Everything You're Wondering About
Straight answers about what SongPilot does and who it is for.
ProductWhat is SongPilot?
What is SongPilot?
SongPilot is the artist management platform for independents, managers, and labels. Catalog and lyrics, distribution to all major global streaming platforms, download stores, social/video networks, and regional services worldwide (Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok and Instagram, Anghami, Boomplay, JioSaavn, KKBOX), release planning, campaigns, media studio, social content, multi-artist team workspaces, and an eight-agent AI team—AI&R, Manager, Producer, Songwriter, Visual Director, Social Media Manager, Publicist and Support—plus custom agents. Everything a label team does, without the label overhead.
ProductWhat makes SongPilot different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?
What makes SongPilot different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?
Generic chatbots have no context about your music or career. SongPilot’s AI specialists know your catalog, lyrics, and story—and sit inside your release workflow. You can also create custom agents for your specific process.
ProductHow does SongPilot help me release music faster?
How does SongPilot help me release music faster?
Most of the time between finishing a song and releasing it is spent waiting on other people and other tools: a mix, a master, artwork, a video, a campaign. In SongPilot your AI crew does each of those in one place, and each step picks up what the last one made, so the song is ready to deliver far sooner. Stores still need lead time after delivery; SongPilot shortens everything before that. And each release grows the audience and catalog the next one starts from.
ProductCan I talk to the agents instead of typing?
Can I talk to the agents instead of typing?
Yes. Tap the mic in the chat, say what you want, and your words land in the conversation as your message. The agent answers in writing and out loud in its own voice, so a question to your Producer sounds different from one to your Publicist. Only the words are kept, never your audio. Speaking costs 1 credit per 10 seconds you talk and 2 credits per 100 characters an agent says, on top of the normal chat turn.
Getting StartedWho is SongPilot for?
Who is SongPilot for?
Independent artists, managers, and labels. Solo artists get a full career workspace. Managers and labels get multi-artist workspaces, team permissions, and a shared dashboard (Pro Label and Enterprise).
ProductWhat AI specialists are available?
What AI specialists are available?
Eight, in every workspace: AI&R (your first contact, who brings the right specialist in on whatever you ask), Manager (strategy, release planning and your career), Producer (mixes and masters your songs, and gives dated feedback on your recordings: loudness, mix, arrangement and the fixes that matter most), Songwriter (coaching on lyrics, rhyme, syllables and chords; you write the song), Visual Director (artwork, imagery and music videos), Social Media Manager (writes and schedules your posts in your voice), Publicist (bios and press materials) and Support (answers about using SongPilot, any time). You can also create custom agents for anything else you need.
ProductCan I manage multiple artists?
Can I manage multiple artists?
Yes, on the Pro Label tier ($99/mo). Manage up to 9 artists/workspaces with team permissions and a unified dashboard. Each artist gets their own workspace and AI specialists. Enterprise plans support larger rosters.
ProductHow does the AI visual generation work?
How does the AI visual generation work?
Upload training photos and describe what you want—"album cover in a neon-lit alley," "acoustic set in a forest." Your Visual Director generates professional imagery with your identity preserved. You can also turn any image into video with motion effects.
ProductCan I create my own AI agents?
Can I create my own AI agents?
Yes! On Creator plans and above, you can create custom agents tailored to your specific needs. They'll have access to your catalog and story, just like the built-in specialists.
DistributionI already have a distributor—DistroKid, CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. Can I switch without losing my streams?
I already have a distributor—DistroKid, CD Baby, TuneCore, etc. Can I switch without losing my streams?
Yes. Stores tie stream counts to the ISRC on each song and the UPC on each release, not to the distributor. SongPilot delivers your catalog with the same codes while the old copies are still live, the stores match them up, and your play history stays put. Prefer to stay where you are? SongPilot works alongside any distributor too.
DistributionWhat fees come out of my royalties?
What fees come out of my royalties?
A 5% store fee on streaming and download royalties, and 20% on YouTube Content ID and social platform earnings (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram). The rest is yours, and you keep 100% of the rights to your music.
DistributionHow does that compare to a record deal?
How does that compare to a record deal?
Major-label deals typically pay artists 20–25% of royalties, usually only after the label earns back its advance and costs, and the label owns the masters. Indie labels often split profits 50/50, and label services deals usually take 15–30%. SongPilot takes 5%, you keep your masters, and you still get the team a label would bring: mixing, mastering, artwork, video, release campaigns and eight AI agents working alongside you.
DistributionDo collaborators get paid their split automatically?
Do collaborators get paid their split automatically?
Yes. Set the split percentages on each song's credits, and SongPilot pays every collaborator their share of the royalties once they connect a payout account. Every artist gets a statement showing what each song earned on each store, and streaming analytics sit alongside it: listeners, saves, skips and shares by country, each with the date the store has reported up to.
BillingCan I cancel anytime?
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can cancel anytime from your billing settings. If you cancel mid-month, you keep access until your billing period ends.
BillingWhat happens to my content if I cancel?
What happens to my content if I cancel?
You own everything you create. Download your content before you cancel. Only the AI generation and workspace access end. Releases distributed through SongPilot are taken down from the stores once your paid period ends.
ProductWhat if the AI creates something I don't like?
What if the AI creates something I don't like?
Iterate with your agent—give feedback, adjust direction, regenerate. You're always in creative control. The AI suggests; you decide what represents you.
SecurityIs my music and data secure?
