You made the music.
You should get paid for it.
How Bela compares
Bela takes zero from your sales. 100% goes to you (minus Stripe's standard payment processing fee of ~$0.53 per $8 album). We fund the platform through listener subscriptions.
How it works for you
1. Sign up (free, 2 minutes)
No subscription. No annual fee. No upfront cost. We make money from listener subscriptions, 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. Monthly payouts via Stripe. Every penny visible on your dashboard.
When you publish, 2 promo copies automatically enter the lending library. Users can borrow and discover your music from day one.
What we'll never do
- Never take a cut from your sales (currently 0%, permanently 0%)
- Never require exclusivity
- Never call your music "content"
- Never use your music to train AI
- Never hide how the money flows
- Never lock you in - leave anytime with no penalty
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.
