Why Katalyzer Is the Ideal Choice for Catalogue Owners

If you manage a music catalogue — whether it’s a legacy label archive or acquired rights — you know how frustrating traditional distribution can be.
Most platforms are built for frontline releases, but catalogue content is different: it earns passively, requires less effort, yet still demands clean, compliant accounting.

Katalyzer was built specifically for this overlooked space.
We’re the first platform in the world focused exclusively on catalogue distribution — combining the lowest fees, zero admin work, and full EU tax compliance.

✅ The Lowest Cut in the Market. No Hidden Costs.

Let’s be blunt: Katalyzer takes a smaller share than any other serious distributor out there. No surprise charges. No “premium feature” upsells.
Just a minimal, transparent revenue share that scales with your catalogue — not your stress.

✅ No Admin Work. Truly Hands-Off: We Handle Everything

With Katalyzer, you do nothing — literally. We take care of the entire backend: monthly accounting, artist payouts, rights-holder splits,
and even tax-ready reports. Want us to pay artists directly? Done. Your only job: forward the monthly PDF to your tax advisor. That’s it.

✅ The Only EU Tax-Compliant Split Accounting System

Other platforms (mostly U.S.-based) offer partial split tools — but none of them meet European legal standards.
Katalyzer is the only platform in Europe offering fully automated split accounting and payout processing
that’s 100% compliant with EU tax law.

✅ Full Transparency & Modern Tech

Katalyzer combines powerful infrastructure with total visibility. Every stakeholder — label, artist,
rights holder — can access their own data in real time. You see where money comes in, where it goes, and how your catalogue is performing.
Finally: tech that feels like 2025, not 2012.

✅ Easy Setup. Smooth Migration.

Switching doesn’t need to hurt. We manage the entire migration process for you: no downtime, no lost revenue, no metadata mess.
You stay focused on your catalogue — we handle the rest.

We also start every new partnership with a personal walkthrough. No guessing, no hoping — it’s all clear before you commit.

Whether you’re managing a niche backlist or a decades-deep archive, Katalyzer was built to give catalogue owners exactly what they’ve been missing: clarity, automation, and peace of mind.
