The answers to everything artists ask us before upgrading.

Six Eyes has three pricing options: Free at $0, Pro at $1.99/month or $19.99/year, and Label at $49.99/month or $599.88/year. Free keeps 80% of royalties. Paid plans keep 100% with zero commission. There are no per-release fees, no hidden charges and no surprise costs at payout.

If you don't renew, your releases enter a 30-day grace period before being removed from platforms. All royalties earned up to the cancellation date are paid out in full. You can download your release data and metadata before leaving, and you can reactivate at any time to restore your catalog.

Yes. Six Eyes supports catalog migration from all major distributors. Pro subscribers get guided migration support. Label subscribers get hands-on migration from our team, including metadata transfer and ISRC preservation, so there is no gap in your music's availability. Your Spotify for Artists streams and listener data are not affected.

On Pro ($1.99/month or $19.99/year) and Label ($49.99/month or $599.88/year), Six Eyes takes 0% and you keep 100% of every dollar you earn. On the Free plan, Six Eyes retains a 20% royalty commission instead of charging an upfront fee, and you keep 100% the moment you upgrade.

Yes. Pro is $1.99/month or $19.99/year, and Label is $49.99/month or $599.88/year. Monthly and annual billing include exactly the same features, and you can switch billing cycles at your next renewal date.

No. On Pro and Label you can distribute unlimited singles, EPs and albums for one flat subscription. There are no per-release charges, no per-track fees and no extra costs for distributing to different platforms.

We don't currently offer a formal student discount, but Pro is priced to be accessible to emerging artists at every income level. For artists just starting out, the Free plan is a genuine option with no upfront cost. Contact our team if you have a specific situation.
