We’ve announced some major changes on our platform!

We're breaking down more barriers for our community of 10 million creators just like you. Today we’re launching new plans, new features and price reductions here at BeatStars.

Changes to Marketplace Plan:

BeatStars Starter Rebranding and Price Drop 🚀💰

Say hello to BeatStars Starter! Formerly Marketplace, now rebranded and available at a new price of $19.99/year—an 80% price drop. Enjoy the same powerful features and more at an accessible rate.

No-Cost Publishing for Starter Plan Members 📚🎉

Unlock the power of BeatStars Publishing at no additional cost! Starter plan members can now access BeatStars Publishing without any extra charges, enhancing their ability to unlock new revenue streams from royalties. 

Seeds by Lemonaide for Starter Plan 🌱🤖

This revolutionary AI tool generates millions of ideas, ethically sourced by our community of creators – meaning the AI model is trained through a voluntary community of producers who are compensated for sharing their work. The AI simply generates ‘seeds’ to help kick start your creative process, bringing you one step closer to creating your next big hit! Starter plan members have 50 monthly credits to generate ‘seeds’.  

Changes to Professional Plan:

BeatStars Professional Rebranding 🎓🚀

Welcome to the era of BeatStars Professional! Formerly Pro Page, now rebranded to reflect the new comprehensive suite of features available for serious creators.

Additional Seeds by Lemonaide Credits for Professional Plan 🌱🚀

Professional plan members enjoy a monthly allowance of 250 credits for Seeds by Lemonaide.

Promote Discount & Credits 📈💳

Dive into exclusive savings! Professional plan members now receive 5% off all Promote campaigns with annual members getting an extra $50 in Promote credits with each renewal.

Monthly Beat ID Credits 🎤🔄

Professional plan members now receive 3 free Beat ID credits per month, enhancing their ability to track, protect, and monetize their work.

Introducing PROkits 🎶🔧

Professional members now get access to PROkits - the latest sounds from top producers, all for free (with 10 monthly credits). Members also have the exclusive ability to apply to the PROkits program for the opportunity to surface their sound kits to millions of potential customers. 

Overall Platform Changes:

Introduction of Marketplace Service Fee

To support continuous improvement, a 12% Marketplace service fee has been introduced. This fee offsets increasing storage costs and contributes to building a world-class shopping experience. Note: This fee doesn't apply to purchases on Pro Pages or Blaze Players.

Removal of Stripe, Introduction of PayPal Integration

Stripe has been removed as a payment option for buyers and payout option for sellers. 

We’ve introduced a new PayPal integration that allows buyers to make purchases using their credit cards right at checkout without the need to be a PayPal user. The integration is also capable of handling collaboration splits that involve multiple sellers for PayPal and credit card transitions!
