Aircoin is Airtune's in-app credit, and 1 Aircoin is worth ₹10 of spend on Airtune. As a buyer, you can spend Aircoins on loops and on sound kits and packs that show "AirCoins accepted". You cannot buy beats with Aircoins: beat licences are paid with UPI, cards or netbanking. Sellers get more uses, explained below.

**In short**
- **Beats are not sold for Aircoins.** Every beat licence is paid in rupees or US dollars.
- **Buyers** can spend Aircoins on 1-Aircoin loops and on kits and packs marked "AirCoins accepted".
- **Producers choose.** No producer has to accept Aircoins. Only kits and packs the seller has opened to Aircoins can be bought with them.
- **Aircoin is not a discount.** It is a separate way to pay. The price stays the same: a ₹490 kit costs 49 Aircoins.
- **Sellers** can also spend them on Airtune Ads, producer invite codes and up to 30% of a yearly Studio plan.
- **Cash-out** is only for Aircoins a seller earned from sales. Buyers cannot cash out Aircoins.

This page follows how Airtune works today (checked 9 Nov 2026). When new ways to use Aircoins go live, we update it.

## What is Aircoin on Airtune?

Aircoin is the credit you spend inside Airtune. It works like store credit: one Aircoin is worth ₹10 of spend, so 50 Aircoins cover ₹500 of eligible items. Aircoins are not money. You cannot send them to a bank account or UPI, and buyers can never cash them out. The only exception is a yearly cash-out of Aircoins a seller earned from sales, explained at the end of this page. You get Aircoins in three main ways. Every new Airtune account gets a signup bonus of 50 Aircoins. Producers on paid Studio plans get Aircoins every month while the plan is active. And when a buyer pays for a seller's loop, kit or pack with Aircoins, those Aircoins go to the seller. Where your Aircoins came from matters. It decides whether they can pay for a Studio plan and whether they can ever be cashed out. The tables below show each rule.

| Where the Aircoins came from | Who gets them | How many |
|---|---|---|
| Signup bonus | Every new account, buyer or seller | 50, once |
| Monthly plan Aircoins | Producers on Studio Lite, Studio, Studio Pro and Legacy | 30 or 60 a month |
| Sales paid in Aircoins | The seller whose loop, kit or pack was bought | The Aircoin price of the item |

## Can you buy beats with Aircoins?

No. You cannot buy beats with Aircoins on Airtune. Every beat licence, from Easy MP3 to Exclusive, is paid in money: UPI, cards or netbanking in India, or a card in US dollars from abroad. There is no Aircoin button on a beat page, and a beat cannot go into an Aircoin cart. Artist Services, such as mixing or a custom beat, are also paid in money only. Aircoins work on a smaller set of products. A producer can price a single loop at 1 Aircoin. A producer can also switch on "Cash + AirCoins" for a sound kit, drum kit, sample pack or beat pack, and then you can pay for it either way. If a product does not show an Aircoin price, it cannot be bought with Aircoins. So save your Aircoins for loops and kits, and use rupees for beat licences. Our guide to [loops and samples in India](/learn/guides/loops-and-samples-india/) shows how loop licences work.

| Product | Can you pay with Aircoins? |
|---|---|
| Beats (every licence, including Exclusive) | No, money only |
| Artist Services (mixing, custom beats and more) | No, money only |
| Single loops and samples | Yes, when priced at 1 Aircoin |
| Sound kits, drum kits, sample packs, beat packs | Yes, when the page shows "AirCoins accepted" |
| A Studio plan | Sellers only: up to 30% of a yearly plan, with certain Aircoins |

> **Important:** Aircoin is a separate checkout method, not a discount. Paying 49 Aircoins for a ₹490 kit costs you exactly the same value as paying ₹490. Producers are not obligated to accept Aircoins on their sound kits or beat packs. Only the kits and packs a seller has opened to Aircoins show "AirCoins accepted", and only those can be bought with Aircoins.

## How can buyers use Aircoins?

As a buyer, you can use Aircoins on two things today: loops priced at 1 Aircoin and kits or packs marked "AirCoins accepted". Your 50 signup Aircoins are enough for 50 one-Aircoin loops, or for a kit priced at ₹500 or less. A kit's Aircoin price is its rupee price divided by 10, so a ₹490 kit costs 49 Aircoins. To use them, open a loop and tap download, or open a kit or pack page and tap "AirCoins accepted". An Aircoin order goes through its own cart. If your cart already has items you are paying for in money, finish or clear that cart first. You get the same licence as a buyer who pays in money. Not every kit takes Aircoins, because each producer decides. Buyers cannot cash out Aircoins or use them for beats. Our guide to [sound kits in India](/learn/guides/sound-kits-india/) explains what to check before you buy a kit.

1. **Find a 1-Aircoin loop** on [Airtune loops](https://airtune.in/explore/loops?utm_source=learn&utm_medium=markdown&utm_campaign=aircoin), or a kit marked "AirCoins accepted".
2. **Tap the Aircoin option** and confirm the order.
3. **Download your files** and your licence from your library.

## How can sellers use Aircoins?

Sellers get Aircoins every month on a paid Studio plan and can use them to grow. Studio Lite and Studio give 30 Aircoins a month, and Studio Pro and Legacy give 60. Studio Starter has no monthly Aircoins. The biggest use is Airtune Ads, which boost one of your own published beats across Airtune and are paid only in Aircoins. Producer invite codes, for bringing other producers onto Airtune, also cost Aircoins. You can spend Aircoins as a buyer too, on other producers' loops and kits. Aircoins also come in when you sell. Price a loop at 1 Aircoin, or switch on "Cash + AirCoins" for a kit or pack in Studio, and buyers can pay you in Aircoins. For Aircoins, the rupee price must be a multiple of ₹10. Aircoins you earn this way count as earned from sales. Our guide to [Airtune Ads](/learn/features/airtune-ads/) explains how to run a first small test.

| Plan | Monthly Aircoins | Spend value each month |
|---|---|---|
| Studio Starter | 0 | ₹0 |
| Studio Lite | 30 | ₹300 |
| Studio | 30 | ₹300 |
| Studio Pro (includes Legacy) | 60 | ₹600 |

> **Your choice:** Accepting Aircoins on a kit or pack is optional. Leave it on "Cash" and buyers pay only in money. Turn on "Cash + AirCoins" and buyers can pay in money or in Aircoins, at the same price either way.

> **Tip:** Turn on "Cash + AirCoins" for one kit. Buyers holding signup Aircoins can then try it without paying in rupees.

## Can you pay for a Studio plan with Aircoins?

Yes, but only part of a yearly plan, and only with two kinds of Aircoins: the ones your Studio plan gives you each month and the ones you earned from sales. The signup bonus cannot pay for a plan, and neither can Aircoins from gifts, rewards or invite refunds. Aircoins can cover up to 30% of a yearly Studio Lite, Studio or Studio Pro plan. They cannot pay for a monthly plan or for Studio Starter. Here is a worked example on full prices. Studio Lite costs ₹1,999 a year, and 30% of that is ₹599.70. At ₹10 per Aircoin, checkout lets you use up to 59 Aircoins, worth ₹590, and you pay the rest in money. Two months of Studio Lite Aircoins (60) would cover that. Checkout always shows the exact number you can use. Our guide to [Airtune Studio plans](/learn/features/airtune-studio-plans/) compares every plan and price.

| Aircoins from | Pay up to 30% of a yearly plan? | Cash out once a year? |
|---|---|---|
| Sales paid in Aircoins | Yes | Yes, on a paid plan |
| Monthly plan Aircoins | Yes | No |
| Signup bonus | No | No |
| Gifts, rewards, invite refunds | No | No |

## Can you cash out Aircoins?

Only sellers can cash out, and only the Aircoins they earned from sales. Buyers cannot cash out Aircoins, and neither the signup bonus nor monthly plan Aircoins can ever be cashed out. Here is the rule from Airtune's Payout Policy. On a paid Studio plan, once each account year, in the 30 days after your account anniversary, you can cash out at least 100 Aircoins. You can take up to half of the Aircoins your sales earned that year, so you need 200 or more. Each one pays ₹7 to your verified payout method. A cash-out needs approved KYC and no open disputes on your account. Money from beat sales is separate. It goes to your wallet, clears in 7 days (14 in US dollars), and is paid in rupees on the next Friday. Our guide to the [Airtune wallet and payouts](/learn/features/airtune-wallet-and-payouts/) covers that side.

> **Example:** if your sales earned 200 Aircoins this year, you can cash out up to 100 of them for ₹700. Spending those same 100 on Airtune is worth ₹1,000.
