Alternatives to CD Baby
Other Music rights and royalties vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that CD Baby does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 18 that differ from CD Baby on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
CD Baby has 11 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Public pricing, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and CD Baby does not” is the one that closes them.
