Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our pricing

Why do you use a revenue share model instead of a flat fee?

Our 80/20 revenue share model aligns our success with yours. We only make money when you do, which motivates us to work harder to get your music heard and streamed. This model also eliminates upfront costs, making music distribution accessible to all artists regardless of budget.

Are there any hidden fees with the 80/20 split?

No. Our 80/20 split is all-inclusive with no hidden fees, no annual charges, and no per-release fees. You keep 80% of all your earnings, and we take 20%. That's it.

What if I'm not earning much yet? Is the 80/20 model still good for me?

Yes! The 80/20 model is especially beneficial for artists who are just starting out. You don't have to pay anything upfront, so there's no financial risk. You only pay a percentage when you actually earn money, unlike services that charge annual fees regardless of your earnings.

How does the 80/20 split work with collaborations?

For collaborations, the 80% artist share is divided according to the split percentages you and your collaborators agree on. Our platform makes it easy to set up and manage these splits, ensuring everyone gets paid their fair share automatically.
