Become a Muse PartnerMuseHub empowers you to scale your product distribution worldwide, leveraging our platform technology for easy discovery, payments, download and installation, license management and customer support.
We prioritize customer experience by offering an elegant, App Store-style experience tailored to the creative audio and music sector.
MuseHub makes it easy to sell your product to an international audience.
When a customer buys your product on MuseHub, they are buying it from us. As the Merchant of Record, we handle the payment process, fees, sales taxes, currency conversion, and any other costs associated with the transaction.
Your proceeds are transferred to your account balance and paid out to your nominated bank account at the start of the month. Whether it’s just a few or millions of transactions, you receive a streamlined business-to-business payment from us once a month, with nothing else to worry about.
You can download reports and view a record of individual transactions.
MuseHub puts you in charge of how you want your content to be priced and charged.
You can define base prices, and the system automatically calculates localized, globally adjusted pricing for 50 territories around the world.
You can decide when to run sales by defining discount periods. MuseHub also offers an optional Managed Promotions program, where we can apply sales and promotions on your behalf, ensuring you don’t miss key sales events like Black Friday.
MuseHub can automatically and seamlessly install most common installer formats, including macOS Packages, Windows MSI, MSIX, and EXE, as well as directly installing macOS .apps from either a zip archive or. DMG container.
For plug-ins, we can even install VST3, AU, and AAX formats directly—no installer required—making it easier than ever to deliver your products to customers.
MuseHub automatically downloads and can even launch your product immediately after purchase.
Any updates you publish are automatically delivered to customers and installed for them if they wish. You can be sure everyone stays up to date without having to build and maintain complex auto-update frameworks.
All products are delivered via our CDN system, ensuring that customers get fast, reliable downloads every time.
There are no hosting or bandwidth fees for you to worry about, regardless of whether your product is downloaded once or a million times a month.
We’ve built innovative licensing solutions, provided free of charge, to protect your IP and easily enable commercial business models.
Muse DRM is an easy "no-code" solution for protecting existing binaries. This protection allows the binary to execute according to the user’s license state, enabling you to offer various business models, such as subscriptions or free trials, simply by applying Muse DRM and flipping a switch in the Partner Portal. This approach is ideal for apps and plug-ins that download and install on the customer’s device, offering the highest security from attackers.
Integrate the Muse SDK into your code at build time to receive information from the Hub over secure channels directly into your app or plugin. This approach is best for apps or plugins that have a user account requirement or an existing subscription model to integrate with.
Even if your product is free, you can still benefit financially from the MuseHub platform. Next to every product, there is a simple way for customers to say “thanks” to the developer by giving a tip.
Customers can tip any product on the Hub, whether it’s free or not, including individual loops and samples.
Tips are sent directly to your account balance and paid out as part of the usual payout cycle on the first of the month.
MuseHub is an app for discovering inspirational music and audio tools, like apps, plug-ins and sounds, from the world’s best indie developers.
Once you’ve downloaded MuseHub, you can browse the ever expanding catalog of tools and content, and download the things you want directly to your computer. MuseHub will take care of the installation, updating, and license management.
You don’t need an account to download free things, like MuseScore Studio and Audacity. However, to purchase or activate free trials, you’ll need to create a free account. Your account is also where you can view and download invoices for any purchases, add billing details to streamline future purchases, manage your device authorisations and update your content.
Muse Sounds are playback sounds for the free notation app MuseScore Studio. They only work with MuseScore Studio, and are created in partnership with some of the world’s leading sound developers. By creating special editions of flagship libraries, we aim to make it easy and accessible to use these amazing sample libraries with notation. They’re lightweight, don’t require supercomputers to run, and are much more affordable and easy to use: just load and go!
Elements are our collective name for loops, sound effects, production music and one-shot samples. You can browse a huge collection of Elements, and search for the sound you’re looking for. These sounds are created by professional sound designers and producers, and you can buy these as packs, or - for the first time - as individual files, from just $0.29 cents.
To buy individual Elements, you need to use the Muse Wallet, which is a pre-paid balance that you can apply towards individual element purchases, and tips. Elements, due to their nature of buying a royalty free license, are non-refundable. For more information, refer to the MuseHub Terms of Service.
To buy or try things out, you’ll need an account, which you can create within the app itself. Once you’re signed in, you can buy or try things with just a click. Apps and plug-ins are managed by the Hub itself, so you won’t need to worry about serial numbers or activation processes.
Top-up your Muse Wallet to buy individual Elements, or send tips. As well as using the wallet for individual Element purchases and tips, you will soon be able to use your Muse Wallet balance towards the purchase of anything on the platform.
It’s important to note that the Muse Wallet is simply a balance, and is not a credit card or any kind of financial account. Top-ups made to the wallet are non-refundable. For more information on Muse Wallet, refer to the Muse Hub Terms of Service.
Muse Hub is a platform that brings content from indie-developers to you. If you appreciate the content that’s been made, you can show your appreciation, and support them and their work further, by sending them a tip. Tips go straight to the developer. Because you can tip small amounts (e.g $1), they are taken from your Muse Wallet. Tips are non-refundable. For more information on tips, refer to the Muse Hub Terms of Service.
Yes, you can refund apps, Muse Sounds and plug-ins, for any reason within 14 days. Click “Report a problem” in the Hub, then choose “Request a Refund”. We’ll process this refund as soon as we can. For more information, please see the Terms of Service. Please note that Muse Wallet top-ups, Elements and Tips are non-refundable.
You can leave reviews for anything that you’ve downloaded or purchased, or just rate it with a thumbs up or thumbs down to let the developers and others know what you think. Muse Hub will generate you a unique nickname, which you can change at any point from your account portal. You can go back to your previous reviews to delete them later.
If you need support for a product you’ve bought from Muse Hub, you can click the “Contact Support” button on the product’s dedicated page within the Hub. If you need support or assistance with anything related to billing, using the Hub, or issues with downloading or authorizing purchases, then please get in touch with us directly at https://support.musehub.com.
