If you are new to music distribution, paying before you know how it works feels like a risk. The SapneDigital free plan is for that moment: make an account, upload up to 5 songs, and see your music go to the stores without paying anything first.

What you get on the free plan

  • Up to 5 songs delivered to the stores in your plan (Spotify, JioSaavn, Apple Music, YouTube Music and more)
  • Free ISRC and UPC codes for every release
  • You keep 80% of your royalties (the paid plans keep 85% to 98%)
  • Royalty reports in your dashboard, with our commission and any tax shown on every line
  • Payouts to your bank or UPI once your KYC is done
  • Email support

What is not included

  • AI music. AI-assisted and AI-generated songs are not allowed on the free plan. You can read the rules in our content policy.
  • More than 5 songs. After the fifth song, new uploads wait until you pick a paid plan.
  • Faster release dates. On the free plan you choose a release date at least 4 days ahead. Higher plans and Fast-Track allow earlier dates.

How to start, step by step

1. Join free

Press Join free on the home page, or open the signup page. The free plan comes already selected, so you only fill in your name, stage name, email, phone and a password.

The Free option is selected. It needs no payment, so your studio opens right after you sign up.

2. Upload your song

Add the audio, the cover art and the release details from your dashboard. Use only music you made, or beats and samples you hold a licence for. Keep the same name and spelling you want on the stores.

3. We check and deliver it

Every release is checked before it is sent. When it is approved it goes to the stores, and each store decides when it goes live. You can follow the status of every song in My music.

4. Earn and withdraw

Stores report streams on their own schedule, often a month or two behind. Your balance and each royalty entry show up in your dashboard. To withdraw, complete your KYC and request a payout once your balance reaches the minimum.

What happens after 5 songs

Your 5 songs stay live on the stores. When you try to upload a sixth, the page tells you the free limit is used and shows one button to see the plans.

At the limit, the upload page points to the paid plans. Nothing you released is removed.

When you upgrade, your songs, codes and links stay the same. You simply get room for more releases and the extra benefits of the plan you choose. Standard, Express and Elite Label are a one-time fee. Basic is paid every month, and if a month is missed your songs stay live while uploads and withdrawals wait for the renewal.

Before you upload

  • Do not upload unlicensed remixes, slowed or reverb versions, covers or sounds taken from social media.
  • Do not use AI to copy a real singer's voice.
