The math stopped making sense

The old way is built for the platform. Audioustry is built for you.

The legacy platform

  • Locked into 7-year exclusive contracts
  • As little as 25% royalty on each sale
  • No access to your listeners’ contact info
  • One catalog, buried by an algorithm
  • Months of waiting for approval

Audioustry

  • No exclusivity — sell anywhere, anytime
  • Keep up to 85% of every single sale
  • Own your audience with a built-in CRM
  • Your own branded storefront subdomain
  • Apply in minutes, publish the same week

Everything in one place

Your entire audio business, without the tool sprawl

Storefront, production, payments, marketing and analytics — replacing the five subscriptions you are probably paying for right now.

Your own storefront

A branded space at handle.audioustry.com. Send fans straight to you — they never touch the marketplace.

Three ways to sell

One-time purchase, your own monthly membership, or the platform listening pool. Mix and match per title.

AI production studio

Auto-mastering, transcription, chapter detection, promo-clip generation and cover art — built in.

Marketing on autopilot

Audience CRM, broadcast email, scheduled releases, posts and listener Q&A — no extra tools to wire up.

Analytics that matter

See finishes, drop-off, revenue and your best chapters in real time. Know exactly what to make next.

Instant, honest payouts

Stripe Connect direct to your bank. No reserves, no minimum threshold, no creative accounting.

From our beta authors

Creators are already switching

I moved my back catalog over in an afternoon and made more in the first month than a full quarter on the old platform.

Storefront, payouts, analytics, email — it replaced four tools I was paying for. And I keep way more of the money.

Questions, answered

Everything you might be wondering

Is Audioustry exclusive?

Never. You keep full rights and can sell the same audio anywhere else at the same time. No lock-in clauses, no penalties.

How fast do I get paid?

Payouts run through Stripe Connect straight to your bank on a standard schedule. There is no reserve and no minimum payout threshold.

What files can I upload?

MP3, M4A, WAV and FLAC, uploaded chapter by chapter. We automatically package everything into HLS for adaptive streaming.

Do I keep my audience?

Yes. You own your followers and their contact details through the built-in CRM, and you can export your audience at any time.

What does it cost to join?

Joining is free. We only earn when you do: 15% on direct sales, 20% on memberships, 30% on the listening pool.
