  7digital (now branded MassiveMusic following a corporate pivot) sells access
  to its 100M+ track licensed music catalogue and streaming infrastructure
  exclusively under commercial agreements. The platform does NOT publish self-
  serve pricing tiers — every customer engages through a Client Success contact
  who scopes pricing on a per-product, per-territory, per-volume basis. The
  effective billing surface tends to be: per-stream / per-download licence fees
  remitted via royalty-style reporting, plus an integration/platform fee for
  API access. Pricing therefore reads as a single "contact sales" platform
  plan, broken into the product lines (Catalogue + Streaming + Subscription
  Streaming + Interactive Radio + Background Music + Content Delivery +
  Download) that customers actually license.

    description: >-
      Single commercial-agreement plan covering all 7digital / MassiveMusic API
      products. Pricing is negotiated with Client Success and is a combination
      of licence fees per stream / per download per licensor and a platform /
      integration fee. Non-live (sandbox) keys are free but rate-limited.
