## How do Airtune and Airbit compare side by side?

Airtune and Airbit both let producers sell beat licences, but their money rules differ. Airbit's paid plan is called Platinum. Its help centre lists $19.99 a month, or $7.99 a month billed yearly at $95.88. Those articles were last edited on 26 Oct 2023, so the prices may have changed (checked 8 Nov 2026).

Airbit's terms say it takes no share of sales in a producer's personal store. For its shared Marketplace, it takes a share set on its pricing page, which could not be read. Airtune's commission is 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).

Payments differ too. Airbit lists PayPal, cards, Apple Pay and Link for buyers, but not UPI. Airtune buyers in India pay by UPI, cards or netbanking. The table shows the main facts, as of 8 Nov 2026.

| | Airtune | Airbit |
|---|---|---|
| Plan currency | Rupees, GST included | US dollars |
| Paid plans | Studio Starter ₹199 one time; Studio Lite ₹1,999 a year; Studio ₹399 a month or ₹3,999 a year; Studio Pro ₹699 a month or ₹6,999 a year | Platinum $19.99 a month, or $95.88 a year (2023 help articles) |
| Commission | 20%, 15%, 10%, or 0% on Studio Pro | 0% in personal stores; Marketplace rate not readable |
| UPI at checkout | Yes | Not listed |
| Seller payouts | Rupees to UPI or bank | Marketplace: PayPal, bank, wire or check, monthly. Stores: PayPal or Stripe, instant |
| Own store | Storefront at airtune.in/@you, every plan | Infinity Store website, Platinum only |
| Licence | Signed in the buyer's legal name, PDF with QR verify link | E-signed contract with an audit log, emailed with the files |
| YouTube | Automatic uploads to your own channel, every plan | Content ID service, producer keeps 80%, Platinum only |

"Pro" on Airtune includes Legacy, which also has 0% commission.

## Is Airbit good for selling beats from India?

Airbit is good for selling beats if your buyers pay by card or PayPal and you can receive PayPal or Stripe payments. It is a long-running store. Its sell-beats page reports "$50M+ Earned By Producers", "800K+ Users" and "2M+ Beats Sold" (self-reported, checked 8 Nov 2026).

For Indian sellers, three things slow it down. Airbit's terms say fees are in US dollars. UPI is not in its listed buyer payment methods, so many Indian artists must pay by card or PayPal. And Marketplace payouts are monthly: Airbit pays on or before the last working day of each month, for the month before, and money can take up to 10 working days more to arrive.

Personal store sales are paid instantly, but straight to your PayPal or Stripe. Airbit's help centre says seller limits depend on PayPal's and Stripe's own country lists. So check that one of them works for you before you pay for Platinum.

- **Marketplace payouts:** PayPal, bank transfer, wire transfer or check, monthly.
- **Personal store payouts:** instant, through PayPal or Stripe.
- **Fees on payouts:** Airbit warns that wire transfer fees are much higher than other methods.

## Is Airtune or Airbit cheaper?

It depends on your sales and on whether Airbit's 2023 prices still hold. Airbit Platinum is listed at $19.99 a month, or $95.88 a year on annual billing, in help articles edited on 26 Oct 2023. The live sell-beats page still answers "How do I get the $7.99/month pricing?", which suggests the yearly offer runs today (checked 8 Nov 2026).

Airtune plans are in rupees, GST included. Studio Pro costs ₹699 a month or ₹6,999 a year. Studio Pro takes 0% commission. Cheaper Airtune plans cost less up front but take 10% to 20% of each sale.

On Airbit, a personal store sale carries no Airbit share, only the PayPal or Stripe fee. On Airtune, the payment provider's fee is charged at cost on its own line. Here are worked examples, using our own maths on the listed prices.

- **Airbit Platinum paid monthly for a year:** 12 × $19.99 = $239.88, against $95.88 on annual billing.
- **A ₹1,999 Easy Stems licence on Airtune Studio Lite:** the 15% commission is ₹299.85.
- **The same licence on Airtune Studio Pro:** commission is ₹0.00.
- **A $100 month of Airbit Content ID earnings:** you keep $80, before YouTube's 30% tax on revenue from US views.

## Is the Airbit Infinity Store better than an Airtune storefront?

The Airbit Infinity Store is the bigger tool. Airbit describes it as a full beat and sound kit store that "can double as a full website", at yourusername.infinity.airbit.com (checked 8 Nov 2026). It is only for Platinum members, and Airbit takes no share of personal store sales.

An Airtune storefront is simpler but comes on every plan. Your page sits at airtune.in/@you, with a banner, your story and shelves of beats, packs, loops and playlists you arrange yourself. Buyers check out inside Airtune, with UPI for Indian buyers.

Airtune also gives every plan Air Link, a link-in-bio page at air2.me/you that shows your latest beat, store and offers. If you want a full website of your own today, Airbit's Infinity Store does more. If you want a store your Indian buyers can pay through easily, Airtune's storefront fits better.

| | Airbit Infinity Store | Airtune storefront |
|---|---|---|
| Who gets it | Platinum members | Every Studio plan |
| Address | yourusername.infinity.airbit.com | airtune.in/@you |
| Works as a website | Yes, per Airbit | A store page, plus Air Link at air2.me/you |
| Share taken | None on personal store sales | Plan commission: 20%, 15%, 10% or 0% |

## Which is better for YouTube: Airbit Content ID or Airtune uploads?

They do different jobs, so the better one depends on your goal. Airbit Content ID earns money when other people's YouTube videos use your beats. Airtune's YouTube tool puts your own beats on your own channel as videos, so buyers can find them.

Airbit says you keep 80% of Content ID earnings, and revenue from US views also has a 30% YouTube tax. You need Platinum and at least 10 beats, and the minimum payout is $5 (checked 8 Nov 2026). That is a real strength. BeatStars stopped taking new tracks into its own Content ID service in December 2025.

On Airtune, you pick a beat and a template. Airtune builds the video from your cover and audio, writes the title and description, and publishes it to your channel. It is on every plan, at 1080p as standard and up to 4K on Studio Pro. Which templates you get depends on your plan.

- **Want passive income from other people's videos?** Airbit Content ID.
- **Want your beats on YouTube without editing videos?** Airtune uploads. Read how [YouTube beat upload sync](/learn/features/youtube-beat-upload-sync/) works.

## Airtune or Airbit: how to choose

**Choose Airbit if:**

- **You want a full website store** with no commission, through the Infinity Store.
- **Content ID income matters to you**, at 80% to the producer.
- **Your buyers pay by card or PayPal**, and PayPal or Stripe works for you.

**Choose Airtune if:**

- **Your buyers are in India** and want to pay by UPI.
- **You want plans in rupees**, GST included, and payouts in rupees to UPI or bank.
- **You want signed licences** that anyone can verify by scanning a QR code. See [Airtune licensing](https://airtune.in/licensing?utm_source=learn&utm_medium=markdown&utm_campaign=airtune-vs-airbit).
- **You want your beats on YouTube automatically**, on every plan.

On Airtune, 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.

> **Tip:** Airbit and Airtune both let you sell non-exclusive licences. If you list a beat on both, take it off both stores the moment you sell it exclusively.
