Beat Pricing Guide
A quick framework for setting prices — not a universal price list.
Set three tiers on every beat
- Lease — low friction, volume. Start $20–$30.
- Premium — WAV + stems, higher limits. $40–$80.
- Exclusive — full transfer, scarcity. $300+.
Adjust by stage
- Getting started: low leases, build a buyer list.
- Building: raise leases, push premium as the upsell.
- Expanding: price exclusives to demand.
Avoid
- One price for everything
- Constant discounts that devalue your catalog
- Pricing by effort instead of value to the buyer
No price is correct for everyone. Match price to your stage and your buyer. This guide does not promise income.
Action: Review your catalog pricing.
