We get it, man. $199 for a custom song can seem like a lot. But hear us out. Songfinch is the only platform in the world that uses real independent artists to create your custom songs. This is important on two levels.
#1. We vet our artists
When you order a custom song through Songfinch, you’re guaranteed to get a hit that you’ll actually love. Like, not just play for a reveal video and then remember you have it once a year. But a song you’ll want on your Spotify playlists, by an artist you’ll continue to follow long after your song is done.
We care about hiring artists that are actually up to the task, so we have a somewhat rigorous application and training process to ensure they’re up to snuff. Since quality is of the utmost importance to us, your artist has to be able to write, produce, record, and mix their own songs. Add in the cool factor that these are all up-and-comers, so who’s to say you’re not buying a song from the future Harry Styles? You never know!
#2. We pay our artists fairly
Truth be told, it’s almost impossible for independent artists to make a living off of streaming services. We break the whole thing down in this article but here are the cliff notes. It takes about 600,000 streams on Spotify for an artist to earn the equivalent of one Songfinch song. 80% of the artists on Spotify have 50 monthly listeners, which earns them about $0.22. Not an easy way to make a living!
Breaking it down even further, when you get a custom song from a Songfinch artist, you’re receiving a studio-quality product. Our artists don’t just switch out names and give everyone the same song, your song is created custom for you using the details you provide.
If you were to enter a recording session with the goal of creating one song, it could cost you as much as $20,000 to get the job done. Yikes! Pair that with our Worry-Free Guarantee which ensures you’ll be happy with your final product, and well, that sounds like a pretty good deal to us.
At the end of the day, we know $199 is a steep price but we’re here to help! We truly believe everyone should have access to create good music, so we’ve kept the quality product as price-conscious as possible while supporting independent artists. We’ve also partnered with Klarna to give customers the option of making 4 easy payments rather than one chunky one at the start. And if you’re a coupon lover, well then make sure you sign up for our weekly emails, because we’ve been known to sneak a good deal or two in there ;)
