Why do advanced tiers cost money? Several tools at Mixer and Architect tier require access to paid API tiers from WhoSampled, Discogs, AllMusic, and other data partners. Your subscription covers these costs directly — and keeps the Rookie and Selector tiers genuinely free. Mixer tier also auto-unlocks at Selector Level 15 through play alone: subscription is optional early access.
