both put a download gate in front of your track: fans follow, repost or like, then get the file.
the difference is price, who has to log in, and who owns your email list. here's an honest
side-by-side — beltergate is pre-launch and built by a soundcloud artist, so we're keeping this fair, not stacked.
beltergate
hypeddit
price
€3/month flat, 7-day free trial
free tier plus paid plans that scale up in price and features
fan unlock
one tap with soundcloud, or do the steps by hand with no login — your fans' choice
fans connect their soundcloud account to complete some gate actions
how actions are verified
every follow / repost / like happens on soundcloud and is verified, with an honor-system fallback if the api hiccups
verifies actions too; specifics vary by action and plan
your email list
every captured email is yours — export to csv anytime
collects emails; export and ownership depend on your plan
who makes it
one soundcloud artist (belterbox) running real live gates
established company with a broader, more complex feature set
free-gate badge
free gates show a small "made with beltergate" badge; €3 pro removes it
branding / badge behaviour varies by plan
hypeddit is a capable, established tool with more features. beltergate is the focused, cheaper,
one-tap version for producers who want a simple gate, a list they own, and a €3 price they
can actually read.
