Royalty Reconciliation for Indie Labels
A SaaS that imports royalty statements from distributors and streaming platforms, matches earnings to tracks and collaborators, flags missing or inconsistent payments, and calculates artist and producer splits. Charge small labels and independent managers a monthly fee based on catalog size.
Benefits for users
- Fewer missed royalties: Identify missing, delayed, or inconsistent payments across distributors and streaming platforms.
- Less manual work: Import and reconcile statements automatically instead of tracking earnings in spreadsheets.
- More accurate payouts: Match revenue to tracks and collaborators, then calculate artist and producer splits consistently.
- Clearer financial visibility: See earnings and payment discrepancies across a catalog in one place.
- More confidence with collaborators: Share reliable royalty records that make payout discussions more transparent.
Ways to monetize
-
Tiered subscriptions: Charge monthly based on catalog size, number of connected distributors, or statement volume. Offer plans for solo managers, small labels, and larger catalogs.
-
Usage-based overages: Include a set number of imported statements or processed tracks per month, then charge for additional volume.
-
Premium reconciliation features: Offer higher-priced add-ons such as advanced discrepancy detection, historical catalog audits, custom split rules, and detailed financial reporting.
-
Paid onboarding and migration: Charge a one-time fee to import back-catalog data, configure royalty splits, and connect distributor accounts.
-
Team and client access: Charge extra for additional users, artist-facing portals, or white-label reports that managers can share with clients.
