Royalty coverage

Does Amuse collect YouTube Content ID revenue?

Partly

Included at no cost on the two higher tiers; a 15% fee applies on the entry tier. The release must also be delivered to YouTube Music or nothing is collected.

What this stream is. Revenue when your recording is used in other people's YouTube videos.

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.
