Your Streams. Your Money.

Choosing the best music distributor can be challenging, especially with varying payout rates: since payout rates vary by distributor, streaming service, and country, artists need to analyze their own catalog and listener locations to find the best deal. For example: An artist with mostly Spotify streams in Germany might get a better payout from Distributor A than from Distributor B, because each distributor negotiates its own deal with Spotify—even within the same country. Our tool helps independent artists compare how much they would have earned with different DIY music distributors. Simply upload your royalty report, and we’ll calculate your potential earnings with alternative distributors.

Not all music distributors are the same. Here’s how they can differ: Payout rates – How much do you earn per stream? Pricing model – Upfront fees, annual subscriptions, or revenue-sharing (commission-based)? Additional services – Do they offer publishing administration, YouTube Content ID monetization, or beatport distribution? Payment speed – How quickly do you receive your earnings? Customer support – Some distributors provide more artist-friendly support than others. Our tool compares payout rates and tells you what distributor maximizes your income for your individual music catalogue.

If done correctly, switching distributors won’t affect your Spotify streams, Apple Music stats, or playlist placements. The key to a smooth transition is: Keeping your ISRC codes the same Ensuring identical metadata (title, artist name, album details) Checking with your new distributor about migration services
