Check spam and promotions, then use Resend on the verification screen. Adding artists@distribeats.com to your contacts helps future mail land in the inbox.

Three: DistriBeats PayOnce (one-time per release), DistriBeats Annual Subscription (Pro, AI Pro, Label, Macro Label) and DistriBeats Free (the manually approved Collab Plan).

PayOnce is our one-time distribution plan — you pay per release instead of a yearly fee, keep 90% of royalties and your music stays live for life.

A human-made single is ₹200 one time. AI-made singles are ₹400.

EPs are ₹180 per track for human-made music and ₹360 per track for AI-made music.

Albums are ₹150 per track for human-made music and ₹300 per track for AI-made music.

Yes. You pay once per release at submission and there is no renewal, no yearly fee and no takedown fee on that release.

PayOnce pays 90% of net store revenue to you.

Yes — a PayOnce release stays live on stores for life; we never pull it for non-renewal.

A single PayOnce account can hold a roster of up to 10 artists.

PayOnce releases receive AI priority approval in about 2 minutes when automated checks pass. If routed to a person, manual approval takes up to 24 hours.

Pro is the ₹999/year Annual Subscription for human-made music with unlimited* releases, 100% royalties and ~2-minute AI approval.

AI Pro is the ₹3,499/year Annual Subscription for artists releasing AI-assisted or AI-made music, with 100% royalties and the same delivery speed.

100% on Pro, AI Pro, Label and Macro Label; 90% on PayOnce; 60% on the free Collab Plan.

Store reports arrive roughly 45–60 days after the sales month, and your balance updates as each report is processed.

Nothing is reported for the first month or two — that's normal, not an error.

Monthly, per store, on each store's own reporting cycle.

Failed payments auto-reverse within 5–7 business days. If it doesn't, send us the bank reference in a docket.

The verifying page waits for the gateway confirmation. Leave it open a minute; if it doesn't clear, check Billing and then raise a docket.

Disable pop-up blockers and ad blockers, then retry. If it persists, try a different browser and raise a docket.

Enter your legal name, address and phone in Billing — invoices legally need them before payment.

Use Forgot password on the sign-in screen; a reset link arrives within a minute.

Check spam and promotions, wait two minutes and request again. Whitelist artists@distribeats.com.

Links are short-lived for security — request a new one and open it on the same device.

Open the link in the same browser you requested it from, and don't use an in-app browser like the Instagram one.

Press Resend, verify from the link, then return to the tab — it detects verification automatically within a few seconds.

Refresh the page once; if it still holds, sign out and back in.

That means no active plan is detected. Check Billing; if you've paid, refresh or raise a docket.
