Regardless of the tier you choose, with RouteNote you can upload an unlimited number of tracks, releases and artists, and on our Free model, it&#8217;s totally free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With RouteNote, we have two basic distribution models. Of the options below, RouteNote Free is the only way to get your music on stores without paying upfront. We never lock our artists in and they can switch models, per release, at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For labels managing over 15 artists using RouteNote Free, users won&#8217;t need to pay a penny upfront. Using iMusician, these same labels are required to pay $299 per year for their &#8216;AMPLIFY Pro&#8217; tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the tier, iMusician charges a 20% commission on social media earnings, such as YouTube Content ID and Instagram. With RouteNote, social media distribution is included at no extra cost, meaning you&#8217;ll earn 85% through our Free tier or 100% through our Premium tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Starter<\/strong><ul><li>$9 per release<\/li><li>10% commission<\/li><li>20% social media commission<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Limited features<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>AMPLIFY<\/strong><ul><li>$39\/year<\/li><li>0% commission<\/li><li>20% social media commission<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>2 releases\/year<\/li><li>Limited features<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>AMPLIFY+<\/strong><ul><li>2 artists &#8211; $79\/year<\/li><li>5 artists &#8211; $99\/year<\/li><li>15 artists &#8211; $199\/year<\/li><li>0% commission<\/li><li>20% social media commission<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Unlimited releases<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>All features<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>AMPLIFY Pro<\/strong><ul><li>$299\/year<\/li><li>0% commission<\/li><li>20% social media commission<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>Unlimited artists<\/li><li>Unlimited releases<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>All features<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>RouteNote<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Free<\/strong><ul><li>15% commission<\/li><li>15% social media commission<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>$0\/year<\/li><li>$0\/release<\/li><li>Unlimited artists<\/li><li>Unlimited releases<\/li><li>All features<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Premium<\/strong><ul><li>0% commission<\/li><li>0% social media commission<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>$9.99\/year per release<\/li><li>$10 per single<\/li><li>$20 per EP<\/li><li>$30 per album<\/li><li>$45 per extended album<\/li><li>Unlimited artists<\/li><\/ul><ul><li>All features<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3>Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The number of artists, releases and features available to iMusician users vary based on the tier.
