| What we compared | TONTRIA for Labels | Revelator |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Record label management software: releases, royalties, A&R demos, contracts, roster, calendar, finances and press | Revelator Pro: catalog management, rights management, distribution and delivery, income tracking, royalty accounting, global payments and analytics |
| Distribution | Doesn’t distribute: you keep your distributor, and TONTRIA checks each release before it reaches it | Distributes to DSPs, with its own network or your direct and Merlin deals; DSP pitching and Spotify Discovery Mode |
| How you buy it | Quoted for each label; no public price; we set it up together | No public price on its home or labels pages; you start with “Get Started” |
| Royalties | Import the statements each distributor sends, match them to your catalog and give each artist a statement, with advances and recoupment | Income ingestion by API, FTP or upload, matching to the catalog, royalty splits and payments |
| Releases | A checklist for each release: masters, artwork, codes, credits, splits and pitch | Catalog and metadata management, batch delivery and Dolby Atmos support |
| Demos and A&R | A&R inbox for demos: listen, comment and decide as a team | Not mentioned on the pages we checked |
| Contracts | Deals, splits and key dates for each track, with reminders before an option or a term runs out | Digital contracts and blockchain smart contracts |
| AI | AI agents to draft pitches, read contracts and prepare reports, with credits included in your plan | AI mastering offered through its marketplace |

| Language of the app | Spanish today, English on the way; setup and support in English or Spanish | The site is in English |
Choose Revelator if you want one company to distribute your catalog and handle income, rights and payments, or you need an API or white label.
Choose TONTRIA for Labels if you already have a distributor and need the label’s daily work in one place — release checks, A&R demos, contracts with reminders and artist statements from your distributor’s reports — set up with a team that built it inside a working independent label.
