The DIY publishing admin
platform for songwriters and publishers.
Collect every dollar your songs earn, whether you write them yourself or publish for a roster of writers. One platform, more than 50 societies, and no conflicts of interest.
Every stream travels the world. Most royalties don't follow.
A song streamed in Berlin, Paris, São Paulo and Tokyo should pay the writer in all four places. In reality, most of that money gets reallocated to someone else or simply disappears.
Royalties are territorial
Songs only pay out where the writer is locally registered. Global streams become lost income.
The windows close
Most societies give just 6 to 18 months to register before royalties are permanently reallocated to the majors.
Fifty societies, fifty portals
Each society brings its own paperwork, fees, languages and delivery formats. Navigating them alone is a full-time job.
The cost of the gap
$424M unmatched at the US MLC in 2024. $500M+ still in escrow, waiting to be claimed.
One platform. 50+ societies. Every dollar collected.
Built for songwriters and publishers who want full control of their catalog without the fragmented paperwork.
One-click global registration
Add a song once. We format and file it with every relevant society, in the format each one demands.
Real-time royalty dashboard
Watch your balance grow in real time as statements arrive from every territory, backed by full quarterly statements for your records.
Publisher and agency accounts
Manage multiple songwriters under one roof. Writers get portal access to their catalog and financials while you handle administration.
Metadata checked before filing
We validate, dedupe and fix song metadata before it ever reaches a society, so registrations stick the first time.
Fraud-resistant by design
KYC, CISAC validation, contract review and deduplication are baked into every flow.
Quarterly payouts, early cashout
Payouts run every quarter. Need funds sooner? Cash out your available balance any time for a small additional fee.
Four steps. Every royalty, everywhere.
Add a song
Title, writers and your society memberships. That is all we need to get started.
Link the recordings
Match your work to the recordings earning on streaming platforms, radio and beyond.
Set the splits
Enter each writer's share. We check the math and flag conflicts before anything is filed.
Submit globally
One click files the work with every relevant society. We track each registration to approval.
Recover lost royalties. Keep your rights. Scale globally.
Retroactive recovery
New clients typically arrive with years of uncollected royalties. We claim what is already owed, often paying for the service before the first year is out.
You keep 100%
We never take ownership of your songs. You keep every piece of your catalog on a straightforward 12-month term, and we earn only when you collect.
Built by an insider
Designed by a hit songwriter and former Warner Music executive who lived this problem for a decade.
Independent by design.
Legacy platforms were built by majors, for majors. We built PubAdmin for the writers and publishers who never signed away their rights.
One fee. Nothing else.
We earn only when you earn. No subscriptions, no setup fees, and no catalog acquisition, ever.
* Payouts run quarterly. A small early-withdrawal fee applies when cashing out before the regular distribution cycle. Standard quarterly payouts are always fee-free.
What are your songs owed?
A rough estimate of writer-side royalties we could administer on your behalf.
Your typical ownership share of the works (e.g. 50% applies half the pool to you before our fee).
* Rough estimate only. Actual payouts depend on territory mix, society rates, splits per work, and usage type. Book a free audit for a precise number.
At Warner I watched brilliant writers lose real money to paperwork. Not to bad deals, to forms that never got filed. PubAdmin is the platform I wish every writer I worked with had.
