Spinrate
A small-webcaster royalty workspace that normalizes play evidence, applies versioned verified rate rules, separates recording and composition obligations, and produces reviewer-approved reports with filing reconciliation.
Commercial webcasters face confirmed 2026 per-performance recording-royalty rates plus recurring statements and reports of use. The current small-operator path includes spreadsheets and a free template, while the research found no dedicated low-cost automated calculator. Spinrate ingests station, channel, subscriber, transmission, audience, and recording evidence; validates duplicates and gaps; applies only the rate schedule verified for the exact service class and period; and produces a calculation and report package for authorized review. It must not collapse recording royalties, composition or mechanical obligations, minimum fees, direct licenses, or other regimes into one liability. A repertoire lookup can assist identity matching but cannot establish rights, ownership, eligibility, or amount owed. Submission, receipt, acceptance, payment, settlement, and later adjustment remain separate states.
The owner, finance lead, royalty administrator, or operations manager of a small or mid-sized commercial webcaster, internet-radio operator, or qualifying network.
The 2026–2030 rate period creates a concrete current rule window.
Import, normalization, deterministic calculation, exception review, report generation, and reconciliation scale through software.
Two related ideas and one inbound connection provide moderate but limited convergence.
Confirmed 2026 rates, recurring reporting, a verified repertoire interface, and an empty dedicated calculator category support a focused workflow.
Buyer size and budget remain broad, only one interface was verified, rights regimes differ, filing acceptance is external, and incumbents or collecting organizations can add tooling.
