The core difference
A standard Artist or Artist Pro account is built around a single artist identity releasing their own music (even with team members helping run it). A Label account is built for managing multiple different artists under one umbrella — the operational model of a small label or a manager handling several acts.
What Label accounts get
- Everything included in Artist Pro (unlimited profiles, Content ID, advanced analytics, priority support, publishing administration).
- Custom DDEX party name — your label's name appears correctly in the underlying metadata standard stores use, rather than defaulting to a generic party name.
- Custom commission splits — set up how revenue is divided when you're distributing on behalf of artists you work with, rather than manually tracking this outside the platform.
- Automated contracts — streamlines the agreement process when onboarding artists to your label.
- Bulk upload via CSV — submit multiple releases' metadata at once rather than one at a time through the standard upload wizard, useful for catalog moves or high-volume labels.
Coming soon
A white-label panel and per-artist child panels are planned, which will let you give each artist you manage their own delegated, scoped-down view into their own releases and analytics without full label-level access.
Access regardless of subscription status
Unlike standard artist accounts, Label accounts retain full dashboard access even if subscription status changes — this reflects that a label account is managing distribution infrastructure for multiple artists' careers, not releasing under its own single artist name.
Upgrading to Label
If you're currently on Artist or Artist Pro and are managing more than one artist's catalog, contact support about upgrading to Label — this typically involves a conversation about your specific setup rather than a simple self-service plan switch, since commission splits and DDEX party naming need to be configured correctly from the start.
