Jaxsta reverts to a paid model with the launch of Jaxsta Plus

By Emmanuel Legrand

Jaxsta, the Australia-based dedicated database of official music credits, has reverted to a pay model for its Premium service, after the decision from the platform to make its Jaxsta Pro version available for free since April 2020 in response to the Covid pandemic.

  Jaxsta Pro will now be available through two version: a freemium version, Jaxsta Core; or a paid version, Jaxsta Plus. Jaxsta Plus is offering "an extensive and evolving suite of new features designed to empower music creatives and those who represent them."  

  “We are thrilled to have the new structure of Jaxsta Pro ready and to move back to a paid model," said Jaxsta CEO and Co-Founder Jacqui Louez Schoorl (pictured, above). "Many users and advocates of Jaxsta have provided feedback on the use and value they receive from the platform, and this initial rollout will address a number of their requests."

A new range of features

  Louez Schoorl added that Jaxsta's team has been working on "a new range of incredible features which will be coming to our Jaxsta Plus service in the months to come."

  Jaxsta Plus features include: 

  > Claim Your Jaxsta Profile, or the profiles of the artists represented by the holder of the account, with the possibility to update the bio, image, social links and contact details. 

  > Prioritise Your Credits: allows to highlight the releases the holder of the account wants to be known for, and move others to the back of the profile page. 

  > Credit Alerts: a tool that notifies users by email every time a song they’ve worked on is released. 

  > Chart Alerts: a tool that notifies users by email every time a release they’ve worked on hits the charts. 

  > Jaxsta’s Events and Markets directory, providing territory-specific industry information from the world’s Top 20 music markets. 

  > Global Charts covering over 70 territories from Spotify, Apple, Shazam and other leading chart suppliers all in one place. 

  Jaxsta also offers the possibility to lodge Neighboring Rights claims via a partnership with Songtradr. 

  Jaxsta Plus will be available for the introductory offer of US$49 per year, or US$9.99 per month, with the offer of a free 14-day trial. Jaxsta Core, the freemium version of Jaxsta Pro, is already used by the existing 100,000+ Jaxsta Pro members that have automatically been migrated to the new service. 

  Jaxsta claims that its data solution system is now processing more than 240,000 new credits per day from the its list of official music industry data partners. At the moment, Jaxsta offers over 160 million official music credits from more than 1.2 million worldwide record labels, sourced directly from 291 data partners including publishers, royalty agencies and industry associations across the globe.
