Streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music have taken over the way we consume music these days. It’s no longer just an option for the indie artist to have their music available to stream, it’s a necessity.
Thankfully, there are plenty of options out there when it comes to digital music distribution, but this can make it hard to know which company is the best for your music.
HolaTune is one of the most popular and well regarded music distribution companies of 2022. It’s a free and subscription based service. You can then submit as much music as you’d like for as long as you’re subscribed. You are also able to keep 100% of the royalties you receive from streaming and youtube content id services.
Get your music playing in over 220 + digital stores and streaming services across 100+ countries worldwide.
CD Baby is one of the most popular companies, but more expensive than others,
Currently they charge artists just $9.95 USD per song or $29 USD per album. After that, your music will be sent to all major streaming platforms indefinitely (unless you choose to have it removed).
This makes CD Baby a much better choice if you’re only planning to release music a few times a year.
TuneCore is one of the oldest digital music distribution companies and they have a proven track record because of that.
Like DistroKid, Tunecore lets artists keep 100% of their revenue. However, their pricing scheme is different than the others we’ve mentioned so far. They charge a yearly fee on a per single or per album basis. So, the more music you have, the more you’ll be paying each year and it adds up quick.
Amuse is certainly unique when compared to its competitors. They offer some very cool features that a lot of other digital distribution companies don’t, so there’s many reasons they might be the right fit for your music.
First, they’re the only major company that allows you to distribute your music for free while keeping 100% of the profits. It’s pretty hard to compete with a price like that!
Similarly to Amuse, AWAL is tied to a label and don’t charge anything for you to distribute your music with them. However, they do take a 15% cut of your revenue, which may be a lot for some artists.
Another unique aspect of AWAL is that they don’t work with everybody. Artists have to submit their music and be approved in order to distribute with AWAL and gain access to their services.
Landr is pretty new to the music distribution game, compared to other companies on this list. However, they have a long history in the online industry, as an automated mastering service.
What’s cool about Landr’s distribution service is that it’s included with any of their paid mastering subscriptions. So, if you’re already paying a monthly fee for Landr’s other services, you can distribute your music without paying anything extra.
