What are iMusician benefits compared to LinkFire?
Pay less, get more
Most smartlink providers, such as LinkFire, charge $10+ for a smartlink tool only. With iMusician’s AMPLIFY+ you get unlimited pro-looking release pages with smartlink, music analytics for all releases distributed with us, and additional distribution and promo perks for the same amount of money, or even less if you go with our AMPLIFY plan.
With iMusician you can also choose to go with a free smartlink, and downgrade to it at any time, for as long as you need. LinkFire only offers paid smartlink subscription plans, making it more difficult to meet the current needs of independent artists like yourself.
Online forever and always
We’re all about “online forever”, music promotion included. That’s why you don't need to maintain a subscription to retain access to your Release Pages. All of your release pages stay online forever, and most importantly, the URL will never change. LinkFire will have your smartlink deleted if you don’t pay their monthly or annual subscription.
If you choose to downgrade your subscription, your pages will simply change to Release Pages Pro or Release Pages Free, according to your new membership level. The information you entered won’t ever be lost. You can change your mind at any point, resubscribe, and everything will be back to how it was before!
