Built for agency scale
Sync agencies run on speed and curation. A senior agent receives 5 to 30 active briefs at any given time. When a hot brief lands (a Netflix supervisor needs a hybrid orchestral cue with a hard ending by Thursday), the agent has 15 minutes to narrow a 2,000-track roster down to 8 or 10 candidates and pitch them. Agencies that respond first get the placement. Agencies that respond second do not.
DropCue was built around this reality. Multi-axis catalog filtering narrows a 2,000-track roster to a 12-track shortlist in 30 seconds. Per-supervisor private playlists let you pre-curate the 30 cues each top-tier music supervisor would most likely use, refresh quarterly, and start every brief from a 30-track shortlist instead of the full catalog. The full breakdown of how this workflow runs sits in our how sync agencies pitch music guide.
A boutique sync agency typically runs 10 to 50 composers. Mid-tier agencies handle 50 to 100. The largest (Heavy Hitters, Sugaroo, Position Music, Riptide) carry rosters of 100 to 200+. At any roster size, the bottleneck is not the catalog itself. It is how fast you can match it to a brief.
DropCue handles roster scale natively. Each composer on the roster gets their own portfolio identity at dropcue.app/p/composer-name. The agency runs the master workspace with agency-wide branding. When a brief lands, the agent assembles a cross-composer pitch playlist by dragging tracks from 5 different writers into one branded URL. The supervisor sees one clean playlist with composer attribution. The agency pitches multiple writers in a single URL instead of 5 separate emails. Auto-grouped ALT mixes and stems ship inside the playlist so the supervisor can hand the link to an editor immediately.
Modern pitching platforms surface engagement data on every pitch. Which composer's tracks the supervisor played, which they replayed, how long they stayed. Use this to refine the next pitch: if the supervisor consistently engages with one composer's work, push that composer harder for that supervisor's next brief. Stop pitching composers who get zero engagement to that supervisor. The agencies that maintain this discipline systematically out-pitch agencies that wing it.
Roster-wide analytics inform A&R. See which composers and which tracks supervisors engage with most across the whole roster. Inform signing decisions, repertoire building, and which composers to feature in agency-wide outreach. Agency-scale insight that DISCO and Reelcrafter do not surface at this depth without paid add-ons.
DropCue plans start at $5 a month with annual billing. Pro plans scale by catalog size from $12 a month for 1,000 tracks up to higher tiers for larger catalogs. There is also a Founding Member option at $599 one-time for lifetime Pro access including all future updates. Same pricing for everyone: composers, agencies, publishers. We do not believe in different "agency tiers" that double the price for the same product. The full pricing detail lives at dropcue.app/pricing.
DropCue takes no revenue share on placements. Aggregator platforms (Songtradr, Musicbed) take 30 to 60 percent of placement fees. DropCue charges only the subscription. When your roster books a $50,000 trailer placement or a $5,000 episodic TV cue, that money flows to the composer and the agency split per your representation deal. We do not touch it.
Most agencies that switch to DropCue were running on DISCO.ac with annual contracts that scaled significantly with roster size. The Disco Switcher migration tool handles bulk catalog import with metadata preservation, ALT mix auto-grouping, supervisor contact import, and tag taxonomy mapping. Most rosters migrate in under a day. There is also a paid offer that converts your existing DISCO subscription into DropCue credit, so the agency does not pay twice during the transition.
For agencies actively pitching, the lift in turnaround speed is the real ROI. Cutting brief-to-pitch time from hours to minutes translates directly into more shortlists made and more placements closed. The fastest way to see if it fits your workflow is to start a free trial and import a sample of your catalog.
Agencies ready to test the workflow can start a free 7-day trial. No credit card required. Have your full catalog imported in an evening.
