YouTube Content ID finds your music in videos other people upload to YouTube. When it finds a match, it claims the video, and the earnings go into your balance.
What it costs
Content ID is included on the Artist Pro and Label plans. You get it as soon as you subscribe. On other plans, it costs $19.99 a year for your whole account.
You keep a different share of Content ID earnings than of your store royalties: 50% on the Free plan and 80% on paid plans.
