The end of Amuse’s free plan
Amuse dropped its free plan in 2024. Today all its plans are paid annually and, if you cancel, your releases stay in the stores but Amuse takes a 25% commission on your royalties. On the Artist plan it also charges 15% on YouTube Content ID.
At Diskover you can start with 3 free songs, Content ID is included in every plan and, if you stop paying, your music is neither deleted nor penalised with an extra commission: it moves to the free plan with an 80/20 split.
