Labelcaster provides complete label distribution services. We automate much of the tedious and time-consuming administrative tasks of running a music label business. Through our browser interface on desktop or mobile, record labels can:
We take care of all the time-sinking tasks of administration, so you can focus on the vital elements of your label’s growth—like artist relations, business development and promotions.
Distrokid and CD Baby serve as aggregators concentrating on independent artist who want to self publish. They are great at that. Labelcaster focuses on supporting independent labels’ business needs, particularly the back office services of administration, contracts, reporting, automated payments and so forth. If you are an independent artist you should check out Distrokid and CD Baby. If you are label, we are the place for you.
Getting started is completely free. Instead of an upfront payment, Labelcaster takes a commission of 10% of the streaming royalties once they come in. There are no additional costs or hidden fees. Our commission covers distribution to all DSPs, contract management, payouts to all participants and reporting. If you succeed – we succeed.
We deliver through these targets. Each target otften deliver to multiple DSPs. If you don’t see one you are interested in, contact us.
You bet! You can transfer any existing catalogue(s) to our system, free of charge, and we will help you to manage a seamless transition. If you want to try Labelcaster out, you can add just a few releases to start and see how it goes, then transfer later if you want (or not). Or, maybe you want to start a sub label, spread your wings a bit. That, of course, works too.
We screen applications to make sure sure the account info is real, and the owner has the rights to distribute music in their catalogs. Since our focus is on record labels and businesses, we do not accept applications from unsolicited artists. [If you are an artist, check our Distrokid or CDBaby] We do love new upstart business and up and coming record labels.

Anyone who runs or is starting a record label can apply for an account with us. Because we provide B2B label distribution services, we do not sign artists or accept applications from unsolicited artists.We screen every application, and if we think you’re a good fit, we’ll approve the application and welcome you aboard the platform!
We do love up and coming record labels, so if you have or are setting up a business we encourage you to apply.
Yes, for record labels, but not for individual artists. We provide B2B label distribution services, distributing globally to all the major streaming services (also known as DSPs) such as Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Pandora, Tidal, Deezer, SoundCloud, TikTok, Facebook/Instagram, Audiomack, Snap, and many more—now over 40 services supported in over 230 territories. You can set up your releases entirely from the web or our mobile.
If you are independent artist looking to distribute, we suggest you look at one of the fantastic artist aggregators like Distrokid, Amuse, CD Baby or Tunecore.
You can leave the Labelcaster service at any time with no cost. We do require 30 days written notice. Given it takes time for all royalties and reporting to work through DSPs and our systems, expect a wind down period of about 90 days after that. In all cases, you retain all rights to your music and content.
Our pricing model is straightforward. We take a 10% commission fee on all music royalties going through the Labelcaster system. That fee includes all the services we offer—music distribution to all DSPs, contracts handling and archival, reporting, split handling and payments. You pay nothing additional to distribute music. There are no upfront account costs. We have no yearly charges. No add ons.
For the initial distribution charge, nothing. No yearly account fees or per track upload cost. Unlike others, we charge no upfront fees to distribute music to all streaming services (DSPs). Once your music gets played, Labelcaster does take a 10% commission on the streaming royalties. We take the risk with you. If you succeed – we succeed.
Nope. Royalties are simply paid out to your user account. Today we do that through PayPal, Revolut, or bank transfer, but we are adding more payout options as we go. Stay tuned…
All that said, depending on your location, you are liable for tax payments on the income you make. It is your responsibility to report it in accordance to your local tax laws.
Labelcaster has automated the payout process for labels and artists. Streaming revenues from the DSP’s are split based on your contractual agreements. Each participant (artists, collaborators, whoever is receiving a share of the royalties) has an account and then sets up how to get paid in our app. As a label owner, you can invite as many artists, collaborators and other participants into the Labelcaster platform for no additional cost. We take it from there.
As of today, you have the option of being paid via PayPal, Revolut, or bank transfer.
The Labelcaster service works as an app in any web browser on any platform, desktop or mobile. If you have an account you can login here
Your can bookmark and add the Labelcaster app to your mobile phone’s screen to have it work like an app. Click the links below to learn how:
By the 10th of each month, we’ll have the reports available to you and all participants. We provide detailed reporting on performance revenue as downloadable CSV files. CSV (or “comma separated value”) are standard text files that applications like Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers or Tableau can read to analyze and visualize data.
Here are details on all available info in that report.
Monthly, in a word. Each month, as we receive our reports from the streaming services, we process the data into reports and payments. We promise that by no later than the 10th of each month, we’ll have the reports, data, and money available to you and all participants.
A bit on timing: We receive reports from DSPs at the beginning of each month for transactions (plays and downloads) that happened two months prior; some DSPs can be even slower.* So for example, January royalty reports and payments reflect streams that occurred in October.
* Unfortunately, it just takes that long for the DSPs to report on activity. We don’t have any say about that. We wish it were faster, too.
Labelcaster will ask you to set and agree on a split between the label and participant(s) for each release as you set it up. Each release can have as many participants in the royalties as you like—as long as it all totals 100%. We automatically distribute royalties based on these splits, and provide reporting and payments to each participant.
Of course! We have used the best legal expertise around to create label/artist contract templates. The templates are designed to cover the mechanical royalties for each release and the split between each party of the agreement is saved in the Labelcaster system. When the royalties are paid out from the streaming services, our system pays out the royalties based on the contractual split.
All contracts are signed and saved digitally in the our secure cloud service.They are available and downloadable at all times for all parties, fully transparent and fair.
Of course, you also can use your own offline contracts if you wish and have us handle the splits.
You run your label and distribute music from as many artists as you need to. We let you invite as many participants (artists, collaborators, etc.) to be on Labelcaster for no additional cost.
One thing to note… the contracts we provide are not based on artist career agreements. We provide license agreements that are tied only to each release specifically. You are of course free to sign your artists to your label outside of the platform; for each release you’ll indicate the split arrangement in accordance with your “offline” agreement.
Labelcaster takes a 10% commission on streaming royalties automatically off the top. Splits for all participants (e.g. labels, artists, collaborators, etc.) are calculated after that commission is deducted.
We have built a set of dashboards for you. You can see exactly how much each release has been streamed, where it has been streamed and a calculation of estimated royalties. Artists can see the same information on their accounts.
If you want more information than provided in our app, you can always download detailed CSV reports.
