What Sleeve is
Sleeve combines an artist website, music releases, newsletters, fan management, memberships, and direct sales in one web platform. Artist pages support custom domains, a built-in release player, email collection, and a press kit. Artists can publish posts that also reach their email list and manage contacts with a fan CRM. Listening links can point to Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal, with the service identified from a pasted link. The Free plan costs nothing and allows up to 250 subscribers, including an artist page, link-in-bio, releases with a player, a press kit, and a custom domain. It excludes commerce, memberships, and advanced analytics. Pro costs $79 a month, billed $948 billed annually, and supports up to 25,000 subscribers. Sleeve states that sales have 0% platform fees, although standard Stripe processing fees apply. Its free Mac importer transfers Bandcamp releases, artwork, lossless masters, barcodes, and a mailing list locally. The platform also lists tour-date publishing, video embedding, and merchandise links.
