Labelmate, the details alternative
Your royalty statements with nothing to copy: Labelmate finds your reports, contracts and invoices in your mailbox, its AI reads your contracts and quotes the passage, a tested engine does the math to the cent, and your data stays encrypted on your computers.
Compared with details point by point, from its own pages and the sources listed below, read on September 22, 2026. details is online software for independent music companies: catalog, royalties, contracts, physical stock and booking. It has been made in Berlin since 2008 and has more than 350 clients, according to its founders.

Why choose Labelmate over details
Your data stays with you
details keeps your data in the cloud, on Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt and Dublin, and keeps it for up to 36 months after you leave unless you ask for deletion. Labelmate keeps it encrypted on the label's computers, and our servers only carry sealed copies we cannot read.
No price per user
At details, every login is paid for: €69 a month per user, so €207 for three people. Labelmate's price depends on how many artists you pay: the whole team is included, and the price doesn't move when one more person joins.
Nothing to type in
At details, you type your contracts in by hand or import them from Excel templates. Labelmate spots your contracts and invoices in your mailbox, and its AI proposes their terms: all you do is approve.
Statements that never change
At details, to correct a statement you delete it and recalculate it; we found no lock. In Labelmate, once a period is issued, its figures never change.
