TuneCore drops monthly breakdown, shows annual-only pricing on Unlimited plan
What happened
Between the Apr 15, 2026 and Apr 21, 2026 captures of TuneCore's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Unlimited plan pricing display changed from showing a monthly breakdown with annual total (e.g. $4.58/mo billed at $54.99/yr) to showing the annual price only ($54.99/yr). The add-on label also dropped its /year qualifier. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Rising Artist at $24.99, Single at $24.99, Breakout Artist at $44.99, Professional at $54.99 and Album at $56.49.
This is the first pricing-page change Pulse has recorded for TuneCore. TuneCore has been tracked since 2026-04-15.
