A fair deal for musicians.
Streaming pays fractions of a cent. Marketplaces take a cut and own your audience. Distributors gatekeep who gets in. Played is the opposite: a storefront that’s yours, with 0% platform commission and sell straight to your fans.
How it works
You claim a handle and get a storefront. You upload your music and set what fans pay. You add your own payment link, PayPal, Wise, Gumroad, whatever you use. When someone buys, the money goes directly to you. Played is the shop window and the discovery engine; it never sits between you and your money.
How we make money
A paid subscription is required: Artist is $12.99/month, Pro $19.99 and Label $29.99. All plans include a storefront and creative tools. Artist can buy sync pitches; Pro includes 3 each month and Label includes 10. Pitches are submissions, with no placement guarantee. Played takes 0% platform commission on music and sync; payment provider fees still apply. Merch is not available yet.
Everyone’s welcome
Every genre, every kind of creator. Make music with a guitar, a laptop, a choir, or anything else; it all belongs here. No bans, no gatekeeping. If it’s your music, Played is for you.
