MBX Artists combines release smart links and fan capture with MBX Flow’s publishing tools. Consider it as a Feature.fm alternative when you want to manage both the music destination and the social campaign that brings listeners to it. Feature.fm specializes in music marketing, including pre-saves, so those release requirements deserve a close look.

Promote the music. Publish the posts.
Feature.fm’s reviewed plan matrix covers music links, pre-saves, fan data and integrations; it does not establish a general multi-network post queue. Its scheduled links control when a landing page goes live. MBX Artists includes a social publishing queue through MBX Flow, so you can plan the announcements around the page as part of the artist workflow.
A schedule that brings them there
The artist plans include MBX Flow’s queue and scheduler. Pro adds Smart Revival, Evergreen Library, Twitch Live Alerts, YouTube Auto Promotion, RSS and WordPress workflows.
Explore MBX Flow publishing →Publishing destinations include Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bluesky, Mastodon, Discord and Telegram. Availability depends on the network, account type, connection setup and content format. Check the complete network list and setup requirements and current account allowances and X Credits.
From Pro, you can also use Claude, ChatGPT and connected apps to work with your MBX Flow queue. Music-service links on a release page and social publishing destinations are different capabilities.
MBX Artists vs Feature.fm
Separate the weeks before release from the weeks after it. A pre-save requests a future action in a listening service; a released-track link sends a listener to music already available. Then there is the schedule of posts that promotes either page. Build your checklist around all three instead of treating them as interchangeable features.

| Before release day | Pre-save services include Spotify, Apple Music and others; Future Save is listed on Artist and Pro Artist. [1] | Release smart links are documented. Do not assume equivalent pre-save or Future Save behavior without checking your exact campaign. |
| Publishing the campaign | Scheduled links set a landing page’s launch time. The reviewed matrix does not establish a general social post scheduler. [1] | The artist plans include MBX Flow’s queue, scheduler and publishing to connected, supported social and community destinations. |
| Fan data and integrations | Email access and analytics history vary by tier. Pro Artist lists Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign syncing. [1] | Fan-list export with recorded consent, plus plan-based fan email allowances. Check integrations separately from list ownership. |
| Plan structure | Free, Basic Artist, Artist and Pro Artist. Limits include available services, email access, analytics history and retargeting pixels. [1] | Starter, Pro and Studio combine music tools with social publishing. MBX Manager Artists starts with two artist seats; Enterprise is custom. See current pricing and account allowances. |
Plans, integrations and availability can change. Compare the current terms for the exact campaign you want to run. A feature not established by a source is not a claim that it cannot exist.
Why consider MBX Artists?
Keep working after the link goes live
A release page is the start of the campaign. Use MBX Flow to prepare an announcement, a lyric story and a follow-up post for the connected networks you use. The artist plans include the music tools and the publishing queue together.
See music and publishing in the artist plans →Give each listener a next step
Your artist card can introduce the project, show releases and list upcoming shows. A download gate can invite a more committed listener to join your fan list. Choose the destination for the message instead of sending every post to the same generic page.
Explore artist cards, releases and gates →Make room for the back catalog
Pro’s Smart Revival and Evergreen Library support an ongoing publishing routine. A new listener discovering you this month may never have seen last year’s single; prepare a useful reason to revisit it alongside the new release.
Explore recurring publishing features →Who is MBX Artists for?
Artists and small teams who want music destinations, fan capture and day-to-day social distribution together. Teams built around advanced pre-save actions should verify those requirements first and may keep a specialized pre-save tool for that part of a campaign.

Switching from Feature.fm
- List active pre-saves, release dates and the services fans authorized. Keep those campaigns working until their promised actions are fulfilled.
- Save the reports and permitted fan-data exports you need. Recreate a released track in MBX Artists and verify every streaming destination and tracking setting.
- Schedule the supporting social posts in MBX Flow, then update profile links and new promotional materials. Keep old links available wherever an existing campaign still uses them.
Start with one release and a short social schedule. Expand after the pages, fan actions and connected-account posts work as intended.

Why consider MBX Artists as a Feature.fm alternative?
It brings release pages and fan capture together with MBX Flow’s social publishing. That can suit artists who want to manage both the destination and the posts promoting it.
Is a scheduled smart link the same as a scheduled social post?
No. One controls when a landing page becomes available; the other publishes content to a connected social account. Evaluate both parts of your release plan.
Can I move existing pre-save permissions to MBX Artists?
This comparison does not promise permission transfer or equivalent pre-save behavior. Keep active promises to fans intact and verify the required services before changing the campaign.
Can I export the fans collected in MBX Artists?
Yes. The documented fan list supports CSV export and keeps the recorded consent wording and date. Email sending allowances depend on the plan.
