ROYALTY COLLECTION

Click Here to Contact Ben About Collecting Your Royalties!

Your P.R.O. is only half the story…

Registering with ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, or another PRO only gets you paid for performance royalties. But what about the rest—like streaming mechanicals and YouTube usage royalties?

That’s where Counterpart comes in. We help you claim the other half of your royalties—across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and many key international markets.

What we do

We take a hands-on approach to get you the royalties already sitting out there, uncollected. Here’s how:

We review your existing catalog and register your songs across major royalty sources.
We search public song databases to catch songs you may have forgotten—or never knew—you needed to register.
We work with collection societies to collect from the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and more.
We collect royalties for YouTube user-generated content—something not available unless you work with a publishing administrator like us.

You keep your copyrights and creative control. We just help make sure you’re getting paid for your work.

Why Counterpart?

Not all publishing administrators are created equal.

Many companies tack on admin services as a side offering, built for scale, not care. At Counterpart, royalty collection is our core focus—not a footnote. You’ll never be left to navigate registrations or fix broken metadata on your own.

Designed for Songwriters Who Deserve Better

We’ve recovered royalties that bigger admins completely missed—because we look where others don’t. If your catalog has gaps, metadata issues, or unclaimed money, you’ll benefit from a partner who handles the details personally.

When you email, call, or text—you’re talking to Ben, the founder. No ticket numbers. No canned replies.

Fair, Transparent, Flexible

Monthly payouts (not quarterly like others)
1-year term (no auto-renew traps)
You keep 100% of your rights

Counterpart is for artists who care about their royalties—and want a partner who does, too.
