- What happens if I stop paying for my subscription?
- Think of your ORB subscription like a domain name for your music. A domain keeps your website live on the internet — without it, your site goes offline. Your ORB subscription works the same way: it keeps your songs live on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and 150+ other platforms. If you stop paying, your music gets taken down from streaming platforms, just like a website disappears when its domain expires. As long as your subscription is active, your music stays live and earning royalties worldwide. Real-life example: Imagine you release an EP with 5 tracks on the Artist plan. Those 5 tracks are live on Spotify, getting streams, landing on playlists, earning you royalties every month. If you cancel your subscription and don't renew, those tracks get pulled from every platform — your listeners can't find you anymore, playlist placements are lost, and your streaming momentum resets to zero. But as long as you keep your plan active, your entire catalog stays live, keeps growing, and keeps earning. Your subscription is the engine that powers your music's presence worldwide.
