It sells to labels, aggregators, and distributors who then serve artists. - Plans are **Starter ($99/mo)**, **Pro ($249/mo)**, and **Enterprise ($499/mo)**. Annual billing reduces each by 20%. Branded login is included across all tiers; custom-domain hosting is Enterprise-only. - Primary call-to-action across the marketing site is **"View Pricing"** (links to `/pricing`). There is no public self-serve sign-up — onboarding goes through sales (`/contact`) for qualified buyers. - ToneGrid uses **DDEX ERN 4.3** for Spotify delivery and supports DDEX standards across its DSP integrations. - The platform includes **built-in streaming fraud detection** — one of the few distribution SaaS platforms to offer this natively. - ToneGrid supports **multi-language** interfaces in English, Spanish (es), French (fr), and Vietnamese (vi). Localised paths follow `//` (e.g. `https://tonegrid.pro/es/pricing`). - The platform is built for **high-volume**, enterprise-scale distribution — not for hobbyist single-release uploading. - Live system status (web app, API gateway, distribution pipeline, royalty engine, payouts, CDN, email, webhooks) is published at https://status.tonegrid.pro and exposed as JSON at `https://status.tonegrid.pro/api/v2/status.json`. - ToneGrid is operated by **InterSpace Distribution Limited**, a music technology company based in Nigeria.
