Airbit pricing in 2026: Platinum cost, fees and payouts

Airbit pricing comes down to one paid plan, Platinum, billed monthly or yearly in US dollars. Airbit is an online beat store where producers sell licences through a shared Marketplace and through their own stores. Platinum adds the own-store tools, contract customisation and YouTube Content ID.

Airbit’s pricing table needs JavaScript and could not be read on 8 Nov 2026, and its old pricing address no longer loads. So the figures below come from Airbit’s help centre and terms. Several of those help articles are from 2023, and we flag that each time.

In short

• Airbit Platinum costs $19.99 a month, or $95.88 a year on annual billing.
• These prices come from 2023 help articles, so confirm them when you sign up.
• Personal store sales carry no Airbit share, but PayPal or Stripe fees still apply.

How much does Airbit cost per month?

Airbit costs $19.99 a month for Platinum on monthly billing, or $7.99 a month on annual billing, which is $95.88 a year. That is the Airbit subscription price in two help articles last edited on 26 Oct 2023 (checked 8 Nov 2026).

To get the $7.99 price, Airbit says you must pick the annual billing option. The live sell-beats page still lists the question “How do I get the $7.99/month pricing?”, so the yearly offer seems to run today. The three-year-old articles are still the only written prices we could read.

Airbit’s terms say all fees are in US dollars unless noted. So an Indian producer pays in dollars, and the bank or card may add a foreign currency fee. Paying yearly costs far less than paying monthly, as this worked example shows. The last column is our own maths on the listed prices.

On these prices, annual billing saves $144.00 a year.

Watch out: these prices come from help articles edited in October 2023. Check the price on the checkout screen before you pay.

Is Airbit free?

Airbit is not free if you want its main selling tools. They are for paying members. Airbit’s help centre says the profile store, the HTML5 store and the Infinity Store “are available to paying members only” (checked 8 Nov 2026). Content ID and full contract customisation are Platinum only too.

What a free account can upload or sell is not stated on any Airbit page we could read. Some other websites give a beat limit for free accounts, but we could not confirm it on Airbit’s own pages, so we do not repeat it here.

The Airbit Marketplace is optional and producers opt in. Airbit adds staff picks, a producer of the week, a featured banner and a paid “promote a beat” option. If you want to test Airbit before paying, sign up and check what the account lets you do. Upgrade only if you need your own store or Content ID.

What does Airbit take from your sales?

Airbit takes nothing from personal store sales. Its terms say “Airbit shall not receive any share” of a sale in a seller’s personal store, and the sell-beats page calls the Infinity Store options “Zero commission” (checked 8 Nov 2026).

Marketplace sales are different. The terms say Airbit takes a “Revenue Share” set in the rate schedule on its pricing page. That page could not be read on 8 Nov 2026, so we cannot give the rate. Some third-party sites claim a rate, but Airbit’s own pages do not confirm it.

Payment fees still apply everywhere. Personal store sales pay PayPal or Stripe fees. Marketplace sales pay one transaction fee when you are paid out, and Airbit warns that wire transfer fees are much higher than other methods. Content ID is a separate share: you keep 80%.

Worked example, using our maths: if your beats earn $50 through Airbit Content ID in a month, you keep $40, before YouTube’s US tax. Airbit needs at least 10 beats to apply, and the minimum Content ID payout is $5.

How and when does Airbit pay you?

Airbit pays in two ways, depending on where the sale happened. Personal store sales are “paid instantly to you, direct from the customer”, through your PayPal or Stripe account. The money does not pass through Airbit (help centre, edited 25 Jun 2026, checked 8 Nov 2026).

Marketplace earnings are paid once a month. Airbit pays on or before the last working day of each month, covering the month before. The money can then take up to 10 working days to arrive. So a Marketplace sale made in March is paid out by the end of April, and can arrive up to 10 working days after that.

Airbit says it supports payments worldwide, but seller limits depend on PayPal’s and Stripe’s own country lists. Check that one of them works in India for you before you subscribe. For buyers, Airbit lists PayPal, debit and credit cards, Apple Pay and Link. UPI is not listed.

• Personal store: instant, to PayPal or Stripe.
• Marketplace: monthly, by PayPal, bank transfer, wire transfer or check.
• Content ID: minimum payout of $5.

Is Airbit legit?

Airbit is a long-running beat store with public terms, a help centre and a named operator. Its footer and terms name “Airbit SG Pte. Ltd”, based in Singapore (checked 8 Nov 2026). Its sell-beats page reports “$50M+ Earned By Producers”, “800K+ Users”, “2M+ Beats Sold” and “100+ Countries”. These figures are self-reported.

Airbit’s contracts are a good sign for buyers. Contracts are emailed with the audio files, buyers must agree before paying, and both sides get e-signatures. An audit log records the signing time and IP address, a record that can help if a payment is disputed.

The honest catch for Indian producers is not safety but fit. Prices are in dollars, the plan prices come from 2023 articles, buyers cannot pay by UPI, and Marketplace payouts are monthly. Read the terms at airbit.com/terms before you pay, as with any store.

How does Airbit pricing compare with Airtune?

Airbit charges one dollar plan with no share of personal store sales. Airtune plans are in rupees, GST included, and you sell in rupees and US dollars at separate prices. Its commission falls as the plan rises: 20% on Studio Starter, 15% on Studio Lite, 10% on Studio and 0% on Studio Pro, on the Airtune pricing page (checked 8 Nov 2026). “Pro” includes Legacy.

On Airtune, Indian buyers pay by UPI, cards or netbanking, and buyers abroad pay in US dollars. Sales clear in 7 days (14 when paid in US dollars), then become available the next Friday, paid in rupees to UPI or bank. Payouts need KYC and PAN, the Airtune team checks each one, and there is no minimum payout.

All Airtune selling prices are tax-inclusive. Airtune pays the tax on its own commission, and any other tax is the seller’s to handle. On Studio, a ₹999 Easy WAV licence carries a commission of ₹99.90. The table compares both, as of 8 Nov 2026.
