Why choose Labelmate over LabelWorx

  • Your data stays with you

    LabelWorx keeps your data on its servers, and its terms allow storing it outside the European Economic Area; after canceling, it is returned only on a written request within 10 days. Labelmate keeps it encrypted on the label's computers, with backups that belong to you.

  • Nothing to copy

    With LabelWorx, you upload your statements one spreadsheet at a time and type each contract into a form; physical sales and licenses are typed in by hand. Labelmate spots your reports, contracts and invoices in your mailbox, and its AI proposes each contract's terms.

  • AI that reads your contracts

    We found no AI feature in the 113 help articles on its royalty accounting. Labelmate's reads your contracts and invoices, and a tested engine does all the math, to the cent.

  • A price you can see

    LabelWorx says "from just £10 per month", then quotes packages you see once signed in. Labelmate shows its prices: four plans by the number of artists you pay, billed yearly or monthly, onboarding fee included on the page.
