Features & Pricing
With Catapult you can sell & have your music streamed on over 1,000 music stores and platforms in over 250 countries. These include: Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube Music, iHeartRadio, Deezer, & more. We can also get your music into YouTube Content ID, Facebook and Instagram for use on their platforms.

We do collect a 9% fee on any earnings from the music stores. For example: if you earn $100 in one month you will receive $91 into your PayPal account.

Shazam / Siri Fingerprinting
FREE
If fans hear your song playing anywhere like a restaraunt, or on the radio or tv, they can use the Shazam app or just "Ask Siri" on their phone to identify the song! Our competitors actually charge you every year per track to have your music in Shazam/Siri (We're not sure why since it's a fingerprinting service and once they scan your audio file it's there for good!).

Get access to Daily sales/streams metrics of your content from stores like iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer and Amazon to see how your music is trending in their platforms.
