Platform graduates from successful pilot with more than 1,500 accounts, 185,000 plays delivered, a 44% average clickthrough rate on artist profiles, and a 33% free-to-paid conversion rate
New $25/month Airplay subscription and $5/month Visibility tier go live in early July
BOULDER, Colo., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Auddia Inc. (NASDAQ: AUUD) ("Auddia" or the "Company"), an AI first technology company that has built a proprietary AI platform for audio identification and classification to reinvent how consumers engage with audio and how artists get discovered, today announced that its Discovr Radio artist promotion platform has formally exited its successful pilot phase and will transition to a monthly recurring subscription model, with new tiered pricing rolling out to customers in early July.
The move to monthly recurring revenue marks the next phase of Discovr Radio's commercial execution, transitioning the platform from validating customer demand during the pilot to scaling a repeatable subscription business. .
The transition follows a pilot period that exceeded internal benchmarks across artist acquisition, listener engagement, and monetization. These results validated the platform's AI-driven artist promotion model and the move to a sustainable recurring revenue structure. The 44% average clickthrough rate significantly exceeded typical digital audio benchmarks, highlighting the strength of listener engagement generated by Discovr Radio. Key pilot performance metrics include:
More than 1,500 artist and label accounts created on the platform
Over 185,000 plays delivered to listeners through the AI Placement Engine
44% average clickthrough rate maintained on artist profile pages, multiples of typical digital audio benchmarks
33% conversion rate from free to paid customer on the platform, up from 30% earlier in the pilot.
New Monthly Subscription Model
The Discovr Radio monthly subscription model launches with two tiers designed to move artists through a clear promotion funnel. Visibility provides an entry point for artists seeking discovery inside faidr, while Airplay delivers full radio exposure through AI-driven placement into AM/FM streaming feeds. Both tiers will be available to customers in early July.
Airplay — $25/month: The flagship Discovr Radio subscription for artists and labels ready for full radio exposure. Subscribers gain access to AI-driven placement into AM/FM streaming feeds, guaranteed plays, and the full Artist Portal, including detailed performance analytics, listener engagement insights, and campaign-level reporting such as total and partial plays, skips, likes and dislikes, listens by location and station, and cost-per-play.
Visibility — $5/month: The entry-level plan for artists who are not yet ready for FM airplay. Visibility allows songs to be hosted on faidr and made playable for users who browse artists inside the app, giving emerging artists a low-cost path to discovery and a natural upgrade path to Airplay when they are ready for broader radio exposure.
