Priced on what you run
Software you run yourself, or a team that runs it for you — and a catalogue-sized number either way, never a rate card.

Software
Everything on this ground is software you licence and operate yourself: two plans on one catalogue, and the two portals that sit on top of them.

Contracts, deliveries and royalty accounting for the recording side of the house.

Start-Up
Coming soonBelow roughly €500 a month, melino is more system than a small catalogue needs. A lighter tier is on the way for exactly that case — leave your address and we will come to you when it is ready.
€199per month, when it lands
No sales call in between. We write once, when it is ready.
One portal is free. One is an add-on
Neither is sold on its own: both sit on top of a Label or Publishing plan, which is why they belong to this group and not the next one.
Artist Portal
Catalogue, financial data and statements in line-level detail, for your artists.
Included with every plan — not a product we sell you.
Free
Supplier Portal
Where suppliers deliver recordings and releases, and track what happens to them.
An add-on to a Label or Publishing plan, per month.

Services
The other way to buy, and priced the other way round: you are paying for the team, and the software you need comes with the engagement rather than being bought beside it.
Royalty Accounting, and the rest
Royalty accounting, neighbouring rights, product management: we run your back office end to end, and every engagement is quoted on what it actually involves.
The software always comes with the service — the two only work together, so we do not charge for them twice. Which software comes with it depends on the service.
As a guideline, Royalty Accounting adds 50% on top of the software plan it runs on.
For example
The Label software is in that figure, at no extra cost.
The whole picture
How the two groups add up
The first two rows are the alternatives. Every row below them adds to the one above it, and the last one is where the service takes over from the software.
| What you take | From, per month |
|---|---|
| Label€500 | from €500 |
| Publishing€500 | from €500 |
| Label + Publishing€1,000 · −20% (−€200) | from €800 |
| + Supplier Portal+€200 · Add-ons are not discounted | from €1,000 |
| + Artist Portal€0 · Always included | from €1,000 |
| + Royalty AccountingIncluded in the service · +50% of the software | Quoted |
The 20% applies to the two software plans, not to add-ons. Every figure is a starting price at the smallest catalogue: the plan grows with catalogue size and the options you take, and Managed Services are quoted per engagement.
