Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I switch from Sentric without losing royalty registrations?

Yes. You retain 100% of your copyright with Sentric. Give 28-day notice via email, and Sentric will de-register its representation at collection societies. You can then register with a new administrator like Dynamoi.

How much does Sentric’s 20% commission actually cost me?

Sentric takes a 20% commission on all royalties it administers (80/20 split). At $10,000/year in publishing revenue, that’s $2,000/year going to Sentric. Dynamoi’s publishing administration is completely free with 0% commission.

How does Sentric’s sync licensing compare to Dynamoi?

Sentric’s sync pitching is a genuine strength. They’ve placed music in John Wick 4, Barbie, EA Sports FC 24, and major brand ads. Dynamoi does not offer sync licensing. If sync is your top priority, Sentric is the better choice for that specific need.

How long does it take to transfer publishing from Sentric?

Publishing admin transfers typically take 8–10 months for collection societies to process worldwide. During the transition, royalties continue to be collected — there’s no gap in coverage.

How often does Sentric pay royalties?

Sentric issues statements quarterly (January, April, July, October) with a £40 minimum payment threshold. If you’re below the threshold, your balance rolls over to the next quarter.

Can Dynamoi replace both my distributor and Sentric?

Yes. Dynamoi combines distribution (150+ stores, 10% commission) with free publishing administration. You no longer need separate services for distribution and publishing — plus you get managed ad campaigns on Meta, YouTube, and TikTok.

How does Dynamoi pricing work?

Dynamoi has two products. Distribution is free with a 10% commission, no upfront fees, and Content ID included. Managed advertising starts with Starter at $25/month, $50 launch campaign credit, and daily campaign-spend billing as campaigns run across Meta, YouTube, and TikTok.

Is Sentric worth it if I already have a distributor?

Sentric is a publishing administrator. They do not distribute your recordings to streaming platforms. You need a separate distributor (like Dynamoi) for that. Dynamoi bundles distribution and publishing together.

What’s the difference between Sentric and Songtrust?

Both are publishing administrators. Songtrust charges a one-time $100 fee plus an admin percentage and requires a one-year minimum term. Sentric charges 20% with a 28-day rolling contract. Dynamoi charges 0% for publishing — free for distribution clients.

What is YouTube Revenue Fusion?

YouTube Revenue Fusion connects your YouTube ad campaign performance with actual AdSense revenue data, showing you exactly how much revenue each country generates relative to your ad spend. It turns YouTube from a guessing game into measurable ROI.

Who Should Stay on Sentric

Sentric is still the better choice if you are:

  • Actively pursuing sync placements in film, TV, ads, or games
  • Under 10,000 monthly Spotify listeners and not ready for distribution
  • Looking for neighbouring rights collection without a distributor

Sentric’s sync pitching is genuinely valuable — placements in John Wick 4 and EA Sports speak for themselves. If sync is your top priority, Sentric deserves serious consideration. Dynamoi is for when zero-commission publishing and managed growth matter more.
