Pricing Factors to Consider
Beat Quality and Demand
Higher prices make more sense when the beat has:- Strong production quality
- Unique sound or obvious market fit
- Proven play activity or buyer interest
- Premium deliverables such as stems, MIDI, or full trackouts
Your Catalog Strategy
Think about whether the beat is:- A broad discovery beat that benefits from Standard + Exclusive
- A premium record you want to protect as Exclusive Only
- A flexible catalog beat where a moderate exclusive price makes sense
Your Reputation
Pricing should also reflect:- Your current credits
- Your catalog depth
- The quality of your profile presentation
- How often buyers already engage with your beats
Contact Email Matters
BeatPass requires a contact email on exclusive-capable tracks. Buyers may use it when:- They have licensing questions
- They want to discuss custom terms
- Instant purchase is not the right fit for the situation
Payment & Payout Notes
When someone completes an exclusive purchase:- The buyer pays your listed price plus the BeatPass platform fee
- BeatPass records the sale in your producer finances
- Stripe handles settlement and payout to your connected account
You need Stripe Connect set up before BeatPass can pay you out for exclusive sales.
After the Beat Sells
Once a beat is sold exclusively:- The beat is marked Sold
- The exclusive terms are locked
- BeatPass stops new standard licenses for that beat
Common Questions
Can I change the price later?
Can I change the price later?
Yes, as long as the beat has not already sold exclusively.
Should every beat have the same price?
Should every beat have the same price?
Usually no. It is more practical to price around demand, deliverables, and how premium the beat really is.
What if I want to talk to the buyer first?
What if I want to talk to the buyer first?
Use the exclusive contact email so buyers can reach out before or instead of immediate purchase.
Do I need to document Stripe's exact fees here?
Do I need to document Stripe's exact fees here?
No. BeatPass docs should explain the platform fee and payout dependency without overpromising processor-specific fees that can vary.
