Why artists choose Played
Streaming pays pennies and rents you your own fans. Distributors charge you and leave you to fend for yourself. Played is built the other way round.

Get paid to sync
Apply to real paid briefs from TV, film, podcasts, games and ads — live briefs run $120–$3,000, on your terms.
Own your audience
Your fans and their emails belong to you, not an algorithm. Message them, and take them anywhere.
Everything in one place
Cover art, mastering, copywriting, hosting and your storefront — no juggling ten different tools.
Actually get discovered
A real marketplace with Explore, Browse and Trending — not a void you shout into.
No gatekeepers
No approvals, no bans, no genre police. Upload, set your price, and you’re live in minutes.

Questions, answered
Do you really take 0% of my music?
Yes — fans buy through your own payment link, so every cent goes straight to you. Played makes its money from plans and creative tools, never from your music.
How is Played a better alternative to Bandcamp?
Bandcamp takes 10–15% of every sale plus payment fees; Played takes 0% — fans pay you directly. You also get your full fan email list (not just buyers), built-in cover art, mastering and copy tools, and the sync-briefs board — paid placement opportunities Bandcamp simply doesn’t have.
What kind of music can I sell?
Every kind. Any genre, any style — Played is a home for independent artists, full stop. Upload it, set your price, keep 100%.
Are the creative tools extra?
No. Cover art and mastering are included with every subscription — no per-use charges, no add-ons, and no cap on how much you make. Masters come back ready for both selling and sync, so there is no engineer to book.
What do I get with sync?
Pro and Label unlock our sync-briefs board — real paid opportunities to place your music in TV, film, podcasts, games and ads. You license direct and keep 100%; Played takes no cut of the deal.
How does billing work?
