Question 2

How does Sound Pulse decide a song is indie & alternative?

Accepted Answer

It is the genre the artist picked when adding the song. If none was picked, we use the topic categories YouTube attaches to the song's own video, read through the official YouTube Data API. We don't guess a genre from the title, so a song whose topics match no genre isn't listed under one.

Question 3

What does it cost to get creators to use a indie & alternative song?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how you pay. Published 2026 ranges for music creators run from about $50–$200 per sponsored post for nano creators to $5,000–$20,000+ at 1M+ followers (Dynamoi). Paying per verified view, you set the rate per 1,000 views and the budget. The Indie & alternative cost calculator compares both.
