Welcome to Habitat
We built Habitat because royalty accounting shouldn't require a finance degree.
For independent labels and publishers, the combination of complex royalty rules, dozens of revenue sources, and thousands of payees makes accurate, on-time payments genuinely difficult. Spreadsheets break. Manual processes don't scale. And your artists shouldn't have to wonder when their next payment is coming.
What We Built
Habitat is royalty management software designed for lean teams that need to move quickly:
- Import from 200+ sources — every major distributor and platform, ingested automatically
- Transparent artist portals — payees see their statements, tax documents, and payment history without calling you
- Optional managed services — if your team gets stretched, our ops team can step in
Who We Serve
We work with independent labels, distributors, and publishers ranging from early-stage catalogs to established operations paying thousands of artists each quarter.
If you've been running royalties out of Excel, or your current software feels like it was designed for a different era, we'd love to show you what Habitat can do.
What's Next
Over the coming months we'll be sharing more about how we think about royalty accounting, what we've learned from working with 100+ labels, and practical tips for anyone managing a growing catalog.
