What counts as a zone? One independent audio environment. A cafe with one speaker setup is 1 zone. A hotel with separate music in the lobby, restaurant, bar, spa, and pool is 5 zones. You only pay for the zones you actively use.
Everything you need to put curated, fully licensed music in a single space.
Single-zone businesses, cafes, boutiques, salons, that want professional curation without the complexity.
Smart scheduling, dedicated support, and the controls multi-zone operators need to scale.
Multi-zone properties, restaurants, hotels, retail, offices, that need dayparting, manager controls, and priority support.
Bespoke curation, fleet-wide control, in-store messaging, and the team to run it all alongside you.
10+ locations, brand-driven portfolios, and any operator who needs custom scenes, audio ads, or sonic-branding consultation.
Everything in every plan.
Side-by-side across Basic, Pro, and Enterprise, including which deployment options work where (spoiler: all of them, everywhere).
When the sound fits, operators stick around.
Five ways to deploy.
Once you've picked your plan, choose the setup that fits your space. All five included, at no extra cost, mix-and-match across zones.
Pricing questions buyers actually ask.
From zone math to plan switches to deployment choice, here's what operators want to know before they sign up.
How does Curator Now pricing work?+
Three plans, Basic at $35/zone/month, Pro at $50/zone/month, and Enterprise with custom pricing for 10+ locations or bespoke needs. Pricing is per zone, per month, billed monthly or annually (save 10% on annual). All plans include full music licensing for the United States and Canada.
What counts as a zone?+
A zone is one independent audio environment, one playlist running at one time. A small cafe with one set of speakers is one zone. A hotel with separate music in the lobby, restaurant, bar, spa, and pool deck is five zones. You only pay for the zones you actively use.
Does the price change based on how I deploy Curator?+
No. Every plan includes browser playback, Sonos control, Q-SYS plugin access, and Epicentre player support at no extra cost. Pick the plan that fits your feature needs, then use whichever setup fits your space, they're independent decisions.
Do all plans include commercial music licensing?+
Yes. Every plan includes full ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR performance licensing for the United States and Canada. You're covered from day one with zero paperwork. Consumer streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are not licensed for commercial use.
Is there a free trial?+
Yes. Basic and Pro both include a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, cancel anytime. Enterprise deployments start with a guided demo and a custom proposal rather than a trial, given the scope of bespoke curation and multi-location rollout work.
Can I switch plans later?+
Yes. Move between Basic, Pro, and Enterprise anytime. Your scenes, schedules, brand settings, and zone configurations carry over. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at your next billing cycle.
Do you offer multi-location discounts?+
Yes. Multi-location operators get volume pricing on Pro and Enterprise. The exact discount depends on your zone count and contract length. We work with portfolios from 5 locations up to global rollouts across 63 countries, get in touch for a tailored quote.
Which deployment option should I choose?+
Browser is the default and works for most spaces, no hardware required, just open a tab. Sonos is for properties already running Sonos systems. Q-SYS is for enterprise AV deployments with existing Q-SYS infrastructure. Marshall is for spaces that want iconic speakers with Curator Now built in. Epicentre is Activaire's plug-and-play media player for zero-config setups. All five are included with every plan, and you can mix and match across zones.
