Pricing beats right is essential to balance sales volume and revenue. Too low, and you might undervalue your work; too high, and you risk scaring away buyers. Understanding different license types and market expectations is key.


 Key Factors to Consider When Pricing Beats


1. License Types

  • Basic Lease:
    Non-exclusive, limited usage rights. Usually priced $20–$50.
  • Premium Lease:
    More extensive usage rights (higher streaming limits, commercial use). Usually $50–$100+.
  • Exclusive Rights:
    Full ownership transfer, no one else can use the beat. Prices range from $200 to $1,000+.


2. Market Research

  • Check what similar producers in your genre and experience level charge.
  • Avoid pricing far above or below market norms unless you have a strong brand.


3. Your Experience & Brand

  • New producers may start with lower prices to build a client base.
  • Established producers with a strong following can charge premium prices.


4. Beat Quality & Demand

  • Higher-quality, unique, or in-demand beats command higher prices.
  • Use analytics to adjust prices based on sales and interest.


 How to Set Prices on BeatStars

  • During beat upload or edit, set prices per license.
  • You can use BeatStars presets or create custom license templates.
  • Consider offering discounts or bundle deals.


 Final Tip:

Start with competitive lease prices, then increase rates as your brand grows. Always clearly explain license terms so buyers understand what they’re paying for.
