Investing in music isn’t new; what’s always been missing is access. For decades, this market stayed in the hands of those already in the game: record labels, publishers, catalog managers, and specialized funds. The result? A great asset with recurring revenue in a growing, billion-dollar industry and low correlation with the broader market—yet with high barriers to entry. We created MZIC to change that. Since 2022, we have originated and structured investment opportunities backed by music rights, enabling investors of all sizes to invest in music easily and securely, within a best-in-class framework. We believe in music’s potential as an asset class and that it will gain significant space in global portfolios over the next 20 years, fueling a new wave of industry growth with more opportunity and decentralization. For those who invest with MZIC: unique, ahead-of-the-curve assets. For artists, songwriters, publishers, and labels: alternative capital to power careers. Music gains market. The market gains music. And you gain a new way to invest. Download the app and invest now!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MZIC at none against n's 1. MZIC also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). n's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
