What it is worth
What is a music catalog worth to AI companies?
A music catalog cannot be priced from a track count alone. LANDR publishes a pooled share of 25% of net licensing revenue. That describes a participation formula, not a per-track earning forecast.
The short version
- Check master, publishing and performer permissions separately.
- LANDR allocates its pool using qualifying tracks included in each dataset.
- A promotional advance is recoupable; confirm the actual offer and participation conditions.
Published examples and terms
Each example describes the named source and its stated scope. These are not Fiund prices or guaranteed individual payouts.

The denominator matters
A share depends on the revenue received and the recordings included. A track in your catalog may not be selected for a particular dataset.
Read the exit provisions
LANDR distinguishes limited-period and perpetual partner datasets. Leaving a program does not automatically reverse existing licenses or trained models. Check the applicable terms rather than assuming an immediate removal.
Limits to the comparison
A disclosed percentage does not reveal what your recordings will earn. LANDR’s page shows differing promotional advance amounts, while its terms make the offer promotion-specific. This guide therefore does not present a fixed current advance.

What Fiund quotes, and what it does not
The examples concern the named providers, agreements or disclosures. Fiund confirms availability, permitted use, preparation and price for a reviewed collection. The payouts page and contributor agreement explain its compensation terms.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a Fiund price or a guaranteed payout?
No. Published examples describe the named provider or agreement. Fiund scopes each collection and buyer license separately; an example does not establish demand or a payout for your archive.
What should I check before using this example?
A promotional advance is recoupable; confirm the actual offer and participation conditions.
