Comprehensive Landr Review 2024: Pricing, Features & Everything You Need to Know

Top Reason to Choose Landr

Bundles. Landr bundles audio mastering, plugins, samples, digital audio workstations and live video collaboration all in its Studio Plus offer. Lower tiers bundle distribution with audio mastering. It’s a unique offer you won’t find with any other distributor. The key question is, do you need or want any of it?

Things to Note

Release hold-ups

Due to selling samples, Landr has a very aggressive audio recognition system that catches any perceived unauthorized use. If your song is accused of containing a sample, you’ll be restricted from distributing that release until you provide proof of having the right to use the sample.

Pricing fluctuates

Landr’s core business is audio mastering and it expanded that business into a sampling and plugin library, live streaming app, and marketplace for industry professionals. On top of that, it added distribution. When you visit Landr, the first thing you see is “Your one-stop music production powerhouse” not a pitch for music distribution. It is constantly trying to figure out ways to leverage distribution to sell its core products so the plans change every few years. What you sign up to get today, could very well not be what you get tomorrow.

 

Tiers:

$99 Essentials

Bundles unlimited distribution with unlimited MP3 Masters, but Landr doesn’t allow you to distribute MP3s so it’s pointless to have this tier.

$144 Standard

Bundles unlimited distribution with a cap of 36 WAV Masters, plugins, samples, etc.

$192 Pro

Bundles unlimited distribution with unlimited HDWAV Masters, plugins, samples, etc.

Landr is a service I’d compare to Bandlab more than any music distribution company. Comparing Landr to Bandlab, Bandlab comes out on top. It’s essentially free and offers more features and tools.
