In this lesson you will learn: What lives under Services vs day-to-day distribution. Plans, billing, and optional add-ons in one mental model. When to use partner services vs your own network.
**Services** in the app is where **plan**, **billing**, and **optional help** meet: what’s included on your **subscription**, what **add-ons** cost, and any **partner** or professional paths LUCY surfaces—so you read **one** place instead of guessing from blog posts.
**Plan** — what’s included (stores, support tier, **Studio Access** on qualifying tiers—see **lucysounds.com/pricing**, Academy access where bundled, etc.)—check the **in-app** pricing and feature list for **your** market.. **Add-ons** — extra capacity or features that appear on your invoice; read before you toggle.. **Partner / professional** — mastering, pitch, sync, or marketing—treat each as a **scoped engagement** with deliverables and timelines.
Your **catalog** and **royalties** remain the operational core—Services should **accelerate** work, not replace account ownership.. When something breaks, **support** is separate from **marketing or partner services**—route tickets with IDs and dates.
Music SaaS stacks often bundle **distribution** + **education** + **services**; compare **total cost** and **exit** terms, not sticker price alone.. Third-party creatives (mastering houses, PR) should still be hired with **contracts**—platform introductions are not substitutes for scope.
