There’s also an option to upgrade to Label for $80/year which has the ability to control up to 5 artists/bands. If you’re a professional musician you can choose to upgrade your membership to Musician Plus for $36/year which provides more granular analysis of your streaming numbers including geographic information, daily streaming breakdowns, custom label name, custom release date, iTunes pricing and 2 artists/band. Their plan is just to make the best digital distribution option for artists all over the world. Unlike a lot of the big digital distribution sites, DistroKid doesn’t have upsales and add-ons at every corner. The DistroKid back end is simple and easy to use. With DistroKid there is only one fee for AAAAALLLL the music you have. A band with a few albums, a couple of singles, and an EP can see their yearly fee add up quickly.

Previously with TuneCore and CDBaby you not only had to pay to put up each release but you also had to pay a large yearly fee to keep your releases up. Correct, unlimited uploads to all the streaming services for $20. With DistroKid you pay $20 a year and can put out as many tracks as you want. Your music is guaranteed to be up within two weeks but in many cases it can be up within 24 hours.īut where DistroKid truly shines is with their unlimited uploads. DistroKid has a crazy quick turnaround time. It’s about being prolific and getting your music out quickly.

Think of DistroKid as a better TuneCore and a leaner CDBaby. In close conversations with my artist friends for the past six months I have been asking them “Have you heard of DistroKid?” Currently DistroKid is the absolute best way to get your music onto streaming services.Ĥ.
