How it works

Upload your catalogue once. We handle the matching, the claims, and the collecting from there.

Step 3

We fingerprint your catalogue, claim the videos that use it, and collect the revenue. Most tracks are approved within a week.

One catalogue, every platform that pays

Your music is already earning on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Usage makes sure the money reaches you.

Instagram Rights Manager

  • Reels
  • Video
  • Stories
  • Live

Instagram has become the biggest source of short-form video built on music, and almost none of it is licensed by the person posting it.

The same claims that cover Facebook cover Instagram, so Reels and Stories using your music start earning too.
