’ll not only get paid but also gain access to daily analytics.

Why does Starter only allow for one Primary Artist?

Starter is intended for artists, specifically those who are just starting out. We aim to respect the integrity of distribution. If you’d like to have more than one primary artist, you can upgrade to Partner or apply when you’re ready. Sign Up To Starter Here!

What else is included in my account?

You get access to the largest network of DSPs, monetization on TikTok, YouTube, and Reels, the ability to split royalties with collaborators using SplitShare, set recoupment rules, view daily streams from Spotify, Apple Music, and more, access playlist analytics, YouTube/TikTok analytics, Teams access—and much, much more! You can even launch an ad or pitch to third party playlists!

Can I distribute AI?

Yes, with Symphonic, you can distribute music and release covers created with AI or AI assistance. However, you must disclose that the song or cover was created using AI. We will not approve any content that illegally impersonates or infringes upon human-made intellectual property.

Please note that AI-generated content cannot be copyrighted and therefore cannot earn composition royalties. We encourage you to be thoughtful and ethical—only create music with AI when there is sufficient human involvement.

What other services are available?

Once you become a client, you can opt in or apply for additional services, such as automated searching of your music on YouTube (Content ID), AI Mastering, collection of digital performance royalties through SoundExchange, neighboring rights, sync licensing, publishing administration, physical distribution, digital marketing, and much more. Please note that not everyone qualifies for these additional offerings.

Do you keep a % of Royalties for Starter?

You earn 100% of the royalties from streaming digital service providers such as Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Amazon, and many others. We do charge a percentage for other services due to their complexity—specifically for user-generated content collection on platforms like YouTube, Meta, and TikTok. Symphonic remains one of the most affordable distribution options in the world.
