Question 1

Is WBBT Records really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The WBBT Records Free plan is $0/month forever with no upload limits, no annual renewal per release, and no hidden fees. You keep 70% of royalties on Free (30% commission) and 100% of royalties on every paid plan starting at $2.99/month. Distribution to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Amazon Music and 30+ DSPs is included on every tier, including Free. Beatport is the one exception: Beatport only onboards labels, so delivery there is unlocked on a Label plan once your label's Beatport application is approved. Free ISRC and UPC codes are generated automatically.

Question 2

Does WBBT Records distribute music videos?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WBBT Records distributes music videos to Vevo, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal Videos and TikTok with proper ISRC mapping, vertical Reels/Shorts cuts and editorial pitching. Music video distribution is included on the Pro plan ($4.99/month) and every Label-tier plan above it.

Question 3

Can I customise the 'Provided to YouTube by' label tag on my songs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By default, tracks distributed through WBBT display 'Provided to YouTube by WBBT Records' in the official YouTube auto-generated topic video description. On the Label plan ($8.99/month), Label Software and White-Label SaaS plans, that tag is replaced with your own label name, e.g. 'Provided to YouTube by [Your Label]'. This is the same custom branding major labels use on YouTube.

Question 4

Is WBBT Records better than DistroKid, TuneCore or CD Baby?

Accepted Answer

For most independent artists, yes. WBBT offers a $0 free tier (DistroKid/TuneCore do not), 100% royalties on paid plans (vs CD Baby's 9% lifetime commission), and includes Beatport delivery on every Label plan at $8.99/month with no per-release surcharge (TuneCore charges extra). There is no lock-in: cancel anytime and your music stays live forever.

Question 5

Does WBBT Records monetize YouTube with Content ID?

Accepted Answer

Yes. YouTube Content ID is included on every paid plan (Basic and above). WBBT routes Content ID through its official YouTube partnership, so any user-uploaded video using your music is automatically monetized and the revenue flows back to your WBBT balance.

Question 6

Does WBBT Records distribute to Beatport?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on the Label plans. Beatport onboards labels rather than individual artists, so delivery there is gated behind an approved Beatport application instead of being selectable by any account. Every WBBT Label tier — Label ($8.99/month) and White-Label — can submit that application from the dashboard, and Beatport approves each imprint separately. Once approved, Beatport appears as a delivery target in the release wizard with full Beatport Pro DJ catalogue inclusion, genre charting and editorial routing.

Question 7

Does WBBT Records offer a distribution API?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The WBBT Distributor API is a REST API (/api/v1) that lets you create child sub-accounts, upload and submit releases programmatically, and receive HMAC-signed delivery webhooks, with sandbox and live keys at 120 requests per minute. It is an add-on that sits on top of an active Label plan, priced from $9.99/month (API Starter, 50 sub-accounts and 100 releases per month) through API Scale at $29.99/month and API Unlimited at $79.99/month, each with a one-time $19.99 setup fee.
