LANDR and CD Baby: Subscription or Per-Release Economics
Illustration: WBBT Records.
Recurring and per-release models distribute costs differently over a catalogue's lifetime. Commission, optional services and the duration of your release activity affect the result.
Put it into practice
Run a low, medium and high earnings scenario using current terms. Check what remains payable after you stop releasing new music.
Put the decision into a release plan
Keep one catalogue record with artist names, versions, identifiers, rights and the intended release dates. Check the options available in your account before announcing destinations. Allow time to correct a rejected asset, and verify store links after delivery. For WBBT White-Label or Distributor API early access, ask sales for a tailored scope and quote rather than assuming fixed limits.
Your next step
Run a low, medium and high earnings scenario using current terms. Keep a short record of the decision and revisit it after your next completed project.
