Industry-grade tools, in your hands.
Real tools and the option to consult with real industry humans — producers, entertainment attorneys, A&R, sync supervisors, publishers — built into the platform you already use. We respectfully use AI to make the work faster; we never replace the people whose real-world knowledge you actually need.
Why we built this inside the platform
Most artists don't need a label. They need access to the same tools and the same experienced humans that labels traditionally gated behind a deal. Catalog administration, publishing setup, agreement generation, sync readiness, valuation — these are ten-thousand-foot industry skills that the average independent artist has historically had to buy piecemeal or trade catalog rights to obtain.
Vinylaunch puts the tools in your dashboard and the people one click away. You decide when to use them. You keep what you create. The platform never takes ownership of your catalog as the price of admission.
Base subscription
$5/moEverything below is included at the founding subscriber rate. Founding subscribers stay at $5/mo permanently; post-cap base rises to $7/mo for new subscribers.

Talk to real industry humans.
+$5/mo add-on on top of the base subscription. Per-session consultation fees are set by the professional, billed in 15-minute increments, non-refundable.
Browse the directory of vetted Industry Service Professionals (ISPs) inside the platform. See who's currently online, view their ratings + fee schedule + areas of expertise, and book a 15-minute paid consultation that opens in an embedded voice/video room.
- • Browse the ISP directory. Filter by specialty, hourly rate, rating.
- • See live availability. ISPs toggle on/off; booking is real-time.
- • Pay upfront for the first 15-minute block. Extend by paying another block.
- • Join an embedded voice/video room — no third-party signup, no Zoom link.
- • Post-session survey feeds the ISP's visible rating.
- • Document vault retains any shared materials, private by default.
Vinylaunch does not take a cut of the ISP's session fee beyond standard processing. The platform's role is the directory, the booking, the secure room, and the post-session ledger. ISPs are independent professionals, not employees.
Vinylaunch Pro
$20/moEverything in the base subscription, plus capabilities that carry real platform cost — e-sign documents, stem licensing infrastructure, valuation tooling, and dedicated storage. An honest add-on, not a paywalled UI. Optional. Month-to-month. No catalog claim.
Catalog Manager — premium
Catalog Valuation, Catalog Manager analytics, deep registration reporting, and the integrations needed to make administration faster.
Agreement Generation w/ e-sign
Generate split sheets, work-for-hire, producer agreements, sync licenses, and more — populated from your catalog data and signed electronically inside the platform.
Campaign Planner
Plan a crowdfunding or tour campaign with templates, checklists, and a timeline generated from your catalog, your tour, and your funding goal.
STEMhub access
List your stems for licensing. Buy stems from other artists. The Artist-to-Artist marketplace we've been building toward — Pro tier covers both directions.
+10 GB storage included
On top of the 5 GB included at base. Stack additional 5 GB blocks for $5/mo each at any tier.
Press Kit Builder and Budget Builder are included in the base subscription — they cost us nothing extra per artist, so they aren't locked behind Pro. Publishing Administration is part of the dedicated Vinylaunch Label arm (below), not the Pro subscription.
A dedicated Vinylaunch Label arm is on the roadmap.
Capped royalty fees, artist-retained ownership, distribution + publishing administration, known exit fees scaled to catalog size — not to future earnings. It ships in a later phase, after streaming, royalty calculation, and PRO/MLC reporting infrastructure are live. Today we lead with the tools and the humans, because that's what most artists need first.
