      What's the Difference Between Songtrust and Sentric Publishing?

      Sync rights, for starters.

      Songtrust is a global publishing administrator that collects several kinds of royalties (performance, mechanical, and YouTube composition). We also offer a suite of advanced tools for handling your publishing catalog, including a real time royalties dashboard that is not offered through Sentric. 

      Sentric is a UK-based publishing administrator that collects similar performance, mechanical, and YouTube composition royalties. It also takes non-exclusive sync rights in its agreements. 

      We require no sync rights; you are free to procure as many placements as you like, and keep 100% of any upfront fees you negotiate. Not to mention take advantage of our low admin fee and large global collections network — the industry’s biggest.
