You made the music.
You should get paid for it.
How Bela compares
Bela takes zero from your sales. 100% goes to you (minus PayPal's standard payment processing fee of ~$0.73 per $8 album). We fund the platform through community memberships, not by taking from artists.
How it works for you
1. Sign up (free, 2 minutes)
Free to join. We're funded by community memberships, not from you.
2. Upload (10 minutes)
WAV or FLAC. Cover art. Title and price. That's it. Publish instantly - no review queue, no waiting.
3. Get paid
100% of every sale goes to you. Payouts go directly to your PayPal account. Every penny visible on your dashboard.
When you publish, 2 copies automatically enter the shared library. Members can borrow and discover your music from day one - and when they love it, they buy their own copy.
What we'll never do
- Never take a cut from your sales (0%, permanently). The platform is funded by its members, not by your revenue.
- Never require exclusivity
- Never use your music to train AI

Join the launch
We're launching in Philly with a small group of independent artists. If you own your music and believe in what we're building, we'd love to hear from you.
