Artist management software
Artist management software is one place to run a music career. Artistboard connects the tools you already use, like Spotify, Gmail and Shopify, and runs your releases, contacts, outreach, content, shows, merch and money from one board, with a dated plan that says what to do next.
What's inside
Ten parts that would otherwise be ten separate tools, all sharing the same artists, releases and contacts.
- 1
Release Rollout
A dated plan for every single, EP and album, with what to do each week before and after release day.
- 2
Release Checklist
Distribution, metadata and registrations, checked off before release day so nothing is missed.
- 3
Contacts
A contact list built for the music industry: press, playlist curators, venues, promoters and collaborators.
- 4
Outreach
Pitches to press, playlists and venues sent from your own Gmail, with templates and follow-up sequences.
- 5
Content
Music videos, visualizers, short-form, photo shoots and cover art, planned and tracked in one place.
- 6
Press Kit
One link with your music, photos, videos and numbers, downloadable as a PDF. Free for life.

Who it's for
Artist
Independent artists and bands managing themselves. Every tab, one act.
Managers & Labels
Managers running 2 to 10 artists on one login, and labels running several companies.
Free
Anyone who wants a press kit. Upgrade to the rest whenever you're ready.
Choosing artist management software
Six things to check in any tool you try, Artistboard included.
- 1
Built for music
A generic CRM or project tool has no idea what a release, a split or a show settlement is. Look for releases, shows and royalties built in.
- 2
A release plan with dates
The core job is getting a release out right. The software should lay out what to do each week, not just store tasks you write yourself.
- 3
Connects to your accounts
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Instagram, Gmail and Shopify. Numbers should fill in on their own instead of being copied by hand.
- 4
Outreach from your own email
Pitches land better from your own address than from a platform's. Check that it sends through your Gmail and only sends what you write.
- 5
Money in one place
Royalties, show pay, merch and ad spend next to your budget, so you can see what a release cost and what it earned.
- 6
Room to grow
If you manage, or plan to, every artist should be on one login, and a label needs more than one company.

Quick answers
What is artist management software?
Artist management software is one place to run a music career. It holds the release plan, contacts, outreach, content, shows, merch and money that would otherwise be spread across spreadsheets, notes apps and 10 to 20 separate tools.
Who uses artist management software?
Independent artists who manage themselves, artist managers running a roster, and record labels. Artists use it to run their releases like they have a full-time manager; managers and labels use it to see every artist in one place.
How much does Artistboard cost?
The Artist plan is $39 a month or $348 a year and includes every tab. The press kit is free for life with no card. Managers and labels start with a demo.
Does artist management software replace a manager?
No. It does the organizing, planning and tracking a manager would do, so a self-managed artist can work like they have one. Managers use it too, to run more artists without dropping anything.
Is it the same as a distributor?
No. A distributor gets your music onto Spotify, Apple Music and the other stores. Artistboard runs everything around the release: the plan, the checklist, the pitching, the content and the money. Keep your distributor and track the release here.
Can I manage more than one artist?
Yes. The Managers & Labels plan puts every artist on one login and lets labels run more than one company. Book a demo and we'll set it up with you.
Do I have to connect everything before I start?
No. Add your next release and Artistboard builds the plan. Connect Spotify, Gmail and the rest whenever you're ready.
