StagePanel vs Linkfire
StagePanel is for a solo DJ or producer who wants release pages and an artist site generated from Spotify, release-day emails sent in their own name and one flat price per artist. Linkfire is the stronger choice for teams and labels that need several artist workspaces, retargeting pixels and deep link tooling.
Where StagePanel is ahead
- Your artist site and release pages build themselves from your Spotify artist profile, with the same track found on Apple Music, Beatport, SoundCloud, Deezer and TIDAL. There is no link to set up per release (Spotify sync is on Automate).
- Release-day emails reach the fans who signed up, sent as "Your name via StagePanel" with replies that can go to your own address, so fans see your name rather than a platform they have never heard of.
- Your artist site and release pages live on your-name.stagepanel.app on every plan, free included, and fans unlock your download gates on that same address.
- One flat price per artist: Automate €14/month, Insights €24/month. Every new account starts with 7 days of Automate, no card, and Starter stays free afterwards.
- Twitch chat commands are added for all your releases automatically (Automate).
- Page visits, stream clicks and fans waiting for a release sit in one dashboard; radio plays and chart entries join them on Insights.
- The app and database run on servers in Germany and file storage is in Sweden. The privacy policy lists every processor.
