This is the worst distribution platform I've ever used
I woke up to a mail saying all my albums taken down, 51 of my created songs taken down at once!
All my hardwork gone!
And y'all are very absurd, you didn't do anything 3 months ago when the songs went live
It is this month I'm expecting my royalties, y'all took down my songs and disabled my DEBUT+ subscription without any explanation!
The DEBUT+ subscription is currently useless, I'm unable to upload my songs again, saying I should contact support that NEVER replies!
Why will you suspend my DEBUT+ subscription that is barely 3 months old? What did I pay it for?
I need a refund of my subscription fee, I'm very disappointed in this platform. I should've stuck to Routenote and the better Amuse

Fraudsters lying thieves
Fraudsters lying thieves. No worries this FN company is going down. It's God's will. They refused to refund me my membership money the day I signed up when I realized they didn't have the features they promised. I'm going to submit a complaint to the BBB.
United Masters Siphoned 140 Tracks for Super Bowl Sync Deals and Ignored Legal Communications
Petroboyz Entertainment is issuing an urgent warning to all independent record labels regarding United Masters. On January 1 2026 , we moved 140 tracks to their platform , by January 15 they had fully ingested our music and rammed it into their sync deals. Our monitoring systems tracked our catalog being played across major network broadcasts on January 12 January 19 and during the February Super Bowl. United Masters completely bypassed standard legal protocols. They licensed our independent masters for major commercial events, generated revenue off our catalog, and have frozen us out of the backend data.
We have sent a formal Cease and Desist and bombarded their corporate and legal departments with emails demanding an investigation. They have completely ignored us. They are comfortably collecting the revenue from a 100% Disabled Veteran and the hard work and talent of Petrobaby Trizzy while refusing to provide accounting or contracts. We demand a full Executive audit, the immediate release of our sync cue sheets. a full financial payout for the Super Bowl and January broadcasts. Do not trust United Masters with your catalog they exploit independent artists when the corporate money comes calling.

I was a UnitedMasters user for approximately 7 years and recently upgraded to a yearly UnitedMasters Select subscription because I planned to continue releasing my music through their platform.
Shortly after upgrading, my account was permanently terminated due to alleged “abnormal streaming activity.” I repeatedly asked what specific activity was identified, where it supposedly came from, and what evidence was used to reach this decision. Unfortunately, I never received clear answers—only repeated statements that the decision was final and references to the Terms of Use.
What disappointed me the most was the lack of transparency. If there was truly an issue, I wanted to understand it so I could prevent it from ever happening again. Instead, I felt like my questions were never actually addressed.
To make matters worse, I paid for a yearly Select subscription that I can no longer use. Apple denied my refund request, and UnitedMasters also refused to issue a refund, even though my account was terminated shortly after I upgraded. Paying for a service that became unavailable almost immediately has been extremely frustrating.
I respected UnitedMasters for many years, which is why this experience has been so disappointing. I hope they improve communication, transparency, and the way they handle long-time independent artists in situations like mine.

Hi Jayden,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
At UnitedMasters, we take artificial streaming very seriously in order to ensure a safe platform for all artists.
When we become aware of repeated abnormal activity on distributed content, our team is required to take action to maintain compliance across store networks.
As a courtesy, we will be providing you with a refund of your membership fee. Please look out for an email from our support team to facilitate.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused!
Best,
UnitedMasters
I've had a great experience with UnitedMasters' customer service. Their support team was professional, responsive, and took the time to answer my questions clearly. They made the process much easier and treated my concerns with respect. It's always reassuring to know there's a team that's willing to help when you need it. Thank you to everyone at UnitedMasters for the excellent support I truly appreciate it.
Awful "Senior" Support. Copy-pasting automated templates to paying DEBUT+ artists.
I am thoroughly disappointed with UnitedMasters. I am a paying user on the DEBUT+ plan, expecting professional distribution and support. Instead, my entire original studio albums were falsely flagged and blocked from Instagram and TikTok audio libraries by an automated system.
When I contacted support, "Samanta" sent me a generic copy-paste template claiming my music is "ineligible ambient/production music." My music is 100% original electronic art composed entirely on a hardware Eurorack modular synthesizer—every sound is completely unique and exclusive.
I replied explaining this, asking for a human review. Instead, a "Senior Support" member named Mikaeus took over the ticket and literally copy-pasted Samanta's exact reply word for word without even reading my explanation.
This is an absolute joke and extremely lazy. They ignore paying indie artists and rely on broken AI filters. Look into my case and perform a manual human review immediately!

Hello Alexey,
We appreciate your feedback, and we’re sorry for the repetitive responses you received on your support ticket. That does not reflect the level of support or the experience we want our artists to have.
Our partners require us to comply with strict guidelines regarding what can be delivered to different music services. User-generated content platforms, like Meta and TikTok, have specific restrictions against sound effects, soundscapes, or audio lacking traditional structures. Because our partners require us not to distribute ineligible content, we must carefully review these styles to protect our platform delivery status.
After reviewing the specific context you provided, we would be happy to redeliver these specific releases to Meta and TikTok for you. Please keep in mind that these services maintain the final discretion over whether the content remains live based on their guidelines.
Please check your email shortly, as we will be reaching out directly to coordinate this for you.
Best,
UnitedMasters

Dear UnitedMasters Team,
Dear UnitedMasters Team,
I am writing this to share my heartfelt review and deepest gratitude for your incredible platform.
As an independent artist who has pursued music passionately for many years, I have faced countless struggles, especially when it came to protecting my intellectual property and earning a sustainable income from my copyright. For a long time, my hard work yielded no financial return, which was incredibly discouraging.
However, from the very moment I joined UnitedMasters, everything changed. Even though I am a new member preparing for my very first releases here, I am deeply blown away by your service. Your system and team process everything with incredible speed, efficiency, and flawless precision. The way you handle artist metadata and distribution requests is remarkably prompt and timely.
For the first time in my musical journey, I feel secure, valued, and truly professional. UnitedMasters has given me the confidence that I have finally found the right place. I sincerely hope that UnitedMasters will not just be a distributor, but a permanent, lifelong home for my music career.
Thank you for building such an outstanding ecosystem for independent creators. You don't just distribute music; you revive the dreams of artists like me.
With utmost respect and admiration,
808 Bee

Withholding royalties, ghosting support
United Masters is holding my Tidal royalties and refusing to release them.
I have contacted their support repeatedly, but no one responds. They keep money that rightfully belongs to artists, with no explanation and no clear way to resolve the issue.
This is not a service — it’s a scam.

Do not use UM if you want to get paid for your music
Shortly after releasing my debut album, UnitedMasters (UM) withheld a significant portion of my earnings, citing “Spotify artificial streaming” as the reason. Since then, they’ve refused to engage further unless I provide evidence that I used a marketing service — something I have repeatedly stated I did not do.
My account balance remains in the negative, yet UM appears willing to remove music over missed or disputed annual payments. The lack of transparency and communication has been extremely frustrating.
On top of that, the platform feels heavily US-centric. If you are based outside the US, support can be difficult to deal with, and parts of the interface are poorly localised. For example, it suggests touring in random American cities and uses US date formatting (e.g. 5/2/26), which is confusing for international users.
Overall, the features do not justify the experience. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise others to think carefully before using this service.

Hello Daniel,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
At UnitedMasters, we take artificial streaming very seriously in order to ensure a safe platform for all artists.
A streaming service charged UnitedMasters a penalty fee because they detected what they considered 'flagrant' artificial streaming of your music.
If we were able to verify that the source of the activity detected by the streaming service was legitimate, we would be happy to reach out to them with the relevant information.
However, without further details about any promotion, playlists or legitimate listening activity associated with your music during this period, we are unable to submit an appeal for the penalty fee.
Please feel free to follow up on the thread with our support team with any additional relevant information about this streaming activity and we would be happy to review it and advise on next steps.
Best,
UnitedMasters
UnitedMasters sets a rare standard in today’s AI-driven digital landscape. At a time when many companies are scaling back or eliminating meaningful customer support, their team stands out for its professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine accessibility.
The level of care and attention provided by their staff is exceptional—and increasingly hard to find. UnitedMasters doesn’t just offer a platform; they deliver a support experience that feels open, welcoming, and truly artist-focused.
I’m still new to the streaming and delivery side of the platform, but so far, everything has been smooth and off to a strong start. As for the quality of the music, that responsibility ultimately rests with me—and UnitedMasters provides the tools to support that process effectively.
In an industry where “customer service” is often an afterthought, UnitedMasters proves it can still be done right.
Scam company, read terms of service.. made to screw you over.
Liability 100$ or less 😂
Look up the owners active lawsuits
Runaway from this company 😂

UnitedMasters completely failed to deliver
UnitedMasters completely failed to deliver on their Debut+ service. The distribution of my album was delayed, and when I asked about the release, it was already past the scheduled date. They gave me a flimsy excuse instead of taking responsibility. This is dishonest, unprofessional, and untrustworthy. Do not use this service.

Hello Nicholson Harry,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
All content submitted to UnitedMasters undergoes a routine review to ensure it meets the safety and integrity standards required by digital streaming platforms.
In some cases, a release may trigger a flag for 'artificial streaming tendencies' during this pre-distribution phase based on specific metadata or audio criteria. This is a preventative measure used to protect both the artist and the platform before a release goes live.
Our team requested additional documentation to clear this flag and move forward with your distribution. However, as you preferred to cancel the service, we honored that request and refunded your membership fee.
Please let us know if you have any further questions!
Best,
UnitedMasters

Joined the platform in 2022 it was good…
Joined the platform in 2022 it was good until they updated they're terms and conditions, now if you don't pay they just delete all your songs from the internet even if you paid for those songs to be distributed ,and again I got more than 50k streams but I only made less than $50
There’s so much that I could do for myself and whenever I ask for help I receive it… It’s simple to use and I highly recommend, we’re doing great and we got this
