Labelmate, the Royalti.io alternative
Your royalty statements with nothing to copy: Labelmate finds your reports, contracts and invoices in your mailbox, its AI reads your contracts and quotes the passage, a tested engine does the maths to the cent, and your data stays encrypted on your computers.
Compared with Royalti.io point by point, from its own pages and the sources listed below, read on 22 September 2026. Royalti.io is an online platform that imports distributor statements, calculates splits, produces statements and gives artists a portal. It is made by Royalti Digital Music Solutions, in Lagos, Nigeria.
Why choose Labelmate over Royalti.io
Your data stays with you
Royalti.io keeps your data on Google Cloud, in the United States or Europe, for a company based in Nigeria, and its policy provides for transfers out of the EU. Labelmate keeps it encrypted on the label's computers, and our servers only carry sealed copies we cannot read.
AI that reads your contracts
Royalti.io's AI reads your reports' columns and answers your questions, but we found none that reads your contracts: deals are entered there as splits. Labelmate's reads your contracts and invoices and proposes their terms.
No share of your royalties
Royalti.io charges by the value of the statements you process: $19 a month up to $1,000, $99 up to $8,000, then 2% to 1% beyond. Labelmate takes no share of your money: its price depends on how many artists you pay.
Nothing to upload
With Royalti.io, you upload your reports yourself. Labelmate spots your reports, contracts and invoices in your mailbox: all you do is approve.
