Why Labels Choose LabelLift

Universal Music Group distribution — your catalog travels through the world's largest music company. IT Music has no comparable partnership.

Marketing tools — pre-save campaigns, smart links, and campaign tracking built in.

Revenue split flexibility — fully configurable per artist. No fixed 15% platform cut.

Multi-label support — manage multiple labels under a single tenant account.

Actually cheaper at scale — at ₹20K/mo revenue, IT Music costs ₹3,999 (15% + ₹999) vs LabelLift at ₹2,000.

Where IT Music Has Strengths

Lowest price — ₹999/month is half of LabelLift's entry price.

CRBT / Caller Tunes — included, a valuable revenue stream in India.

YouTube suite — CMS management, OAC setup, and social fingerprinting included.

The Verdict

IT Music is fine for testing the waters at ₹999/month. But their 15% revenue share costs more than LabelLift's flat fee once you start making money — and you're still missing Universal Music Group distribution, marketing tools, and a platform built for scale. Start with the platform your future self will thank you for.
