The Fuga alternative for managing music operations beyond catalog infrastructure
FUGA provides distribution infrastructure and technology for music companies managing large catalogs and delivering music to streaming platforms worldwide.
But if you’re looking for a platform that connects distribution, royalties, collaboration, analytics, and fan engagement into one structured workflow, Releese is built differently. Releese brings releases, royalties, rights, collaboration, and analytics into one workspace.

Does Fuga cover your entire music operation?
FUGA focuses on distribution infrastructure and catalog management for music companies and distributors.

Releese is designed to bring these workflows together in one workspace.
Releese automates splits and recoups with transparent ledgers.
Shared workspaces keep artists and managers aligned.
Lifetime pre-saves grow with your catalog.
Files stay tied to releases inside one workspace.
Unified analytics provide a single view of performance.
FUGA focuses on infrastructure. Releese focuses on fully connected operations.
FUGA positions itself as a technology platform for labels, distributors, and rights holders managing large catalogs.
If you’re looking for a platform designed to keep releases, royalties, collaborators, and marketing aligned inside one system, Releese offers a different approach.
Here’s how the platforms compare:

What actually lands in your bank account?
Releese plans let you keep up to 97.1% of your earnings. FUGA's deals are commission-based and negotiated per artist, with commissions that run higher — so on the same royalties, a larger share stays with the distributor.
Avg. royalties per 1,000 US Spotify streams (USD), from Releese member payout data, Nov 2025 — after commissions, all plans, including publishing (neighboring rights excluded, as they aren't paid on streaming). Earnings vary by plan, territory, and listener type.
