Hypeddit invented the download gate. Then charged $10/mo to hand you the emails.
Their free tier runs the gate. It doesn't give you what the gate caught — “Fan Email Collection” first appears on the $10 Basic plan. And the free tier is only available after your trial lapses.
It isn't just Hypeddit
Linkfire — no free plan at all. The trial “reverts to a limited free account.” $27/mo.
Feature.fm — collects unlimited fan emails on every plan, then gates access to them: none on Free, 50 per link at $8, 200 at $19, unlimited at $39. Their free plan reads, in their words: “Collect unlimited emails, upgrade to access emails.”
Hypeddit — the download-gate company. Fan Email Collection starts at $10/mo.
Every one of them puts a form on your page, catches your fan, and then charges you rent on the result. That's not a quirk of one company. It's how the category is built — and it's the reason we built ours the other way round.
All three read off their own pricing pages on 13 July 2026: hypeddit.com/pricing, feature.fm/pricing/artist, linkfire.com/pricing. Prices change — check them, and tell us if we've got one wrong.

The list is yours on the free plan
Capture, read, export — free
Turn on Become a Fan, and the first email that lands is visible in your dashboard and in a CSV you can download. On the free plan. We store your fans' addresses on your behalf — you're the controller, we're the processor. It's on our privacy page, not just our marketing.
Royalties, splits and a store
Upload a distributor statement and get a readable report. Split it with the people who played on it. Sell the beat at 0% commission through your own Stripe.
A page they can play
The Experience lander turns your 30-second clip into eight pads a fan can actually perform — from the MP3 you already uploaded.
The questions you're about to ask
Can I use both?+
Yes, and plenty of people should. Run your download gates on Hypeddit for the follow-for-a-track mechanic, and run your release pages on git-royal so the ads, the royalties and the store live in one place. They're not the same job.
Is git-royal's free plan going to expire on me?+
No. There's no trial clock. Sign up, publish unlimited pages, capture fans, export the CSV — for nothing, indefinitely. Hypeddit's free 'Rookie' tier is described on their own pricing page as 'Available after the PRO trial' — you get it when your trial runs out, not when you sign up.
What about the pixel and tracking?+
Free on every git-royal plan, including the free one — the browser pixel AND server-side Meta CAPI, plus TikTok's Events API from the same page. Hypeddit also does pixel, CAPI, TikTok and Google tracking. On this we're roughly even; the difference is that we also build the retargeting audience for you, in your own ad account.
Where do these prices come from?+
Their own public pricing pages, checked on the date at the top. Open hypeddit.com/pricing, feature.fm/pricing/artist and linkfire.com/pricing in three tabs and read the fan-email rows yourself. We've linked all three above, and we date-stamp what we checked. If we've got something wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — being caught misquoting a competitor would cost us far more than the page is worth.
Build one and look at the fan list.
Paste any Spotify or Apple Music link and the page assembles itself. No account, no card. Then sign up and watch the first email land somewhere you can actually read it — without reaching for a card.
Or read the pricing. It's one page and there's nothing hidden in it.
