Common questions
Why switch to AuxPanda?
AuxPanda charges zero buyer fees (major marketplaces typically add a service fee of around 12% at checkout), takes 0% commission on every lease sale even on the free plan, with no upload caps — 0% free tiers elsewhere come with capped uploads or MP3-only restrictions, and freezes your license contract at the moment of purchase. The first 50 producers get 3% on exclusives for life.
Do artists pay fees on AuxPanda?
No. The listed beat price is the full checkout price — AuxPanda never adds buyer service fees.
Can I sell on AuxPanda and other platforms at the same time?
Yes, for non-exclusive leases. If a beat sells exclusively anywhere, take it down everywhere else — AuxPanda automates that for exclusive sales made here.
How much does AuxPanda cost for producers?
Two plans. Free: $0/month, with 0% commission on every lease and 10% only on exclusive licences and full buyouts. Pro: $14.99/month, 0% commission on everything. The first 50 producers cap their exclusive rate at 3% for life on any plan.
