The worst experience I've ever had with any service or company. They advertised free distribution so I registered and uploaded well mixed and mastered song with a good quality cover image, which all easily fulfilled the requirements. It gave an error without details several times, and support couldn't explain why either. It finally went through months after uploading for the first time.
I had given up hope long ago, but a week ago I got an email that my song will be available on Spotify in two days. And behold, it finally appeared, 3 weeks short of a YEAR after uploading it for the first time. Yet it still shows with an error in the web app.
I asked the support to take it down since I don't want anything to do with a company like this. They replied that the song hasn't been published since it would require an active subscription. Yet I already listened it on Spotify a few times.
So, free distribution isn't free, yet goes through a year later. Good luck with that.
REPLYING TO UNCHAINED’S RESPONSE:
The cover art was changed when the first upload gave an error, to make sure it didn’t fail because of that. It was then reuploaded to your services with this exact cover art. I have never even tried to upload any music through any other agents. Also, until today the song showed an error on your web platform but if I clicked to it through the artist roster it showed as published. You have now changed it to “removed”, so hopefully that means it’ll be removed from Spotify as well.

Terrible and misleading service.
I paid for a subscription specifically because it advertised YouTube Content ID, but after payment, I was denied access to this feature with no clear justification.
Instead, they falsely accused me of using AI-generated music, which is completely untrue, and failed to provide any evidence to support this claim.
Key limitations were not clearly disclosed before purchase, and when I requested a refund, it was refused with generic excuses.
This feels like deceptive and dishonest business practices. Very disappointing experience — I do not recommend this service.

Subscribed only to find my songs were wrong format and not sure if they took AI
Asked for refund (£13) to be told they only refund if it
was UMs fault
Rather un-generous and said a lot about their attitude

I have been with Unchained for almost a year on the Pro tier, and in that time there have been a multitude of complications and frustrations.
One particular grievance I had was when one of my songs was falsely copyright-claimed as having used a sample from another song, simply because the titles were the same.
I received some pushback when I challenged the claim as illegitimate, so I presumed it was likely made by artificial intelligence as any human reviewer would instantly hear that the song contains no such sample and doesn't sound anything like the other track.
My second frustration came when I decided to release a single around April last year. I was met with Unchained's inability to process the release in a reasonable amount of time. After long periods of silence from support, I was finally able to release the single in mid-June—many months past the initial upload.
The final nail in the coffin was when I decided to cancel my subscription. Although that process has been straightforward and support has been more responsive as of late, the payout system using Borderless has a minimum withdrawal of $15, so I wasn't even able to collect the few royalties I had accumulated while with Unchained.
In short, I don’t recommend Unchained, as they have been inconsistent and have failed to live up to professional standards of distribution.
Edit to the claim that releases are only delayed if you have failed to provide all correct information. That is a lie. Last year I provided all the proper information for my release, and before the streaming services could even be involved, Unchained failed to process and distribute the release within the time frame they claimed it would take. Only after sending support numerous emails over a long period of time, would the release go live. And all the information was easily processed by the streaming services without a problem. And I was told that my release had no problems by unchained. Trying to claim that it wasn't because of the company's lack of unprofessionalism and blaming it on the consumer, especially when that claim is false is not a good business practice.

They just flag my catalogue as something wrong. It is already out there being played all over. When I go to address the flag I cannot edit the fields. Useless service if you ask me. software doesn't work and no people to back it.

I am writing this to warn other independent creators about Unchained Music’s deceptive business practices. They are currently utilizing a "Bait and Switch" tactic that targets the AI-music community.
1. The Bait: Misleading "AI-Friendly" Marketing
Unchained Music actively markets itself in creator communities (like Reddit and Discord) as an "AI-friendly" alternative to traditional distributors. Based on this professional image and their outreach to AI artists, I purchased a yearly subscription on February 17th.
2. The Trap: Impossible Requirements
Immediately after paying, my release was rejected twice. Their support informed me that they only accept AI content if the AI model is "Fairly Trained" certified or has disclosed all its training data. Since major platforms like Suno and Udio (which 95% of AI creators use) are not currently on this specific list, Unchained effectively blocks almost all AI creators AFTER they have already paid their non-refundable subscription fee.
3. Human Involvement
Despite my music showing clear human creative involvement (stem separation, re-arranging, studio editing, and mastering) and me providing full proof of my Suno Premier commercial license, Unchained Music still rejected my content. They move the goalposts by demanding a 'Fairly Trained' certification that they know 99% of AI creators cannot provide. I followed every single one of their 'human input' rules, yet they still took my money and blocked the service.
4. Categorical Rejection Despite Legal License
Despite providing official PDF documentation of my Suno Premier License (proving I hold 100% commercial ownership), they refused to distribute my music. They lure AI creators in with "AI-friendly" slogans, knowing full well that the tools these creators use do not meet their hidden, impossible standards.
5. Violation of EU Consumer Rights
I requested a refund on February 20th, well within the legal 14-day withdrawal period for digital services in the EU. They refused, claiming the "service was utilized" simply because I logged in and uploaded a file. However, the core service—distribution to global platforms—was 0% delivered.
Conclusion:
Unchained Music collects fees from AI creators while knowingly providing an unusable service to that same group.
Creators: Do not waste your money here. They will take your fee and then hide behind their "Fairly Trained" policy to block your music and keep your money.
Unchained Music appears to be attempting to evade responsibility. The volume of negative reviews is indicative of a broader pattern. I ultimately secured a refund through my credit card provider.

I want to ask if you receive music from AI?

My initial experience with Unchained Music started off a bit rocky due to getting my releases denied because my track artworks needed to include text or some other elements.
I didn't like that, but I understand streaming platforms probably require this. Anyway, after an additional hiccup with getting my release getting falsely flagged as matching some other existing song (which was impossible, my music was completely original) I was asked to submit proof of ownership which I think is fair and was able to resolve the issue.
Even after encountering some of these things I decided to stick with them and give them a chance. I was able to get my Youtube OAC thanks to Unchained Music and I use them for all my releases from now on. Much better than Tunecore or DistroKid, and the fact that they're smaller/independent makes my support them more.

Another Platform who doesn't know how to deal with fake copyright infringement. Takes ages for them to upload content. Receives a false claim from a DSP and closes the account.
Well your reply isn't true. We did replied within 48hrs including the proper documents.

This falls within 48hrs. Despite that we even shared the documentation in that email. On Monday you decided to sent another email and terminate the agreement without even taking the time to look at our reply which was in 48hrs.
Beside that the Previous copyright owner replied as well to your support team and copied you in a email thread with the DSP where they took down the content from that company who claims they are the right holders. Upside down world, that a right holder gets a claim for his own content and this is the problem with the mainstream DSP, you all dont investigate anything, Just throw it back to the Distributor and when it gets complicated you shut down the door by closing the account.
For your next clients who will face such things make sure you follow up and reply on time before closing accounts.

I honestly love unchained music.
I am on the free option.
I do have some stuff that I worry about such as not feeling stable with them. I feel like there were a lot of changes this year on their policies which I ultimately respect but because I'm on the free option my account was in "jeopardy", I had to reapply to keep my free account, so I did and then I got an email saying that my reapplication has been denied and then a couple hours later I got an email saying that they have accepted my reapplication and I am worried that this will happen again in the future therefor causing me a sense of instability with them. which makes me want to stop using their services.
