What Studiomatic does

Studiomatic SAS is a Paris-area operator of self-service music production studios, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Saint-Mandé, France. The company provides 24/7 access to four studio formats — beatmaking/production, podcast, DJ, and private studios — equipped with professional-grade equipment including Pioneer CDJ-3000 turntables and DJM-A9 mixing consoles for DJ rooms, Rodecaster Pro consoles and Rode Podmic microphones for podcast rooms, and SSL 2+ and Antelope Zen Go Synergy Core sound cards for production rooms. The platform operates more than 10 studios in the Paris metropolitan area and serves independent beatmakers, music producers, podcasters, DJs, and rehearsal musicians.

The platform is built around a proprietary smartphone-based access control system: customers complete digital identity verification, book studios through a real-time online reservation interface, pay via Stripe, and unlock studio doors via smartphone without on-site staff interaction. Cloud infrastructure runs on Digital Ocean, with Stripe handling both one-time payments and recurring subscription billing. All studios are fully self-service — no sound engineer is included — which the company positions as a cost and flexibility differentiator versus traditional staffed studios.

Revenue is generated through two primary channels: pay-per-hour on-demand bookings (beatmaking from €12/hr, DJ from €24/hr, podcast audio from €25/hr) and the "Club Studiomatic" subscription product, which offers Gold (€349/month for 40 hours, €8.7/hr effective) and Black (€499/month for 80 hours, €6.2/hr effective) tiers. Add-on revenue comes from coaching sessions (€20 for 30 minutes), multi-camera video recording for podcasts (€128 for 2 hours), and storage lockers. Founder Anthony Amar serves as President; the company remains founder-owned following a ~$1.73M raise in January 2023 led by Bpifrance alongside Sharpstone Capital and Super Capital VC, and has signaled intent to expand beyond Paris into additional French cities.

Core offering

Studiomatic rents out professional music recording studios (beatmaking, podcast, DJ, and private studios) in Paris on an hourly or monthly-subscription basis, with 24/7 self-service access unlocked via a smartphone app after online booking. Studios are equipped with professional gear (Pioneer CDJ-3000/DJM-A9, Rodecaster Pro, SSL 2+, Antelope Zen Go Synergy Core) and are used by independent music producers, podcasters, and DJs.

Product overview

Studiomatic is a Paris-based music studio rental platform offering 24/7 access to shared and private recording facilities through an online booking system and smartphone-based access. The core offering consists of four studio types — Beatmaking/Production Studios, Podcast Studios, DJ Studios, and Private Studios — each equipped with genre-specific professional equipment (Pioneer DJM A9 mixers and CDJ-3000 turntables for DJ; Rodecaster Pro consoles for podcast; Antelope Zen Go Synergy Core and SSL 2+ sound cards for production). The platform operates on two access models: pay-per-hour on-demand booking and no-commitment monthly subscription plans under 'Club Studiomatic,' offering hourly credits and discounts on additional hours. Additional offerings include a video production add-on for podcast studios (using Logitech Mevo cameras), a coaching accompaniment option, and group management features for shared bookings. The Studiomatic Pro sub-brand addresses professional and business users.

Direct peers

• Pirate Studios: Pirate Studios operates 24/7 self-service, app-booked rehearsal, DJ, podcast and production studios across the UK and beyond. Operating model and customer segment are nearly identical to Studiomatic's: independent musicians, podcasters, and DJs accessing premium equipment unattended via a smartphone app.
• Rehearsal.com / BandRehearsal Studios (UK rehearsal room chains): UK-based chains offering hourly rehearsal and recording room bookings, sometimes with online reservation. Operate in the same hourly-studio category as Studiomatic but typically require staff and lack 24/7 smartphone unlock and subscription tiers.

Broad incumbents

• Peerspace: Peerspace is a marketplace for hourly rentals of unique spaces (studios, lofts, event venues) in major US and EU cities. It overlaps with Studiomatic in the "rent creative space by the hour via an online platform" value proposition, though it is broader in scope (events, filming, meetings) and does not operate any owned inventory.
• Splacer: Splacer is a marketplace for booking short-term creative and event spaces, including studios and rehearsal rooms. Like Peerspace, it competes at the platform layer rather than operating studios, but the customer overlap (creators booking hourly space) is meaningful.

Emerging players

• SessionLinkPro: SessionLinkPro is a booking platform connecting musicians, producers, and engineers with pro studios and session musicians globally. It shares Studiomatic's "online booking for music production resources" theme but is matchmaking layer, not an operator of physical studios.
• BandLab: BandLab is a social music creation platform (DAW, loops, collaboration) used by independent producers and beatmakers globally. It targets the same creator base but substitutes a free virtual studio for a paid physical one, making it a downstream alternative rather than a direct competitor.

Others

• LANDR: LANDR provides AI-powered audio mastering, samples, and music production tools to independent creators. It targets the same independent musician and beatmaker demographic as Studiomatic and acts as a complementary/alternative production workflow outside the physical studio.
