UnitedMasters
Apple-backed distributor with a brand-partnership marketplace connecting artists to sync and brand deals (NBA and similar partners). The free tier no longer includes distribution; releasing starts at the $19.99/yr Debut+ plan, with DSP reach of roughly 35-50 stores and YouTube Content ID as a paid add-on with a 20% cut.
- Best for
- Distribution plus brand-deal and sports sync opportunities. Independent artists releasing regularly who want inexpensive distribution and potential access to brand or sync placements.
- Skip if
- Brand syncs aren't realistic for your genre yet. You need free distribution, permanent catalog hosting without renewals or guaranteed access to sync opportunities and human support.
- First move
- Weigh subscription cost and brand-deal fit against your distributor.
- Watch out
- DSP reach (~35-50 stores) is narrower than the 150+ most rivals deliver to; YouTube Content ID is a paid add-on with a 20% cut. Releases are removed when a paid membership expires.
