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.
