Why choose Labelmate over Revelator

  • Your data stays with you

    Revelator is an online platform, with providers it does not name, and has belonged to Warner Music Group, a major label, since 2026. Labelmate keeps your data encrypted on the label's computers, and our servers only carry sealed copies we cannot read.

  • Keep your distributor

    Revelator imports sales from its own distribution, your direct store deals and Merlin; importing another distributor's reports is not stated. Labelmate imports your current distributors' reports (CSV, Excel, ZIP), and sets up each one's format with you.

  • AI that reads your contracts

    Revelator's AI is for analytics, catalog import, spotting AI-made tracks and mastering; we found none that reads contracts. Labelmate's reads your contracts and invoices and quotes the passage, and a tested engine does all the math.

  • A price you can see

    Revelator publishes no prices: everything is on quote, with an onboarding fee whose amount is not published. Labelmate shows its own: four plans by the number of artists you pay, billed yearly or monthly, onboarding fee included on the page.
