Features & Pricing

With Catapult you can have your music distributed to 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 / Instagram, and TikTok for use on their platforms.

Unlike other music distributors, Catapult charges a one time fee to get your music in the stores. We do not charge a fixed monthly service fee to keep your music online or hit you with hidden recurring fees or upcharges.

We do collect a percentage on earnings from the music stores. For example, if you earn $100 in one month from streaming, you will receive 91% of those royalties (ie: $91) into your PayPal account. Catapult only makes money if you make money!

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!).

Automatically split any of your song's royalties with anyone and set individual percentages for Downloads, Streams, and Sync.
