How It Works

Performance to payment.
Six steps.

Every screen below is the live product — not a mockup. This is what happens between walking on stage and a royalty claim landing at your PRO.

01

Set your set.

Before you play, load your planned setlist — your own catalog or anything you’re covering that night. Setlistr listens for these songs first, so recognition is fast and accurate from the first note.

02

Capture the live show.

One tap starts the record. On-device audio recognition confirms each song as it’s played and verifies it against your set — no phone-waving, no post-show reconstruction from memory.

03

The show closes out clean.

When you walk off stage, the performance is already a verified, timestamped record — every song, source-confirmed, ready to move into submission.

04

Verified shows move to claim.

Confirmed performances flow into the submission pipeline for the PROs you’re registered with — SOCAN, ASCAP, BMI, PRS, APRA, SESAC, GMR — without manual paperwork on your end.

05

Your touring record builds itself.

Every verified show adds to a career record — cities played, venues, hours on stage — the performance history that’s never existed at this level of detail before.

06

Every milestone is yours to share.

Verified show counts and milestones generate shareable cards — proof of work, built for an audience that already follows you.

Common questions

How do I submit a setlist to SOCAN, ASCAP, or BMI?

Setlistr captures your setlist automatically during a live performance using audio recognition, then routes verified show data through the submission pipeline to your registered performing rights organization — including SOCAN, ASCAP, BMI, PRS, APRA, SESAC, and GMR — without manual paperwork.

What live performance royalties am I owed as a songwriter?

Performing rights organizations pay songwriters for live performances of their registered works, but most PROs rely on statistical sampling rather than tracking every show. Setlistr closes that gap by creating a verified record of every performance so no show goes unaccounted for.

How does Setlistr verify a live performance?

Setlistr listens during the show using audio recognition, matching songs against the artist’s planned setlist and a cover catalog in real time, then confirms each detection before it becomes part of the permanent performance record.

Is Setlistr available now?

Setlistr is in early access. Artists and publishers can apply for access, and applications are reviewed individually before onboarding.
