hypeddit alternative
beltergate vs hypeddit
both put a download gate in front of your track: fans follow, repost or like, then get the file. since june 2026 the soundcloud steps on hypeddit gates are optional, so the real difference now is whether those steps are part of the download. plus price, and who owns your email list. here's an honest side-by-side, or read what changed at hypeddit.
