Your brand on the front. Our infrastructure behind it. Direct DSP contracts, Merlin Network access, DDEX-compliant delivery, and 20 years of operating experience — delivered as a fully branded platform under your own domain.
Build it from scratch or rent it from a major distributor's reseller program. There's a third option: own the surface, rent the infrastructure. Here's what each route looks like in practice.
Three shapes of partner. The platform configures itself differently for each — the 3-tier architecture is what makes that possible.
Tired of the metadata-minefield, opaque reporting and zero brand presence on YouTube. Take back the surface, keep the infrastructure.
You sign labels, they sign artists. You need a permissioned UI for every tier, audit trails, approval workflows and a single contract with the DSPs that covers everyone.
You've bought a catalog. Now you need to actually deliver it, monitor it, defend it, and pay rightsholders. The platform plugs into an existing business — it isn't the business.
Eight functional areas, all hot-configurable, all rebrandable. Mix and match: activate what you sell, hide what you don't.
Hot-editable white-label configuration. Custom domain, favicon, logo, colour scheme. Branded SMTP for outbound notifications. Signup flow uses your wording, your terms, your privacy policy.
Three layers of identity, each with their own UI, permissions, and audit trail. Your team is the admin. Your clients are tier 2. Their artists / sub-labels are tier 3. No other platform at this price point offers this depth of multi-tenancy.
Bulk ingestion via CSV and SFTP. DDEX catalog import/export. Full metadata lifecycle. UPC + ISRC auto-generation with bring-your-own support. Post-delivery metadata updates that survive across DSPs.
# Drop a DDEX-conformant XML batch on SFTP. sftp> put catalog-q2-2026.xml /inbound/ → validation queue · 2,400 tracks accepted: 2,388 flagged: 12 (missing ISRC) eta_delivery: "2026-06-15T00:00Z" webhook: "ingest.complete" → subscribed
limbo/Royalties is built in-house. No third-party reporting platform. Not exposed to major labels. Not exposed to venture capital that controls competing analytics. Line-by-line per DSP / territory / track. Splits, recoupment, advances. White-label optional under your domain.

UGC monetization (TikTok, Meta, SoundCloud). Whitelist + blocklist controls. Rights terms + publishing splits per track. AI-disclosure fields. Opt-in / opt-out controls for AI-DSPs. Configurable per-release, persists across metadata updates.
Allow UGC monetization on TikTok and Meta by default; block on a per-release or per-track basis for catalogue under licensing restrictions.
Declare AI involvement per track. Opt out of AI-DSP ingestion entirely. Survives metadata updates — no resubmission required.
Master, publishing, mechanical, neighboring-rights splits routed to the right party. Configurable per-track.

Real distribution operations need real workflows. Each one configurable, each one auditable, each one hot-editable.

Sub-account submissions sit in a queue. Reason codes for rejection. Bulk actions for high-volume operations. Webhook-emit on state change so your moderation UI stays in sync.
White-label config is hot-editable. Brand changes, signup wording, role permissions — all from a single admin surface. No engineering ticket required for cosmetic or operational tweaks.

What customers see (your brand). What you operate (the admin). What we deliver underneath (the rails). What runs across all three (compliance + AI).
Branded UI under your domain. Their releases, their statements, their analytics. The artist never sees a limbo logo or hears the name limbo. From their perspective, you are the distributor.
Operations console, impersonation, audit trail, hot-editable white-label config, approval queues, payout batches. The thing your team logs into every morning.
Direct DSP contracts. Merlin Network. DDEX 4.3 delivery. Royalty accounting in-house. YouTube CMS. The licensing and operational stack — 20 years deep.

Five surfaces: logo, favicon, custom domain, branded SMTP for outbound email, and the "Provided to YouTube by [your brand]" credit. Plus signup wording, terms, privacy policy, colour scheme. The platform you are configuring is the one your customers log into every day — they never see a limbo mark or domain.
Three identity layers: Admin (you), Client (your labels), Sub-client (their artists). Each tier has its own UI, permissions, and audit trail. Approvals route up the tree. Impersonation is logged. No other platform at this price point offers this depth of multi-tenancy.
Yes. Catalog migration tools preserve historical streams across the move. Bulk ingest via CSV and SFTP. DDEX catalog import / export. You do not lose your numbers when you change platform.
