Questions we get a lot.

How long until my release goes live?

After you submit, the release is reviewed and delivered to your chosen stores — typically within 24 hours. Each store then has its own ingestion window, so set the release date at least 2 weeks ahead to avoid release-day delays.

Does the 7-day trial need a credit card?

No. Sign up with just your email and explore the dashboard for 7 days: build releases as drafts, transfer your catalog, set up artists and smart links. Pushing a release to stores and buying add-ons require a paid plan — pick one whenever you’re ready. Nothing is charged automatically.

Do I keep ownership of my music?

Always. You grant Spilix a non-exclusive licence only so we can deliver to the stores you choose, and you can request a takedown at any time.

Can I switch from another distributor and keep my UPC/ISRC?

Yes. Tick "This release was distributed before" in the editor and enter your existing UPC and original release date so your streams and codes carry over instead of creating a duplicate.
