Use tool ↗About Orphiq
Orphiq is artist-management software built around a single release timeline — rollout dates, tasks, collaborators and promo content in one workspace instead of scattered group chats and note apps. Its assistant, Apollo, is briefed on a specific artist's profile, so it suggests content, drafts release strategy and answers analytics questions in plain language rather than giving generic advice. There are two plan ladders: one for artists, one for industry professionals such as managers and labels who need edit access across several artist workspaces. Orphiq, Inc. was founded by JC Sanchez, previously a marketing manager at Sony Music and a partner manager at Meta and Spotify.

Pros & cons of Orphiq
Most music-marketing tools sell you distribution or playlist pitching; Orphiq sells the coordination layer around a release — the timeline, the tasks, the content calendar — with an assistant that has been given the artist's context. The founder's label and streaming background shows in how the workspaces are split between artists and the managers who work across several of them. The catch is that $37/month buys planning and advice, not reach.
Pros
- One release timeline that collaborators, including view-only ones on the free tier, can work from
- The assistant is conditioned on the artist profile, so suggestions are specific rather than boilerplate
- Analytics can be queried in plain language, and the assistant handles a wide range of languages
- Separate pricing for industry professionals mapped to how many artist workspaces they need to edit
Cons
- No distribution, release delivery or ad spend — it plans the campaign, it does not run it
- The step from DIY at $37 to Pro at $97 is mostly about extra seats, which is steep for a duo
- Web only, no API, no mobile app
- Young product from a 2025 startup with a short track record
Best for
- Independent artists juggling a release across group chats and note apps
- Managers who run several artists and need edit access per workspace
- Small teams that want one agreed rollout timeline instead of five versions
Not for
- Artists looking for distribution, playlist pitching or ad buying
- Anyone who wants hard attribution on what the promotion actually did
Watch out: The Star and Executive tiers are $397/month — cheap for a label, a lot for the independent artists the marketing targets.
