Open to everyonePaid yearly plan; no free distribution
AI-made music
With limitsMax 10 AI releases per 7 days; no Content ID

In short. Amuse sends your releases to streaming services, stores and social platforms on a yearly plan. You can use other distributors too, as long as two of them don't deliver the same track to the same store. AI music is allowed, with a limit of ten AI releases in any seven days, and it never goes into Content ID. Amuse lists stock music among what is not eligible for Content ID and social media matching. A claim you release on a video stays released.

How to join

Anyone can sign up. "Amuse no longer offers free distribution." When checked on 26 October 2026, the pricing page listed three plans, billed annually: Artist $23.99, Artist Plus $39.99 and Artist Pro $59.99. They cover one, two, and three or more artist profiles.

Every release is reviewed before it goes to stores.

Exclusive or not

You can use other distributors at the same time. Amuse's rule: you can't have "the same track, on the same product and in the same store" through two distributors, except during a move. A single with one distributor and an album with Amuse is fine. The ISRC must stay the same if it is the same recording.

AI-generated music

Allowed, with limits:

  • Some platforms don't accept AI content. Amuse names Qobuz, Meta and YouTube Content ID, and leaves them out.
  • Tracks that imitate well-known artists are not approved. AI covers are rejected.
  • The Terms of Use, updated on 18 May 2026, allow no more than "ten (10) Releases during any rolling seven (7) day period" that contain AI-generated recordings, per account.
  • "AI-generated releases aren't eligible for Content ID and can't have Content ID added later."

Codes, Content ID and royalties

ISRC. For a new track, leave the field empty and Amuse assigns one for free. A track that is or was in stores must keep its ISRC every time you upload it.

Content ID. To get it, the release must also go to YouTube Music. Amuse calls the whole system UGC matching: YouTube, TikTok and Meta. The music must be "100% original and exclusively owned by you". Among what is not eligible:

  • non-exclusive beats, samples or toplines;
  • "Stock or 'free to use' music";
  • remixes, mashups or alternate versions;
  • AI-generated music.

The list does not say whether "stock music" means music you bought or music you sell. Ask support before you opt in a track you also sell on stock sites.

Releasing a claim. In the Amuse web app, open the artist, then the Content ID section and MANAGE. Click "+ RELEASE A NEW CLAIM" and paste the video link. It can take up to 5 days. "Keep in mind that releasing a claim is permanent." Amuse can't claim that video again.

To take a release out of Content ID entirely, you contact support. See YouTube Content ID.

How you are paid

Amuse says you keep your copyrights and the royalties earned from them. The pricing page notes one exception: Content ID. On the Artist plan, a 15% fee applies to Content ID ad money. On Artist Plus and Artist Pro, Content ID has no extra fee. Amuse says royalties take "between 2-6 months" to come in from the services.

What to keep in your catalog

  • The ISRC of each track. Amuse asks for the same code every time the same recording goes out.
  • Which stores each release goes to through Amuse, so no other distributor sends it to the same ones.
  • Content ID on or off for each release, and the plan you were on. The plan decides the fee.
  • Each claim you released, with the video link. It cannot be undone.
  • Which releases contain AI recordings, and their upload dates, because of the seven-day limit.
