Genres with only a few tracks on sale are left out: with so few listings, a typical price would be a guess. The median is the middle price, so one unusually expensive track does not skew it the way an average would.

What the price includes

The price covers the whole package, not only the audio. For an exclusive purchase that means:

Some listings also include the project file, and where one does it is marked on the track. The full list is in the buyer's guide.

What other sources report

Ghost production prices depend heavily on who you buy from and what you are buying. Music Gateway's guide to ghost producing, last updated in July 2025, sets per-track rates in four bands:

LevelPer trackWhat it describes
Entry level$100 to $200Music for adverts and small projects, usually made to a client's request
Mid-range$200 to $450"The usual earnings for selling pre-produced tracks on ghost platforms"
Professional$450 to $1,000Producers with a history of label releases, including custom-made songs
Established artists$1,000 to $10,000+Producing for established artists

These are another publisher's figures, not ours, and rates change. Use them as a rough guide to the market. A ready-made exclusive track you can hear before paying is a different product from a song written to your brief, so compare the first with the mid-range band and the second with the bands above it.

Ready-made or made to order

A ready-made track is finished and listed, so you hear exactly what you are buying. A track made to order is written to your brief, which takes more of the producer's time and is priced accordingly. Producers on Ghost Producer World take custom work too, so you can hire a ghost producer for an original track. Starting prices today: Personal Track from $400, Mix/Master from $150, Co-Production from $300 and Remix from $500. Browse the services to see who offers what.

Why prices differ

Paying less than the list price

If a track is above your budget, send the producer an offer. They can accept it, decline it or come back with a different number. Offers only open a set period after a track is listed, and each producer chooses whether to take them, so if a track shows no offer option, the listed price is the price. The buyer's guide explains how offers work.
