Every DropCue price, by catalog size

Pro and Studio are both ladders: you pick the track allowance you need and the price follows it. Nothing else changes between tiers on the same plan. These are the complete published prices in US dollars.

A team seat on Pro or Studio is a full copy of the plan, so a two-person team pays the tier price twice. Team plans are Pro and Studio only; Artist is a solo plan. Above 20,000 tracks there is no published price, so get in touch.

What every DropCue plan includes

Every plan, from Artist at $8 per month through Pro, includes secure branded share links, an inline audio player, organized playlist sections, download controls, and a music submission inbox. Pro, from $15 per month annual, adds per-recipient listen analytics, password protection, and expiring share links. There are no separate add-on charges for analytics and no enterprise tier that doubles the price for the same features. Team seats on Pro and Studio are a full copy of the plan each.

How the free trial works

Every DropCue plan starts with a 7-day free trial. No credit card is required to begin. The trial unlocks full Pro features for 7 days, including all AI tools (BPM detection, key detection, AI cue descriptions, AI lyrics transcription, AI cover art generation, and 5 free AI stem separation credits), email campaigns, the submission inbox, and per-recipient analytics. If no billing method is added when the trial ends, the account converts to a free read-only tier; existing playlists stay accessible but no new shares can be created until a plan is selected.

Annual vs monthly billing

Annual billing saves up to 23% compared to monthly. Artist is $8 per month with annual billing ($96 annually) or $10 per month with monthly billing ($84 annually, a $24 premium). Pro plans follow the same pattern. Annual billing is recommended for working music professionals because the savings compound year over year and there is never a price surprise.

How DropCue pricing compares to alternatives in 2026

DISCO.ac, the most established music sharing platform in the sync industry, starts at $10.80 per month for the Artist tier and reaches $29.99 per month for the Pro tier. Analytics on DISCO are an add-on at approximately $10 per month, and watermarking is an additional $29 per month. A fully-loaded DISCO Pro plan costs roughly $68.99 per month, or about $828 per year. By comparison, DropCue Artist is $96 per year and DropCue Pro is $180 per year. Over a 12-month period, switching from a fully-loaded DISCO Pro plan to DropCue Artist saves approximately $732.

Reelcrafter pricing starts at approximately $10 per month and focuses on video-first showreels. Byta starts at approximately $8 per month and targets labels and PR teams. DropCue is consistently the lowest all-in price among professional music sharing platforms in 2026 and the only one that bundles AI tools, email campaigns, and analytics into every plan without add-on charges.
