What composers say about DropCue

17 verified reviews from working composers and musicians.

“The new album features are a total game-changer. I don't know of any other platform that offers this. Now I can send an editor one playlist where everything is accessible, complete with direct links to the licensing pages. It makes the whole process seamless.”
Jake Cox — Composer
“DropCue combines the best of the best into one beautiful place. I'll be referring my friends and anybody who needs a fully featured platform. Y'all have made my dream come true.”
Dee Eye — DMD Record Productions
“I've been using DropCue for awhile now, and it's been nothing short of fantastic. I've used a few other music sharing platforms before, but this is at the top of the list for me. Super user-friendly, full of great features, and solid customer support. Also, no complaints that it's a fraction of the cost of competitors! Glad I made the switch!”
Jason T. Miller — Composer — TV's Frasier
“Visually Intuitive, Workflow-Driven Music Sharing Powerhouse”

“The app is fantastic!”
Erick Bolivar — Film, TV and Trailer Composer

Stella Tartsinis — Composer for Film, TV and Trailers

Craig Gilroy — Film and Trailer Composer
“DropCue has integrated into my workflow seamlessly. The flexibility and clean interface has really elevated my submissions.”
Mike Fraumeni — Composer
“Wow! This is way better than Reelcrafter by far. Great work on this. I was able to make a playlist really quickly and I love all the metadata options and the AI generated artwork is a really cool feature.”
Colten Tyler Williams — Composer
“DropCue’s AI handles cue descriptions, artwork, key and BPM, and I can see exactly who’s listening to what. Timestamped feedback from publishers makes revisions clear and streamlined.”
George Cicci — Composer, Producer, Sound Designer
“I switched to DropCue after years of being frustrated with DISCO, and I can't believe everything it offers. Pitching for sync and organizing my catalog just got so much more manageable.”
Devyn Rush — Singer, Songwriter & Vocalist
“I honestly can't remember the last time I received a support email this thoughtful, complete, and personal. That says a great deal about the company you're building.”
Michael Shelton — Iron Bell Song Publishing
“I'm glad I found a platform that combines an intuitive interface, user-friendly functionality, and cares about composers.”
Alexander Park — Composer
“DropCue provides the best and most responsive customer service!”
Eric McDonald — Musician and Guitarist
“Thanks for reviewing my songs. What surprised me most was the depth of knowledge behind the feedback. The criticism was always constructive and incisive, and it's made me think seriously about reworking some of my tracks, mostly on the arrangements and production side. I'd absolutely recommend sending your songs in for review, and I'll be sending more of mine soon.”
Jeff Palmer — Cornish Kings
“The fact that you are a highly successful and experienced composer is really reflected in all the features available in DropCue. You've clearly put a lot of thought and effort into making an exceptionally useful (and fun to use) app. The design and aesthetics are so visually attractive and easy to navigate.”
Robin Alciatore — Musician and Composer

FAQ

Common questions

What is DropCue?

DropCue is an EPK (electronic press kit) and playlist sharing platform for music and video professionals. Composers, artists, sync agencies, and music libraries use DropCue to build branded press kits and share curated playlists via secure links with real-time analytics, timestamped waveform comments, password protection, and download controls. Plans start at $5/month, and the EPK page is on Pro from $15/month with annual billing.

What is an EPK?

An EPK (electronic press kit) is a digital one-stop hub that musicians and composers send to music supervisors, agencies, labels, and journalists. A great EPK includes a bio, a curated music sample, a video reel, contact info, and links to streaming and social. DropCue lets you build a branded EPK in minutes and share it as a single link with full analytics on who viewed what.

How do I make an EPK?

To make an EPK in DropCue: sign up at dropcue.app, upload your best tracks and a video reel, add a short bio and your contact info, customize colors and your domain, and share the link. Most musicians have a polished EPK live in under 15 minutes. Unlike static PDF press kits, your DropCue EPK shows you exactly who opened it, what they played, and how long they listened.

What is the best DISCO.ac alternative for music pitching?

DropCue is a popular DISCO.ac alternative that offers comparable features at lower prices. DropCue Starter is $5/month with annual billing. Pro plans start at $15/month for 1,000 tracks and scale by catalog size. Everything is included: full analytics, timestamped waveform comments, password protection, and document attachments. DISCO charges $29.99/month plus add-on fees for analytics and other features.

What is the best playlist sharing platform for sync licensing?

DropCue is a playlist sharing platform built specifically for sync licensing professionals. It lets composers, agencies, and libraries share music and video via branded links with real-time analytics showing who played which tracks and for how long. Features include video uploads, playlist sections, timestamped feedback comments, password protection, automatic ALT mix grouping, and a music submission inbox. Free 7-day trial at dropcue.app.

How much does DropCue cost?

DropCue Starter is $5/month with annual billing or $7/month monthly. Pro plans start at $15/month annual for 1,000 tracks and scale up by catalog size. Same pricing for composers, agencies, supervisors — no per-seat fees. Annual billing saves up to 23%.

What is the DropCue Business Suite?

The DropCue Business Suite is a set of pro tools on the Studio plan that lets music composers run the entire business side of sync licensing in one place. It includes the Label Directory (700+ record labels, publishers and ad agencies to pitch, each with its own tracked link so you know who listened), Roster (track every composer and collaborator you work with, rated and tagged by skill), Market Scanner (find upcoming film & TV opportunities to pitch), Pitch Pipeline (a sync pitch CRM that tracks deals from prospect to placed), Agreement Generator (create sync licensing contracts as PDF and Word in seconds), Clients & License Tracker (manage clients, projects, invoices, and licenses), Royalty Tracker (analyze PRO and distributor royalty statements by track, territory, and source), and DropCue University (61 lessons on the business of sync). Studio starts at $33/month.

What is DropCue Studio?

DropCue Studio is the top DropCue plan for serious music composers, starting at $33/month. It includes everything in Pro plus the full Business Suite — Label Directory, Roster, Market Scanner, Pitch Pipeline, Agreement Generator, Clients & License Tracker, and Royalty Tracker — and free access to DropCue University. Studio turns DropCue from a music sharing tool into a complete music-management platform: find the work, pitch it, sign it, get paid, and learn to do it better.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The 7-day free trial requires no credit card. Sign up with just your email and start building playlists immediately.

Can I import tracks from other platforms?

Yes. Upload any audio or video format — WAV, MP3, AIFF, FLAC, MP4, MOV, WebM. Drag and drop multiple files at once. Embedded metadata is automatically imported, and you can also bulk-import metadata from a CSV or spreadsheet — map columns, match to tracks, and apply instantly.

Will DropCue recognize my existing tags, and does AI tagging preserve them?

Yes. If you've tagged your files in Mp3tag or a similar tool, DropCue reads those embedded tags automatically on upload — title, artist, album, genre, mood, BPM, key, comments, lyrics, ISRC, writers, publishers, and cover art. AI analysis only fills in fields you left empty, so your existing tags stay exactly as they are. Wherever you already have a value, DropCue shows the AI suggestion next to yours in a review screen, and you accept or ignore it field by field. Nothing you tagged is overwritten unless you choose to.

What happens when my trial ends?

Your playlists and tracks stay safe. You just can't create new shares until you pick a plan. Starter is just $5/mo with annual billing.

How is DropCue different from the competition?

Half the price, no add-on fees. Analytics are built in, never a $10/mo add-on. Plus features like timestamped comments, playlist sections, music inbox, and public portfolio pages that others don't offer.

Can I upload videos, images, and PDFs?

Yes. Pro plans support video uploads (MP4, MOV, WebM) alongside your audio tracks — perfect for showreels, music videos, or visual pitches. You can also attach PDFs and documents like cue sheets, lyric sheets, and license agreements to any track or playlist. Album artwork and playlist cover images are supported on all plans.

Can I send email campaigns to my contacts?

Yes — Pro plans include built-in email campaigns. Choose a template, write your message, select recipients by tag or list, and send or schedule. Track deliveries, opens, clicks, and bounces in real time. Up to 2,000 recipients per campaign.

Can I collaborate with co-writers?

Yes. Credit a co-writer by email and the track lands in their own DropCue library, with your artwork and metadata, ready to accept in one click. People who aren't on DropCue get an invite to claim it, and you can share a whole album at once. Co-writer collaboration is included on Pro plans.

What is the Business Suite on the Studio plan?

DropCue Studio adds a Business Suite that turns DropCue into a full music-business platform — not just a place to share music. It includes a Royalty Tracker (import royalty statements from any PRO or distributor and see which placements actually earn), an Agreement Generator (create sync license agreements as PDF and editable Word docs), a License Tracker (one record of every license you've granted), a Pitch Pipeline (a kanban board for every active pitch), and a Market Scanner (discover productions that need music). Studio starts at $33/mo with annual billing.

What is DropCue University?

DropCue University is a complete, self-paced online course on the business of sync licensing, included with the Studio plan — 61 in-depth lessons across 8 career tracks, plus 79 downloadable templates, checklists, and trackers. It teaches independent composers and songwriters how to get placed in film, TV, ads, trailers, and games, and how to get paid properly. The first two lessons are free to preview.
