Base for Music vs NotNoise at a Glance
Why Base for Music Costs More Than You Think
Base for Music markets itself as an accessible ads platform, but the fee structure means you're paying twice: once for the subscription, and again through a percentage cut of every dollar you spend on ads.
Double-Dipping: Subscription + Commission
Base for Music's free tier takes 30% of your ad budget. Their paid plans charge a monthly subscription AND still take 25% of your spend. On a $500 campaign, that's $125-150 going to your platform instead of your music. NotNoise charges 10-20% with no hidden fees.
Ads-Only Platform, No Growth Stack
Base for Music runs Facebook and Instagram ads. That's it. No smart links, no playlist pitching, no email capture, no AI video creation. You need 3-4 other tools to do what NotNoise handles in one dashboard.
Campaign Cancellation Nightmares
Users report difficulty cancelling campaigns and unclear billing. Once your ad is running, you're locked in with limited control over pausing or adjusting. NotNoise gives you full campaign control with transparent billing.
No Cross-Platform Analytics
Base for Music shows you ad performance metrics, but nothing about your actual music career. No Spotify streams, no Apple Music data, no cross-platform insights. NotNoise connects 20+ platforms so you see the full picture of how your ads translate to real growth.

Artists Who Stopped Overpaying for Ads
Real stories from musicians who switched from Base for Music's high fees to NotNoise's complete marketing stack.
“I was spending $300/mo on Base for Music ads and they were taking $75-90 of that in fees. Switched to NotNoise and now I'm keeping an extra $30-60 per campaign. Plus I got smart links and playlist pitching that I was paying other tools for separately.”
Antoine D.
Independent Artist · Paris, France
Switched after 4 months on Base for Music
“Base for Music only runs ads. That's it. I still needed Linkfire for smart links, SubmitHub for pitching, and Chartmetric for analytics. NotNoise replaced all four tools for $9/mo total. The math was embarrassingly obvious.”

“I tried to cancel a campaign on Base for Music and it kept running for two more days, burning through my budget. NotNoise gives me full control — I can pause, adjust, or stop any campaign instantly. The transparency difference is night and day.”
