The short answer

Choose PUSH.fm when your main requirement is the lowest published price for unlimited Smart Links and pre-saves. Its official pricing page currently lists a $0 Basic plan with unlimited Smart Links and pre-saves, plus a $5-per-month Premium plan. Amplune does not claim to be cheaper for that narrow job.

Choose Amplune when you want the link to sit inside a broader artist release workspace. Amplune connects a public artist page, released-music SmartLinks, release planning, channel attribution, fan capture, playlist concepts and campaign preparation. The Free plan starts that workflow; Launch costs €7.99 per month excluding VAT and Growth costs €19.99 per month excluding VAT.

Currency, tax and product scope differ, so the lowest number is not automatically the lowest total cost for a complete release workflow.

Where PUSH.fm is the stronger choice

PUSH.fm is the clear price leader when an artist mainly needs a large number of Smart Links or pre-save campaigns. Unlimited links and pre-saves on a free plan are difficult to beat, and the $5 Premium plan adds Meta Pixel integration, custom backgrounds, audience export and 50GB of storage according to its official pricing page.

Artists who already manage release planning, campaign notes and reporting elsewhere may not need a broader workspace. In that situation, paying more for connected workflow features would not automatically create more value.

Where Amplune provides more connected value

Amplune is built around the artist and release rather than around link volume. The public destination, Spotify catalogue, release plan, traffic sources, listening clicks, fan signups and playlist concept remain connected in one workspace. That reduces the spreadsheet and dashboard handoffs surrounding each campaign.

Growth extends the same record into artist-owned Meta campaign preparation and influencer-opportunity advertising. Those tools are controlled beta features, not guaranteed growth products: artists approve publication and spending, advertising spend remains separate, and playlist consideration is never sold.

Which one should an independent artist choose?

Choose PUSH.fm if unlimited free links or pre-saves are the deciding requirement. Choose Amplune if the larger problem is coordinating the artist page, released music, campaign preparation and learning in one place. An artist may also use PUSH.fm for a pre-save while using Amplune as the wider release workspace; the products do not have to be treated as mutually exclusive.

Test either product with one real release. Compare mobile page quality, time saved, ownership of fan data, reporting clarity, support and the number of external tools still required. The best-value option is the one that solves the full job you actually have—not the one with the longest feature list or the cheapest isolated feature.

Affordable by design · shaped by artists

The affordable, artist-first alternative

Amplune was started by independent artists who wanted solid release tools without paying for several disconnected platforms. You can start with a free artist workspace, then add campaign-ready SmartLink controls with Launch at €7.99 per month excluding VAT. Growth is €19.99 per month excluding VAT for the broader connected workflow.

Artist feedback goes directly into the product roadmap. The team reviews recurring needs, tests focused improvements and can ship useful changes quickly—while protecting reliability, privacy and artist control. The goal is not to charge more for complexity; it is to build the practical platform independent artists actually need.
