No hidden fees. No gotchas.

Your price depends on your venue. Here's exactly what drives it.

Why spreading it out matters

All six Performing Rights Organizations bill annually — at roughly the same time. For a mid-size venue, that's $2,000–$5,000+ due all at once every year, often the same quarter as your liquor license, insurance, and health permit renewals. We spread that into predictable regular payments — weekly or monthly — so you never get blindsided by a four-figure bill.

Four things that set your price

1.

Occupancy capacity

The fire marshal number on your wall. This is the biggest factor.

2.

Music type

Background music is cheapest. DJs cost more. Live bands cost the most.

3.

Live & DJ nights

How often you host live bands, DJs, or karaoke — the higher-tier uses raise your rate.

4.

Cover charge

Charging admission at the door bumps up licensing fees across all Performing Rights Organizations.

What real venues owe the licensing companies*

These are the annual amounts venues owe the six Performing Rights Organizations directly — from their actual 2026 rate schedules. Your exact number depends on your venue.

Small bar / cafe

Under 100 cap, background music only

$1,500–2,000/yr owed*

Mid-size restaurant

100-250 cap, DJ nights + background music

$3,000–3,800/yr owed*

Large venue / live music

250+ cap, live bands, cover charge

$8,000–13,000+/yr owed*

*Estimated annual totals owed directly to the six PROs, from their published rate schedules — not our fee. Harmonis handles all six for a flat 10% service fee plus $1.99/mo, paid by bank transfer and spread into one predictable payment (no four-figure annual bills). Card payments are coming soon (a 3.5% card surcharge applies). Use our quote calculator for your exact breakdown.

Pay-as-you-sell

New · Early access

Slow season shouldn't mean a fixed bill. Securely connect your bank once, and we take a small percentage of each week's sales — automatically — until that month's licensing bill is covered, then we stop until the next month. Busy weeks pay more, quiet weeks pay less. No big due date, no missed payments. A flat 10% admin fee applies — nothing due up front.

A small % of sales

Your rate is set from your actual deposits — typically well under 1% for a healthy venue.

Bank-linked, not a card

Connect securely through Stripe. We only read deposit totals to size the weekly amount.

Paid off every month

Each month’s bill clears within the month, then sweeping pauses — no rolling balance.

Rolling out now. Your rate is calculated from your linked deposits and shown for approval before any sweep — you always see the percentage first.
