Sites you asked about in our planning — what each one does, and where Alabasta fits. We do not try to replace radio stations or chart trackers. We add artist upload, fan pay, fair chart, and pool royalties on top.
Indie gospel hub — jukebox, chart, Artist Home, encourage/tips, pool, concerts. Operated by Kingdom of Light Innovations LLC — same company as MissionFill.
What they are: 24/7 gospel radio on Live365 — news, DJ shows, artist spotlights.
What we add: Artists on BGR get heard but often earn $0 there. Alabasta gives them profiles, chart, and payouts.
Relationship: Exploring cross-promotion — their audience, our artist economy.
What they are: Chart tracker for 80+ internet gospel stations (airplay data — like Mediabase for indie gospel).
What we add: Fan-driven chart + direct pay on Alabasta.
Relationship: Visibility partner — get Alabasta artists listed when our stream is monitored.

What they are: Licensed stream backbone (ASCAP, BMI, SOCAN, SoundExchange, etc.) for US/Canada/Mexico.
What we add: Charts, engagement, profiles, payouts — Live365 carries the audio; Alabasta carries the economy.
Relationship: Infrastructure — planned jukebox stream provider at launch (~$59/mo Broadcast 1).
What they are: Canadian gospel directory / hip-hop & rap lane discovery.
What we add: Verified artist CRM + long-term Discovery Engine directory (API-driven, not junk scrapes).
Relationship: Discovery reference — some outreach seeds came from public directory research.
What they are: Cheap Icecast/SHOUTcast hosting for internet radio stations.
What we add: Full platform + licensing path via Live365 for North America.
Relationship: Optional later for global-only CDN stream — not our primary plan today.
What it is: Discipline app + 21-day mental/spiritual training course from the same company.
Relationship: Sister product — church outreach and pastor relationships feed both MissionFill and Alabasta founding roster.
