BeatStore.in review 2026: free plan, fees and payouts

This BeatStore.in review covers beatstore.in as it stood on 8 November 2026: what it is, the free plan, fees, payouts and what buyers get. BeatStore India is a good fit for producers who want to open a store for free and grow from there. Below is where it is strong, where it is limited, and how Airtune compares.

In short

• The free plan is real: no listing fees, no card, 1 upload a day, 20% commission.
• Paid plans cut commission to 5% on Creator and 0% on Premium.
• Buyers must report problems within 7 days; other refunds are generally not given.

Every BeatStore fact below comes from beatstore.in pages opened on 8 Nov 2026. We quote its list prices; check its pricing page before you pay.

What is BeatStore.in?

BeatStore.in is an Indian beat marketplace where producers open a store and artists buy beat licences. Its about page says it is based in Udaipur, Rajasthan. It is not BeatStars, the large US store, even though the names sound alike.

BeatStore reports 5,000+ beats, 3,000+ producers and 1,50,000+ plays on its own pages. Only producers based in India can sell beats there. Buyers anywhere can pay in rupees or US dollars, and checkout runs through Razorpay.

Each producer sets their own licences and prices. The homepage shows three types: Free For Profit, Non-Exclusive from ₹499.00 and Exclusive from ₹1,999.00. You can install BeatStore as a web app on your phone. Every purchase comes with a licence document saved in your account. Its Android app is still in a closed test. Its terms, seller agreement and refund policy were all last updated on 27 Oct 2026.

Is BeatStore free to sell beats?

Yes. Selling on BeatStore is free to start: there are no listing fees, and you need no card to sign up. The free plan takes 20% commission on each sale, and its seller agreement applies that split to net income, after taxes and payment gateway fees.

The free plan has limits. You can add 1 beat a day, with 10 GB of storage, 1 active coupon and 7 days of analytics. The total number of beats is unlimited as long as they fit your storage. A storage pack adds 50 GB for ₹99 a month, and you can hold up to 10 packs.

Paid plans raise the limits. On 8 Nov 2026, the list price of Creator was ₹399 a month with 5% commission, and Premium was ₹1,299 a month with 0%. Its terms mention yearly plans, but we found no yearly list price, so we leave yearly prices out.

Airtune plan prices include GST and come from the Airtune pricing page. BeatStore’s seller tools by plan:

• Coupons: 1 active on Free, 5 on Creator, unlimited on Premium (Airtune: 1, 5, 25 or unlimited by plan).
• Collaborators: split a track’s sales with 1 other producer on Creator, or 2 on Premium.
• Free CRM: customers, deals, follow-ups and finance, with bigger limits on paid plans.
• Abandoned cart recovery: Premium only.
• AI descriptions: 1 a day on Free, 5 on Creator, 10 on Premium.

How much does BeatStore take, and how do payouts work?

BeatStore takes 20% on Free, 5% on Creator and 0% on Premium, and the payment gateway fee applies on every plan. Airtune takes 20% on Studio Starter, 15% on Studio Lite, 10% on Studio and 0% on Studio Pro, and passes on the Razorpay or Stripe fee at cost.

BeatStore pays sellers in rupees after KYC. Its sell page says “Payouts in INR to your UPI”, while its seller agreement says payouts go by direct bank transfer. Its FAQ says earnings go to the account you give during KYC. We found no payout timing on its pages.

On Airtune, each sale clears for 7 days when paid in rupees, or 14 days in US dollars. Cleared money becomes available the following Friday, paid in rupees to your verified UPI or bank account. Payouts need KYC and PAN, the Airtune team checks each one, and there is no minimum payout.

Here is one ₹999 sale on each plan, before payment fees (our maths on each store’s published rate):

Tip: For 0% commission, 12 months of BeatStore Premium at ₹1,299 a month comes to ₹15,588.00, against ₹6,999 a year for Airtune Studio Pro (our maths). BeatStore Creator costs ₹4,788.00 for 12 months at 5%, so it stays cheaper than Studio Pro until you sell more than ₹44,220 a year (₹2,211 ÷ 5%). Compare the full year, not just the first month.

Is BeatStore safe for buyers?

BeatStore looks safe for buyers who check the licence before paying. Payments go through Razorpay, and BeatStore says your card details never reach it. You can pay with UPI, RuPay and other cards, net banking or pay later in India, or with an international card in US dollars. Files and a licence document download straight after payment.

Refunds are narrow. BeatStore’s refund policy covers only two cases: a file that is corrupted or unusable, and a product that is very different from its listing. You must report it within 7 days of purchase. BeatStore first tries a fix, such as a new file, and refunds within 7–10 business days if it cannot fix it.

There is no refund for a change of mind, for creative taste, or once you have used the beat in a commercial project. Airtune also treats sales as final, except for genuine delivery problems, but gives 14 days from delivery to report them.

• Licence proof: BeatStore saves a licence document and an invoice in your account. We found no public licence verify page on its pages.
• Airtune’s licences: signed in your legal name at checkout, locked, and saved as a PDF with a QR code anyone can check. See how to verify a beat licence.
• Faulty files on Airtune: the producer has 14 days to deliver working files, or you get a 100% refund.

BeatStore pros and cons

BeatStore does several things well for Indian sellers, with some limits to know.

Pros

• Free to start, with no listing fees and no card.
• Low commission on a small budget: 5% on Creator.
• Rupees and dollars for buyers, with UPI through Razorpay.
• A free CRM for clients, deals and finance on every plan.
• Up-to-date policies: terms, seller agreement and refund policy dated 27 Oct 2026.

Cons

• Daily upload caps: 1, 3 or 5 beats a day.
• Short refund window: 7 days, with narrow reasons.
• Payout details differ: UPI on one page, bank transfer on another, and no timing stated.

• No public licence check found on its pages.

Who BeatStore suits, and when Airtune fits better

Pick by your stage as a producer and by what your buyers need.

BeatStore suits you if:

• You are brand new and want a free store with generous total uploads.
• You want low commission cheaply: Creator takes 5%.
• You want a built-in CRM to track custom work and clients.

Airtune fits better if:

• You want buyers to trust the paperwork. Signed licences in the buyer’s legal name, locked at checkout, with QR checks.
• You post on YouTube. Airtune builds the video and uploads it to your own channel, on every plan.
• You have a big catalogue. Studio Pro has no daily cap and no audio limit.
• You set your own US dollar prices. You price each licence separately in ₹ and $, and are paid in rupees.
• You make premium sound. Airtune is invite-only and puts quality over quantity.
