Airtune Legacy: how it works, and why there's no free plan

Airtune Legacy is a seller plan that the Airtune team gives to producers with a proven track record. You cannot buy it. Legacy keeps every Studio Pro feature and limit, takes 0% commission for as long as you hold it, and comes with terms written with you. This page also explains why Airtune has no free plan for producers, and how to pick a plan.

In short

• Legacy is given, never sold. Studio Pro producers request it in Studio.
• No free seller plan. Studio Starter at ₹199 one time is the cheapest way in. Buyers sign up free.
• Airtune pays part of your first yearly upgrade, so growing into a bigger plan costs less.

What is Airtune Legacy?

Airtune Legacy is the plan Airtune gives to producers whose work and track record have already proved themselves. It sits next to the paid plans but has no price, because the Airtune team hands it out instead of selling it. The pricing page puts it plainly: Legacy is given by the Airtune team and is never bought. A Legacy member keeps every feature and limit of Studio Pro, the top paid plan. That means unlimited beats and uploads, unlimited sound kits and packs, paid loops at your own price, advanced insights and priority support. Commission is 0% for as long as you hold Legacy, so every sale is yours apart from the payment provider’s fee. The terms are written with the producer, and Legacy members get a direct line to the team. A Legacy crown also shows on your profile, your beats and your storefront, so buyers can see the badge everywhere.

How do you get Airtune Legacy?

You get Airtune Legacy by asking for it from Studio Pro, not by paying for it. Legacy is not on sale anywhere, so there is no checkout and no coupon for it. If you are on Studio Pro, open Studio, go to Settings, then Plans, and send a Legacy request. The Airtune team reads every request and replies within 7 days. The team looks at the producer, not a form. What matters is a proven track record: the quality of your beats, how you treat buyers, and what you bring to Airtune. That is why Legacy is linked to Studio Pro. It is the plan where your full catalogue, your sales and your storefront are already visible, so the team can judge real work. If your request is not accepted yet, nothing changes on your account. You keep Studio Pro and its 0% commission, and you can ask again later as your catalogue grows. Keep your storefront tidy and your licences clear before you apply.

1. Get on Studio Pro (₹699 a month or ₹6,999 a year).
2. Open Studio, then Settings, then Plans, and request Legacy.
3. Wait up to 7 days for the team’s reply.

Does Airtune have a free plan?

No. Airtune has no free plan for producers who sell. The cheapest way in is Studio Starter, a one-time payment of ₹199, and every plan above it is paid too. Buyers are different: artists and fans can sign up, browse and buy beats for free. The reason is quality. Airtune wants premium sound on the platform, nothing less. A free seller plan would bring in a flood of first uploads, and buyers who come for premium beats would have to dig through them. A small paid entry keeps the catalogue focused on producers who take selling seriously. Producers also join by invite. You can get a code from another Airtune producer, or request an invite on the pricing page so the team can listen to your work. If the price of a plan is the only thing stopping you, contact the Airtune team. Send your music and explain your situation, and the team can look at an arrangement that works for you.

Tip: The ₹199 for Studio Starter can come back to you. Once you use your full Starter audio allowance, you can take the ₹199 to your Airtune wallet, or take 2× as a discount on your first yearly upgrade.

How does Airtune invest in producers?

Airtune invests in producers by paying part of their first yearly upgrade. The pricing page calls this “Airtune invests in you”. Most platforms make growth more expensive, so Airtune does the opposite once you have shown you are serious. The amount depends on the plan you move up from. From Studio Starter, you get 2× your ₹199 payment towards your first yearly upgrade. From Studio Lite, Airtune pays 30% towards it, and from Studio it pays 20%. This happens once per account, on the first yearly upgrade, in place of the usual credit for unused time. Later upgrades get credit for unused time instead. Paid plans also get Aircoins every month, and those plus Aircoins earned from sales can pay up to 30% of a yearly plan. Together, these make the step from a small plan to Studio Pro much cheaper than the full price suggests, which is the path that can later lead to Legacy.

Worked example (our maths on the pricing page rules). You start on Studio Starter for ₹199 and use your full upload allowance. You choose the 2× option, so ₹398 comes off your first yearly upgrade.

Which Airtune plan should you choose?

Choose an Airtune plan by how much you sell, not by how many features you want. If you are testing the waters, Studio Starter at ₹199 one time lets you list up to 15 beats a month at 20% commission. If you sell every week, Studio Lite at ₹1,999 a year gives unlimited beats at 15%. Studio at ₹3,999 a year, or ₹399 a month, drops commission to 10% and adds priority support. Studio Pro at ₹6,999 a year, or ₹699 a month, takes 0% and removes every limit. A simple check: Studio Pro costs ₹3,000 a year more than Studio and saves 10% of every sale, so it pays for itself once your yearly sales pass ₹30,000 (our maths on full prices). Every plan sells in rupees and US dollars and pays you in rupees. Our guide to Airtune Studio plans compares every limit, and Aircoin explains the monthly coins.
