Royalty coverage
Does Amuse collect master streaming royalties?
Collects
100% on all paid tiers — except YouTube Content ID. ⚠ If your subscription lapses, a 25% commission applies to keep releases live.
What this stream is. Your recording being streamed on Spotify, Apple Music and similar. This is the payment almost everyone means when they say 'streaming royalties'.
Worth knowing about Amuse
- "100% royalties" carries an admitted carve-out: Content ID ad revenue is cut 15% on the entry tier.
- The pricing page says music stays live with no extra payments when you downgrade. The support documentation says a 25% commission applies once a subscription lapses. The music stays up; a quarter of the money does not.
- ⚠ Tier names in nearly every comparison article are STALE. The older tier names are no longer purchasable, and existing subscribers on them cannot add new artists.
- Content ID is unavailable for exactly the artist most likely to buy the entry tier: non-exclusive beats, samples, toplines, remixes, mashups, stock and AI-generated music are all ineligible.
