Transparency alternatives to Sound Exchange
Other Music rights and royalties vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Sound Exchange. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 25 that differ from Sound Exchange on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Sound Exchange has 12 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, 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 “Found there, not found at Sound Exchange” is the one that closes them.
