Our verdict on Horus Music
Horus Music is a paid music distribution, publishing and label-services company for independent artists, bands, DJs, producers, songwriters and record labels. Its distribution offering covers unlimited singles, EPs and albums, with delivery to digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, TIDAL, YouTube Music and TikTok. Artists receive free UPC and ISRC codes, pre-saves, smartlinks, pre-orders, analytics, royalty reporting and collaborator splits. The artist package retains 100% of royalties, while label plans add roster management and permissions.
Pricing is structured around recurring unlimited distribution and one-off releases. Unlimited Distribution — Artist costs £20 per year and includes delivery to 100+ stores worldwide, plus royalty splits and promotional tools. Unlimited Distribution — Labels, 2 Artists costs £30 per year and adds artist sub-profiles, automatic label-to-artist splits, multiple users and role permissions. Pay Per Release costs £25 for a single, £35 for an EP or £45 for an album, each as a one-time payment. Artist & Label Services includes a dedicated account manager, editorial playlist pitching, video distribution and additional promotion, using an invite-only revenue split model.
The platform’s broader ecosystem reaches beyond basic store delivery. YouTube Content ID delivery and monetization, publishing administration and sync licensing give artists options for managing rights across additional channels. Label users get sub-profiles and role permissions, while monthly payout scheduling supports recurring royalty administration. Horus Music suits artists releasing regularly, collaborators who need track-level splits and small labels that want roster tools without giving up full royalties on the artist package. It is less suitable for creators seeking a free entry tier, a standalone desktop application or a simple no-cost release option.
