The core differences: Deliver My Tune starts around \u20b91,999 per release for individual artists (\u20b95,999 for labels) with royalty rates going up to about 85% on premium plans, 100+ platforms, plus add-on services like AI mastering and social media management. The Black Turn charges \u20b9599 (\u20b9799 with caller tune) one-time per song, pays 95% royalty, delivers to 150+ platforms, and includes caller tune on all four networks plus free Content ID. Choose Deliver My Tune if you want bundled production and marketing services; choose The Black Turn if you want maximum reach and royalty per rupee spent.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is the short version.
