It validates audio specs, waveforms, bitrates, and artwork to match Spotify and Apple Music requirements, auto-fills metadata and credits, syncs release timing across platforms, and keeps artists informed with transparent delivery timelines and exportable receipts.
The platform operates on a usage-based pricing model — the first 15 minutes of audio uploads are free, and after that it costs $1 (or 33⅓¢ per minute). There are no subscriptions or hidden fees, making it flexible and accessible for independent musicians.
Currently in public beta, ONCE focuses on instant distribution, but its roadmap includes end-to-end royalty registration across PROs, SoundExchange, The MLC, neighboring rights, and sync platforms, aiming to automate the full music revenue chain.
In short, ONCE lets artists upload once and deliver everywhere — cutting days of admin work down to seconds so they can get back to making music.
