The API comes with Enterprise and Custom. See what it covers in the API docs →
Pricing is quoted per partner; white-label plans include a one-time setup fee. Monthly royalties means revenue processed through your white-label platform. Releases delivered under HILLS's store deals carry a revenue share set in your contract.
FAQ
Pricing questions.
Do I need a plan to distribute with HILLS?
No. White-label plans are optional. Distribution for labels, distributors and catalog owners is agreed per partner, based on catalog size and the services you use — apply and we get back to you within 1–3 business days to discuss terms.
Can we change plans later?
Yes. When your monthly royalties grow past your plan, you move up; moving down never deletes anything.
How do I get API access?
The API comes with the Enterprise and Custom plans. It is not sold separately.
Is there a setup fee?
White-label plans carry a one-time setup fee, quoted with your plan. Distribution itself has no setup or per-release fees.
Is there a revenue share?
Releases delivered under HILLS's store deals carry a revenue share set in your contract. Releases delivered under your own direct or Merlin deals do not.
