Eclipse Distro vs UnitedMasters
Wider reach, more artists, a full-service team.
UnitedMasters is built around brand deals, with a free tier as an on-ramp. But its reach is narrower (50+ DSPs) and the full-service tools are limited. Eclipse Distro reaches 100+ stores across 200 countries, covers up to 3 artists for $34.99, and adds funding, mastering, marketing and royalty recovery. You own your masters either way.
