When you need more than a smart link

A smart link gets a fan to your music. It doesn't find new fans, and it doesn't keep the ones you have.

Found Sound gives you smart links plus the rest of the job: Meta campaigns for streams or ticket sales on your own ad account, a fan list you can email, and an AI Coach that reads your numbers and tells you what to do next.

Why artists choose Found Sound

  • Run Meta campaigns for streams or ticket sales from the same place as your links, on your own ad account.
  • Link taps go to Meta as conversion events, so your ads optimise for people who actually open your music.
  • Email your fans from Found Sound, 5,000 emails a month included. No separate email tool.
  • An AI Coach that reads your numbers and proposes what to do next, for you to approve.

When a smart-link tool might suit you better

  • Pre-saves (Feature.fm), which Found Sound doesn't offer.
  • Cheaper if a smart link is all you need.
  • Rosters: Linkfire's Teams plan has up to five artist workspaces.

Which should you choose?

If you only need smart links and pre-saves, and you run ads and email elsewhere, a link tool is enough.

If you want the links, the ads, the fan list and the advice in one place, that's what Found Sound is for.

Questions

Does Found Sound do pre-saves?

No. If pre-saves are central to your release plan, Feature.fm does them and Found Sound doesn't.

Can Feature.fm or Linkfire run my Meta ads?

Neither lists ad campaigns on its pricing page. Both list retargeting pixels, which send link data to ad platforms so you can run and target ads yourself.

I already use a smart-link tool. Do I need both?

No. Found Sound includes smart links, so you can use it instead. If you want to keep pre-saves on Feature.fm, you can use both.
