It doesn't worth it.
Well, I've been uploading my songs on Songtradr for many years, but nothing was licensed. I also have another project and around 90 songs in total are useless. I guess they expose only the paid members' songs. Although I followed their guidelines to expose my songs, it was just a waste of time.
I found some users' songs were licensed even though they have less than 5-10 songs.
I can't trust a platform that gives me zero results. No success story from the bottom.

Never had a problem with them
Never had a problem with them.
Amazing support and fast distributing system.
And few days ago a music of mine was licensed for a TV Show! :-)

Decent platform, but no sales
I've been using their free service for 3 years. I'm not sure what the license policy is exactly, and none of my songs was licensed. They may have some kind of algorithm like other platforms. If even a song was licensed, I'd consider going pro user.
Thus, I can't tell if it is really worth it for the musicians.

My word of warning to you to join as a user of Songtradr
My word of warning to you to join as a user of Songtradr
Having a reputation as a large platform to register music copyrights for artists, Songtradr did not expect Songtradr to be this bad. They took advantage of our information to do bad things, especially to sell outside, the second is that they did not pay the artist who used this Songtradr platform. They have tons of reasons to withhold users' funds and the verification procedures are so absurd and confusing... Even though I tried all the verifications they still didn't make any move to pay for it. users and there are still bad reasons... I have a lot of friends who have also been using this Songtradr platform and they also get a lot of discomfort about paying users. This is a very bad platform, hope you can read these reviews and improve before all users turn their backs on you!!!

All 13 songs were released on time, but one wasn't taken down on request.
All of my 13 songs that I uploaded released on time without any problem. However, taking down your song from streaming services is difficult and my song never did get taken down (it's been over a year since I emailed them). I also dislike the new verification process and I wish it would be removed, as it seems to have no regard for privacy.
Overall, I would recommend songtradr as it is reliable for release dates. However, if you care for privacy or want the peace of mind knowing your song can be taken down, I would recommend you stay away from songtradr.

Songtradr has many very serious errors!
You are making many very serious mistakes that damage your reputation.
+ Verification error: You give the method of identity verification is not standard, when verifying, it often has a face error, the camera you scan has to do it many times. Sometimes that error causes the account to not be verified for subsequent attempts.
+ Tax declaration: After completing KYC but still can't withdraw money to my account even before the new update, my account can still withdraw payment
+ Verification and Album Error : When uploading a track people can create an artist name different from the verified name, I think it's very normal, but you guys say we cheated. ..
+ Delete the album when you don't give us certain errors, you guys are very general...
I hope that you will soon improve all problems in the near future.

This is a scam and racist website
This is a blatant scam site, i upload my music products and ask them to release them to the markets, but i have not received any money from them, most of all my personal information seriously stolen, i was bothered and treated horribly by them, fu*k Songtradr

Don't sign up for Songtradr!!!!
Don't sign up for Songtradr. It's a scam organization. They ask users to provide important information such as facial recognition, personal information. They use that information to serve bad needs, they sell the information to other organizations. That is really terrible. You will be revealed everything about yourself, which will be extremely dangerous. In addition, Songtradr also steals money from artists. They don't pay music royalties. They give very unreasonable reasons, they blame the maintenance system, very stupid problems so that the artist does not receive money.
We are becoming tools, puppets to make money for them without receiving a dime.
Be alert and stay away from them, a scam site.
Condemn Songtradr so they get the consequences they deserve.

Songtradr steals personal information, imprisons artists' money, deletes albums without reason.
The new year has also passed, a year of many changes and changes, especially with songtradr. I am a musician, singer, and songwriter. I know: When a product or work is created, it requires many things, many stages. I have a product sent to Songtradr over how long until the day I receive your payment, one after another, problems occur. Such as identity verification, tax return,...Verification steps have to be done many times until it is approved, until I complete and make a withdrawal, you will notify that Album-Artist of yours. I don't match the release. Really too many problems on your part. I will rate you 1 star by:
+ Identity verification takes too much time, verification fails continuously, my security information is taken away by you.
+ My legitimate income you guys blatantly robbed
+ Arbitrarily delete My Album when not verified, check clearly
I hope you guys can fix that problem soon so that songtradr can grow more and bring more audiences

Don't want to pay? Cheat...
I trust your platform but you let me down, money doesn't pay? We have done all the verification steps even though those steps are really time consuming and useless but you still haven't sent us your money back. What a disappointment for a global music distribution platform!!! I really want you to reconsider this issue, I did it with all my heart but the result was scammed by you guys... Hope these reviews get a response and you guys will fix it soon! !!

Songtradr is a scam company, appropriating artists' assets, working in an uncultured way !!!
on't think I dare not publish all your actions. This is my email: Quan Pham charpiatyten1999outlook.com . You can easily check on your system. I am DJ MANH QUAN.
I have provided my KYC documents completely correctly, sending you all our information. However you guys are a scam company.
My account only has 400-500 $ but you guys find all ways to lock and appropriate our money. It's my sweat, blood, and hard work for a year.
I urge the Trustpilot artist community to boycott Songtradr, there's no way such a bad service can exist.
Songtradr is so terrible!
It's terrible, songtradr they ask users to verify information with personal documents and then they sell that information to other parties. I was so worried when I heard this from some of my friends who work inside songtradr, Can't accept their way of doing this, they should be shut down for their behavior.

I request them to recover my account and give me chance to reverify my age .

Songtradr payment service looks terrible, They keep artist royalties for 1-2 months without any withdrawal approval. And they do not have any information for customers !!!
Songtradr payment service looks terrible, They keep artist royalties for 1-2 months without any withdrawal approval. And they do not have any information for customers. As if they were trying to find a way to take them.
We do support a few small artists who distribute music through Songtradr's system, but it seems everyone has this problem. Everyone is worried about where their music royalties will go. No one has received any money for the past 1 to 2 months
what's going on? Is something about to happen? SCAM ?

I am a true beginner at Songtradt
I am a true beginner at Songtradt. Recently I needed to change my artist's name and update an existing song. Zak was there to help me all the way with the process. Quick, patient and courteous with his instant responses to my questions. I am so grateful and impressed by how this platform functions. This last experience inspires me to compose a new song soon! Thank you Zak!

Helping hands!
With the subscription of Songtradr distributing our own music is a good experience for me. The support team working to resolve all issues regarding account and subscription on priority. As I submitted my questions while using the Sontradr services, Zak helped me with the exact solutions. Thanks!

Poor customer service
Poor customer service. Also accuses artists of fraudulent activities without any confirmation and most of the sync licensing deals are done for artists who have a higher rate of subscription of their platform.

Also, they should add a option in dashboard where we can update the releases!
