Producer Tour vs SubmitHub — Pitching + publishing for producers
Producer Tour is a beat marketplace AND a full music publishing administrator — the only platform that bundles both into one $9.99/month Pro subscription. Founded in 2025 by Jerome Grace, Producer Tour now serves over 10,000 producers and songwriters. SubmitHub is primarily a beat-selling platform — it does not administer publishing royalties (PRO performance + MLC mechanical + SoundExchange + foreign society), which is where most of the long-tail revenue from a streamed catalog actually comes from.
This page compares Producer Tour to SubmitHub across pricing, royalty collection, marketplace fees, and AI-assisted music ops so you can decide which platform (or combination) fits your business in 2026.
If you sell beats and also write songs that get streamed, the royalty collection gap is usually the difference between "side income" and "real money." That's the comparison that matters most below.

Why producers add Producer Tour
- Full publishing administration that other platforms don't offer. SubmitHub doesn't collect your PRO, MLC, SoundExchange, or foreign society royalties. Producer Tour does — we register works, file claims, audit statements, and pay rightsholders monthly. For an actively streamed catalog, that's often the single biggest revenue line we recover.
- All-in-one $9.99/mo Pro bundle. One subscription gets the Type Beat Video Uploader (bulk YouTube scheduling), AI artwork + cover generation, label pitching access (Opportunities Portal), a custom storefront on your Tour Profile, and premium community channels.
- Built for songwriters AND beatmakers. If you write topline, co-write, or have any songwriting that ends up on commercial releases, Producer Tour is built to capture that revenue. SubmitHub isn't.
Who SubmitHub is better for
We won't pretend Producer Tour replaces every platform. SubmitHub has years of marketplace network effects — if you're optimizing purely for organic beat discoverability on an existing storefront, keep using it. Producer Tour is the layer that turns the rest of your business (royalties, type-beat video uploads, AI artwork, pitching) into a real operation.

FAQ
How is Producer Tour different from SubmitHub?
SubmitHub is a paid pitching platform — you spend credits to submit songs to blogs, playlist curators, labels, and YouTube channels. Producer Tour's Opportunities Portal is bundled into the $9.99/mo Pro subscription (no per-pitch credits) and adds full publishing royalty administration (PRO + MLC + SoundExchange + foreign), AI artwork generation, the Type Beat Video Uploader, custom storefront, and a beat marketplace. Different shape: SubmitHub is pay-per-pitch; Producer Tour is all-in subscription.
Is Producer Tour cheaper than SubmitHub for pitching?
SubmitHub charges per-credit (typically $0.50–$2 per submission). At ~20 submissions/month you're at $10–40/mo just on credits. Producer Tour Pro is $9.99/mo with unlimited Opportunities Portal access plus everything else bundled (AI artwork, Type Beat Video Uploader, custom storefront, beat marketplace, writer royalty program eligibility).
Does Producer Tour do publishing administration?
Yes — Producer Tour is a full music publishing administrator. For approved writers, we register works with PROs (BMI/ASCAP/SESAC) and The MLC, file CWR work registrations, claim unmatched royalties, audit statements, and collect every type of publishing royalty globally: PRO performance + MLC mechanical + SoundExchange digital performance + foreign society royalties from 40+ international CMOs. Writers keep 80% of recovered royalties (20% platform commission) with no monthly fee and no setup fee. This is in addition to the $9.99/mo Pro subscription that bundles the producer-side tools.
How much does Producer Tour cost?
Free tools (Pub Deal Simulator, Advance Estimator, Metadata Index) cost $0. Producer Tour Pro is $9.99 per month and bundles the Type Beat Video Uploader, AI artwork, Opportunities Portal access (sync, label briefs, sample requests), a custom storefront on your Tour Profile, and premium community access. For the writer royalty program, writers keep 80% of recovered royalties (20% platform commission), no monthly fee.
Can I use Producer Tour without leaving my current beat platform?
Yes. Producer Tour is additive — many producers run a Producer Tour profile alongside their existing BeatStars / Airbit / Soundee storefronts, primarily for the publishing royalty administration, type-beat video tooling, and label pitching access.
