Plan usage

The Plan Usage section shows how much of your plan limits you’re currently using:

• Active tracks - Number of active tracks vs. your plan’s track limit
• Active labels - Number of active labels vs. your plan’s label limit

Click Refresh to update your usage statistics.

Understanding your plan limits

Your plan limits are based on active tracks and labels — not your total catalog.

Active tracks are all tracks in releases that are distributed to at least one streaming platform (DSP). Tracks in draft or pending releases that haven’t been distributed do not count toward your limit. Tracks in releases that have been fully taken down from all DSPs also do not count — but if a release is still live on even one DSP, its tracks count.

Active tracks are counted by unique ISRC (International Standard Recording Code). If the same ISRC appears across multiple releases — for example, a track released as a single and also included in a compilation album — it counts as one active track, not two.

Active labels are all record labels that have at least one active (distributed) release. Labels with no distributed releases do not count toward your label limit.

Example

If you have 50 tracks across 10 distributed releases, and another 20 tracks in draft releases that haven’t been distributed yet, only the 50 distributed tracks count toward your track limit. And if 5 of those 50 tracks share ISRCs with tracks in other distributed releases (e.g., the same track appears on both a single and a compilation), those are counted only once each — so your active track count would be 45, not 50.

Note

If you’re approaching your plan’s limits, consider upgrading your plan for higher track and label allowances. Visit our pricing page to compare plans.

LabelGrid GATE Plan

LabelGrid GATE is a limited plan designed specifically for users who want to use the WordPress plugin (LabelGrid Gate) without distribution.

What GATE includes

• Create and manage releases - Build your catalog within LabelGrid
• WordPress catalog sync - Your release catalog is automatically exported from LabelGrid to your WordPress website (synced twice daily). LabelGrid is the source of truth; WordPress receives the synced data.
• Pre-save campaigns - Create pre-save campaigns for your releases
• No distribution - GATE does not include distribution to streaming platforms

Who GATE is for

GATE is ideal if you:

• Already distribute through another service
• Want your release catalog automatically synced from LabelGrid to your WordPress site
• Want to run pre-save campaigns for releases distributed elsewhere

For GATE pricing, visit our pricing page.

Need distribution?

If you want to distribute your music to streaming platforms, choose a Solo, Basic, Pro, or Custom plan instead. These plans include both distribution and WordPress integration features.
