The DJ stores, next to the big ones
“I built droplr for my own releases, because the tools I was using didn't know how dance music actually comes out: country by country, on DJ stores, often with an exclusive window.”
Cody Morrison (Ototo) · UK garage DJ and producer, runs Rhythm Revolt Records in Brisbane. It's just me, so when you email, you're talking to the person who can fix it.
The product
Stores release country by country, so droplr does too. The page flips at midnight wherever the fan is, and the release-day email leads with the store they picked.
Spotify only lets new apps save music for a handful of people, so droplr leads with an email pre-save that works for every fan, and a Follow button so you show up in their Spotify.
Same release, same Friday. The email arrives when the track has actually unlocked for that fan.
Paste a Spotify link and the artwork, colour and store links fill in, DJ stores included. Unreleased is fine.
Tell droplr a release is exclusive to Beatport and it warns you before a link breaks the window. It checks your barcode, ISRC and titles against what stores reject, too.
Two Step Theory · smart link
Put stems, an edit pack or an unreleased track behind an email or a follow. Connect your own SoundCloud app (it needs SoundCloud Artist Pro) and the follow and repost are actually done for the fan.
Every step that can't be checked says so, and the file's address is never in the page.

How far people got
Your latest release sits at the top and changes by itself. Under it go your links, social icons, videos that play on the page and merch that opens your shop. Four looks, four fonts, your own colours.
The bio page, looks included, is on every plan, including Free.

Your fans stay yours
You can see every fan's address on every plan, Free included. Export to CSV is on the paid plans, and the whole list downloads on any plan when you close your account.
droplr handles your fans only to run your pages. I don't sell them, use them for my own label, or mix them with anyone else's list. Read the data processing terms.
Closing your account is one confirmation, with no discount and no second ask. If droplr ever shut down, its links would stop working, which is why the list is always yours to take. Questions go to hello@droplr.fm.
FAQ
Not for most fans, and I'd rather say so now than have you find out on release day. Since February 2026, Spotify only lets a new app save music for 5 people you allowlist by hand. Lifting that needs Spotify's Extended Quota, which is only for registered businesses with 250,000+ monthly users. Any newer pre-save service without that approval has the same limit.
So droplr.fm is built around what works for every fan: an email pre-save where they choose their store, a release-day email at 9am in their own timezone, and a Follow on Spotify button so new releases show up for them in Spotify. How it works
Free covers 3 new releases in any 12 months — a rolling window, not a calendar-year reset — and emails the first 250 pre-savers of each release on release day. Fans past that still pre-save and never see an error; you'll see how many missed out and can upgrade before release day. Links and pages never switch off.
Both. Artists run their own releases, fan list and promo plan. Labels run a roster, with artist logins and analytics across every release. Pick artist or label when you sign up.
Fair question, and the honest answer is the reason droplr exists. One person runs it, and droplr has no investors to outlast — it stays up on what subscriptions pay for.
So here is exactly what you walk away with, on every plan including Free. Your fan list is yours: every address is visible on Free and exports as CSV on any paid plan, with the consent each person gave and the date they gave it. None of that has to be asked for. The one thing that doesn't outlive droplr is a link on droplr itself, which is exactly why the list matters.
That matters because of what has already happened to other people. smartURL was bought and its analytics closed on migration. Songwhip shut down and the links in people's bios stopped resolving. Songlink switched off its API with about six weeks' notice. Every time, the fan data was the part people couldn't get back. Take your list with you now, not when you need it.
More than people expect, and less than a page builder. Your bio page gets one of four looks and one of four fonts on every plan, and release and download pages get them from Artist. Each look comes with an accent colour taken from your artwork or picked by hand, your own text, button and glow colours, and a background image you can blur. Light, dark or following the fan's phone is free on every page. Add your own logo, and from Artist Pro run it all on your own domain. Try the looks on the demo. Every link is yours to shape: its title, its button text (Play, Buy, Tickets, Dubplate Download, whatever you type), its icon, whether it shows at all, and the order they sit in.
What you don't get is custom CSS or a free-form layout, and that is a decision rather than a gap. A fan is on that page for about four seconds, on a phone, half way through scrolling, looking for the store they already use. Hand-written CSS is how link pages end up slow and broken on a three-year-old Android, and the page has one job.
If the shape is stopping you doing something specific — tell me what you're trying to build. It's one person here, which is a downside in plenty of ways, but it does mean the person you're asking is the person who can build it.
Yes. Import a CSV from wherever your list lives now — a gate service, a mailing tool, a spreadsheet — and droplr records where each contact came from and what they agreed to, because the law asks who consented and when, not which tool was open at the time.
Imported contacts are kept separate from fans who pre-saved here, and they are never included in a release-day send. They can only be reached by a news email you write yourself. The best thing to send them is your pre-save link: the ones who sign up become fans with fresh consent, collected here.
Yes, on Artist Pro and the label plans. Point a subdomain like music.yourname.com at droplr.fm with one DNS record, and droplr verifies it and issues the certificate for you. Domain setup
Fans who tick the optional "news and new music" box are yours to email. Fans who only pre-saved agreed to hear about that release, and droplr sends that email for you. The fan list shows which is which, and exports it as CSV on a paid plan.
Australian dollars (AUD), including any tax. Paid plans are billed monthly or yearly and you can cancel any time. No per-release fees.
No. The artist plans cover one artist on purpose, but the step up is Pro at A$29 a month — A$4 more than Artist Pro — and it carries up to 5 artists, each with their own profile, their own fan list, their own stats, and their own login if you want to hand one over.
One honest wrinkle: a profile set up as an artist account has to be switched to the roster type before it can take the Pro plan, and that switch isn't self-serve yet — email me and I'll do it. If you're already paying, the current subscription has to finish first so the plan and the account type don't disagree.
Two things are already on your side. The release limit runs over any rolling 12 months, not a calendar year, so a hiatus doesn't burn slots — they come back on their own anniversaries. And the yearly price is two months free, which is the cheapest way to cover the months you're not releasing.
There's no pause button, and I'd rather say that than imply one. If you cancel, nothing is deleted: your pages and links stay up, your fan list stays yours, and a custom domain keeps serving for 14 days before those links start redirecting to droplr.fm. The DNS record stays valid, so coming back later is re-subscribing, not setting it all up again.
Yes. droplr fills in the big stores from the UPC or ISRC as they appear, and anything it can't look up you add by hand — Beatport, Traxsource, Juno, Bandcamp, Qobuz, Boomplay, Anghami and the rest are all there, and droplr sends you straight to that store's search page to find the link.
Past those, there's a custom link: any URL at all, with your own title and your own button text. Vinyl on a distro site, a regional store nobody has heard of, a download gate, your merch. Automatic where it can be, typed in where it can't, and the order on the page is yours.
Yes. Labels invite artists from the roster; artists get their own login to copy their links and see stats for their releases. Pro includes up to 5 artists, Label has no limit.
Yes, without the App Store. Open your dashboard on your phone and add it to your Home Screen (Safari or Chrome on iPhone, Chrome on Android). It opens full screen and can notify you about pre-save milestones, release day and replies from me.
