Type a name. We read every credit we can find, flag the songs to check, look for you on the societies' unclaimed-money lists, and size what is at stake — in a minute, for free.
Writers, producers, mixers and players on your releases — and on other artists' tracks where you are credited.
Songs with no registered composition, writers nobody documented, recordings without an ISRC.
Societies publish the songs they collected for but could not pay. We check your name, titles and ISRCs against them.
What you should receive each semester, what your concerts should pay, and what may be at risk — with the method spelled out.
Some societies publish the songs, recordings and artists they hold money for but could not identify. We load those lists and check every profile against them.
Works, recordings or rightsholders each society collected money for but could not pay, counted as the society publishes them and refreshed weekly.
Every year, part of what societies and streaming services collect can't be matched to the people who earned it. These figures come straight from their own reports — and show where that money ends up.
In February 2021 US streaming services transferred the royalties they had never matched to a songwriter. Apple Music and Spotify account for three quarters of it.
The MLC — historical unmatched royalties ↗
* Sum of the 16 smaller services, computed from the MLC's own totals.
The MLC has matched about $317M and paid out about $239M. No unmatched money has yet been shared out by market share — the first such payout starts in April 2027 with 2021 usage.

The MLC — market share distribution ↗
* Derived from the MLC's rounded statements (“over $317M matched”, “nearly $239M distributed”).
PRS was holding about £69M that it had matched but not paid. Missing bank details and missing ownership information are reasons a songwriter can fix.
At the end of 2024 PPL still held £23.3M collected in 2018–2023 that it could not allocate to a performer or producer — the newest years the most.
After the claim window, European societies move unclaimed money into social and cultural funds, their own budgets, or other members' payouts — not back to the creator who earned it.

In the US, unmatched streaming royalties the MLC still holds will be shared among everyone else in proportion to their existing share of usage — the first payout starts in April 2027. The biggest catalogues get the biggest absolute cut of money they did not earn.
PRS redistributes unmatched online money pro rata to the repertoire it could identify; Buma shares it among rightsholders of the same usage years. Your share goes to whoever was registered.
EU law lets societies treat money as non-distributable after 3 years; their members decide its use. SIAE and GEMA fund social and cultural programmes; SACEM's statutes say royalties unclaimed for 5 years are acquired by the society.
The rules differ, but none of these routes pays the creator who earned the money. The only way to get it is to be registered — and to claim in time.
Type a stage name, a real name or a producer. Pick the right one — we match it across public music databases.
Every song gets a status: documented, to check, or not found. Producers see the tracks they are credited on.
Every discrepancy and how to fix it, free. Want it done for you? We recover it as your publisher, on commission.
Artists, managers and labels: we audit every song across societies, fix the registrations and claim the money — commission only on what comes back.
