Why you should pick vvault

BeatStars lists your beats on a marketplace. vvault does what BeatStars doesn't: it gets your beats to the artists you pick, by link or by email, and tells you who pressed play, by name, and for how long. And when you sell, vvault takes 0% commission and adds no fee for your buyers, while BeatStars adds a 12% service fee to purchases on its Marketplace. Seeing who played is on every plan, and listening time and selling come with Pro and Ultra.

Questions about vvault and BeatStars

Why should I pick vvault over BeatStars?

Pick vvault if you send beats to artists yourself: you see who played each one, by name when they're signed in to vvault or got it by email from you, and on Pro and Ultra, for how long. You email your beats from vvault on every plan, and store as many tracks as you want. BeatStars' stats show totals, and its Marketplace adds a 12% service fee for buyers.

Can I see who played my beats on BeatStars?

We found no way on BeatStars' pages: its stats show totals, and you get the emails of your buyers, and of free downloaders if you ask for them. On vvault, every play, download and save comes with a notification, by name when the listener is signed in to vvault or got the beat by email from you.

Two plans, Pro and Ultra, monthly or yearly. Both give you unlimited tracks, a link for every beat, email to as many people as you want and a notification for every play. BeatStars' plans start at $4.99 a month, and its Marketplace adds a 12% service fee for buyers. Pro and Ultra both show how long each person listened and let you sell at 0% commission, and Ultra adds follow-ups that send themselves and posts snippets to TikTok, Reels and Shorts for you: see pricing.
