Frequently asked questions
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool is free to use, with no account to create and nothing to pay. One tool, Artist OS, asks for an email address so it can send you the PDF it builds. The AI-powered tools cap generations per minute and per day so one visitor cannot drain them for everyone.
Do I need to sign up?
No tool creates an account. Artist OS asks for an email address so it can send you the PDF it builds, and that is the only thing any tool asks for. Your form entries are kept in your own browser so you can come back to them, and you can clear them at any time with the start-over button.
Who are these tools for?
Independent musicians handling their own releases. The tools are grouped by the work itself: Plan a release, Write about your music, Get it heard, Getting paid, Know where you stand, Track prep. That is the work that usually falls to the artist when there is no label doing it.
Where do the numbers in these tools come from?
The data behind streaming payouts, streaming benchmarks, release timelines, royalty registration, release budgets is published in full in the guides, so you can check the numbers rather than take them on trust. Where a dataset carries the date it was last checked, that date is published with it.
