LANDR Pricing: Only the Top Plan Is Truly Unlimited

LANDR sells “unlimited AI mastering” and that is true in the same way an all-you-can-eat buffet is unlimited if you only want the bread. On the entry plan, unlimited means unlimited MP3s. There is no WAV master on it at all.

That one line changes which plan you need, so it is worth going through the tiers properly.

The plans, as published

Read on 8 November 2026. LANDR showed us euros.

The mastering column is the whole story. Everything else scales the way you would expect, and the format of the file you get out does not.

An MP3 is lossy. It is fine for a reference, a demo, a rough upload to share with a collaborator. It is not the file you keep as your master. So on Essentials you are paying €12 a month for an unlimited supply of files you would not archive, and on Standard you are paying €18 for three real ones.

The thing most people are buying a mastering subscription for is capped on every tier except the most expensive one.

What a releasable master actually costs

Taking the monthly list prices and dividing by the number of WAV masters you can actually get:

Standard works out at €6.00 per WAV master if you use all three. Pro is already cheaper per master at four, and Standard physically cannot reach four. So the decision is not “is Pro worth the extra €5” but “do I need a fourth lossless master this month”. If yes, there is one plan.

If you master one or two tracks a month, Standard is the right call and the €6 each is reasonable for what it is. If you are working through an album, Pro pays for itself almost immediately.

The yearly prices need a second look

When we checked, a Black Friday sale was running, which makes the yearly column harder to read than it should be.

Two things worth noticing before the sale ends.

The “7 months free” style badges compare the yearly rate to the monthly rate, not to the yearly list price. They move when the sale moves.

And the list yearly prices are not consistent between tiers. Standard’s €10.83 a month billed yearly is a genuine discount against its €18 monthly. Pro’s €22.50 sits a whisker under its €23 monthly, which at list price is a rounding error rather than a reason to commit for a year. During a sale that reverses completely. Outside one, check which tier you are actually on before paying twelve months up front.

Yearly sample credits match twelve months of the monthly allowance exactly, at 1,200, 1,800 and 2,400. No hidden bonus there in either direction.

What we are not telling you

We have not compared this to what a human mastering engineer charges. We could not find a primary, current rate card we were willing to quote, and inventing a “typical” figure to make a comparison look rigorous is exactly the thing this site exists not to do. That comparison is on the list for when we can source it properly.

We have also not assessed how LANDR’s masters sound. We do not run listening tests. For that judgement, find someone who does and who says what they listened on.

Who should buy what

One or two tracks a month, and you want lossless. Studio Standard. Three WAV masters is enough and €6 a master is fair.

An album, an EP, or any month with four or more tracks. Studio Pro. The cap on Standard decides this for you long before the price does.

You only need references and demo uploads. Essentials, and know that you are buying MP3s. If a lossless file ever becomes necessary, the plan you are on does not produce one.

You are mostly after the plugins and sample credits. Price those separately before subscribing. The plugin bundles are quoted at large notional values, and a “€2,000 value” bundle is worth what you would otherwise have spent, which for most people is not €2,000.

Prices read 8 November 2026, during a sale. We re-check this page about every 30 days and change the date at the top when we do. If a figure has moved, tell us.
