The best Bandcamp code tool for electronic producers (2026)
Full disclosure: we make one of these tools. GetMusic publishes this page, so we are biased. We have tried to earn your trust anyway by ranking by what fits you, saying plainly where a competitor is better, and putting GetMusic below it when it is.
If you make techno, house, or bass music, the question is rarely "which Bandcamp code tool" on its own. It is usually "my listeners are on SoundCloud, my sales are on Bandcamp, and I have a batch of download codes that need to go somewhere." Those are two different jobs, and most of the tools below only do one of them.
This page ranks the tools that hand out Bandcamp codes, then is plain about the two gate tools that do not touch Bandcamp codes at all but are the better buy if SoundCloud follows are what you are after. A lot of producers end up with one of each. That is not a failure of research; it is what the tools are shaped like.
Prices and limits below come from each tool's public pricing page as of October 2026. Check before you pay.
TL;DR
- GetMusic — first release free, $10 per release after — if you want the codes in front of fans browsing the electronic shelf and a list of who claimed
- Hypeddit — Rookie free after a Pro trial, Basic from $9/mo — if SoundCloud reposts and follows are the real goal and the download is an MP3 you host there
- PUSH.fm — free plan with unlimited Reward Links — the no-cost gate if you only need a follow-to-download and email capture
- Band.codes — free, unlimited — if you already have the audience and just need a link that serves codes
- Bandcamp's own tools — free, 200 codes to start — if your mailing list is the only place you plan to share
1. GetMusic
- Best for
- Producers who want the codes to reach people who were not already following them
- Price
- First release promotion free (up to 100 codes); $10 one time per additional release; no subscription
- Bandcamp codes?
- Yes. Distributes and tracks Bandcamp codes; does nothing for SoundCloud
Paste your Bandcamp release URL and GetMusic builds the release page from it: tracks, art, tags. Upload the codes and each one is checked against Bandcamp before a fan ever sees it. The release then sits on the electronic shelf and in the ranked feeds at /explore and /popular, where fans browse by genre and claim a code without making an account. Fans who follow the genre or follow you get told when the release goes up, and social posts for it are queued.
What you get back is a per-claim list: who claimed, when, and where they came from. For a producer trying to work out whether the Bandcamp side of their audience is growing, that list is the point. Band.codes gives you a count; Bandcamp gives you a count; this gives you names.
Where it loses: it is Bandcamp-only. It will not gate a SoundCloud follow, host a WAV, or make a smart link. If your release is a SoundCloud free download and Bandcamp is an afterthought, skip to the next pick.
2. Hypeddit
- Best for
- Producers whose listeners are on SoundCloud and who want follows, reposts, and likes in exchange for a download
- Price
- Rookie free plan (after a Pro trial, with Hypeddit branding); Basic from $9/mo; Pro from $13/mo; check their pricing page for annual rates
- Bandcamp codes?
- No. A Hypeddit gate unlocks a file Hypeddit hosts, not a Bandcamp code
For the SoundCloud side of your life, Hypeddit is better than anything else on this page, and it is not close. A download gate asks the fan to follow, like, comment, or repost on SoundCloud (or follow on Spotify), then unlocks an MP3 you uploaded. That is exactly the trade a lot of bass and techno producers want: the free download is the bait, the repost is the catch. Paid plans add email collection, and Pro adds fan analytics and ad tooling.
It is also not a Bandcamp code tool in any sense. It does not take your code CSV, does not track Bandcamp redemptions, and the people it reaches are the people you send to the gate plus whatever placement Hypeddit's own New Releases list gives paid accounts. If you want the Bandcamp release to find new buyers, this will not do it.
The honest setup for a lot of producers: a Hypeddit gate for the SoundCloud edit, a code tool for the Bandcamp release. Two tools, two audiences.
3. PUSH.fm
- Best for
- Producers who want a free follow-to-download gate and are fine with 1 GB of storage
- Price
- Free plan: unlimited smart links, pre-saves, and Reward Links; Premium $5/mo for 50 GB and email export
- Bandcamp codes?
- No. Reward Links unlock a file, a secret message, or a hidden URL, not a Bandcamp code
PUSH.fm, owned by RouteNote, gives you the gate mechanic for nothing. A Reward Link asks the fan to follow socials, share, or join your newsletter, then hands over a download, a message, or a hidden URL. The free plan has no cap on links and lets you see the emails you collected, which is more than Hypeddit's free tier offers.
There is a workaround people try: put a Bandcamp code in the "secret message" slot. It works in the narrow sense that a fan sees a code, but PUSH.fm has no idea what a Bandcamp code is. It cannot tell you which code was shown to whom, cannot validate the code, and will show the same message to everyone. Treat it as a gate, not a code tool.
Pick it over Hypeddit if the budget is zero and you do not need SoundCloud-specific actions like reposts. Pick Hypeddit if you do.
4. Band.codes
- Best for
- Producers with an existing following who need a free link that serves codes, forever
- Price
- Free, unlimited releases, donation-supported
- Bandcamp codes?
- Yes. Serves and counts Bandcamp codes; fans grab one without signing up
Band.codes has been the default free answer in DIY and underground circles for a long time. You drop a batch of codes, get a shareable link, customise the embed, and watch a redemption count. Fans claim without an account. There is no release limit and no bill, which matters if you put out a new 12-inch every few weeks.
What it does not do: tell you who claimed, or bring in anyone who did not already have your link. There is a community feed, but genre browsing is thin compared with a dedicated electronic shelf. If you post the link to your Discord and your SoundCloud bio, it will do its job well and cost nothing.
It ranks below GetMusic here only because the audience this page is written for usually wants new ears, not a dispenser. If you have the ears already, move it up. We wrote a fuller GetMusic vs Band.codes comparison if you are deciding between the two.
5. Bandcamp's own code tools
- Best for
- Producers who will only ever email codes to a list they already own
- Price
- Free. 200 codes per account to start; 1,000 more per $500 in sales; more can be bought on the Tools page
- Bandcamp codes?
- Yes, this is where the codes come from. Export as CSV and mail-merge through Mailchimp or Constant Contact
Every tool on this page starts here, because Bandcamp is the only thing that generates codes. The Tools page on your release makes a batch and exports a CSV. Bandcamp's own docs walk through mail-merging that CSV into Mailchimp or Constant Contact, one code per subscriber. If your plan is "send the new EP to my list," this is complete and free.
The Tools page will tell you how many codes in the set were redeemed. It will not tell you who, or where they found the code, and there is no public surface where a stranger discovers free codes. That is the whole gap the third-party tools fill.
Use this on its own when you have a list and no desire to grow past it. Use it as step one for everything else.
What we'd do today
- Generate a batch on the release's Bandcamp Tools page and export the CSV. Keep it in one place; you will be splitting it, and the fastest way to annoy fans is to upload the same codes to two tools.
- Decide which audience this release is for. If the answer is "SoundCloud reposts," set up a PUSH.fm Reward Link (free) or a Hypeddit gate (if you need repost actions) with the MP3, and keep the Bandcamp codes out of it.
- Put 50 codes on GetMusic as the free first release so it lands on the electronic shelf, and keep 50 back for your own list through Mailchimp or Band.codes.
- After a month, read the claim list on GetMusic against the redemption count on the other half. Whichever half brought in people you did not already know gets the next release's codes.
- Before anything goes live, run the Bandcamp page through Fix My Bandcamp. It is free and catches the tags-and-art problems that quietly cost claims.
Frequently asked questions
Put your next release on the electronic shelf, free
Your first GetMusic release promotion costs nothing: paste the Bandcamp URL, upload up to 100 codes, and see who claims them. Keep your gate tool for SoundCloud; use this for the Bandcamp side.
