Pay $200 (annual) upfront. We take a percentage of every dollar we recover — your rate depends on your situation. No thresholds. No gimmicks.
We register your works, find the leaks, recover your royalties.
The deal:
Why we're different:
Because the average independent artist has $4,000+ in missing royalties. We've done this hundreds of times. We know where the money is.
$200 + a share of recovered royalties
What you get:
Why it works:
All payments are final.
You pay $200/year plus a percentage of every dollar we recover. Your rate depends on your situation (independent artist vs. enterprise). No thresholds. No gimmicks. The fee is calculated at the end of your term on royalties attributable to works you registered through CreateBase during that term.
Two reasons:
Yes. Cancel through your account settings anytime.
You keep full access through the end of your current billing period. All payments are final. You're not locked into future billing.
We continue collecting and processing royalty disbursements for works you registered during your active subscription. Here's how it works:
During the first 12 months after cancellation:
After 12 months:
Why the 12-month period?
Royalties can take 6-18 months to flow through the music industry payment system. If you registered a song in Month 2 of your subscription, royalties from that registration might not arrive until Month 8, 12, or even 18. The trailing period ensures we're compensated for collection work we already completed on your behalf.
You earned it. You get it. We just retain our fee for the work we did to recover it during the first year after you leave.
Book a call. For complex rights situations (reverted catalogs, publisher changes, international collection), we can create custom terms.
Book a Catalog Review →No. Only royalties from works you register through CreateBase during your active subscription term.
If you're already collecting on a song perfectly fine, we don't touch it. We only take a percentage of money we actually recover or optimize.
Money that flows from registrations we filed or fixed.
Counts:
Doesn't count:
Because we make more when you make more. Our fee is a share of what we find — so we're incentivized to find every dollar.
We're not a SaaS company trying to collect monthly fees forever. We're a royalty recovery company. We do better when you do better.
Aligned incentives. That's the point.
Our fee (a percentage of recovered royalties) applies to works you register through CreateBase during your term. Rate varies by situation. Some PROs (e.g. BMI, SESAC) may charge one-time registration fees; these are not included in CreateBase pricing. Cancel anytime through your account settings. Additional terms apply — see the End User License Agreement.
