How Amuse’s model compares
Amuse uses a free / commission model, meaning it is free (or low-cost) to upload and takes a percentage of your royalties instead of a flat fee, so cost scales with what you earn. Whether that is the cheapest option for you comes down to how much you release: a high release cadence rewards flat annual pricing, while releasing rarely can favour one-time or free models. Use the calculator above to rank Amuse against the alternatives for your own situation.
