About

DistroKid is a service for musicians that puts your music into online stores & streaming services. Then when people listen to your music, we send you money. All your music should be in stores. DistroKid is the only service that lets you upload unlimited music to stores for one low price and keep 100% of your earnings. Other services make you pay every time you upload something, or they take a percent of earnings—which is way less fun (and way more expensive). DistroKid gets your music into stores in a fraction of the time it takes our competitors to get your music into stores. DistroKid is for solo musicians, artists, bands, DJs, performers, producers, and creators who record music at home or in the studio. We have services for labels, too. We distribute your music on Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Pandora, Amazon, Instagram, YouTube, Tidal, iHeartRadio, Deezer and many other stores and streaming services.

Audience

Musicians, artists, bands, DJs, performers, producers searching for a music distribution solution to upload an sell their music

Audience

Independent record labels, distributors, and professional/career artists who need more than a basic upload tool, specifically anyone running a multi-release or multi-label catalog who needs royalty accounting, automated splits, custom label branding, DDEX-standard delivery, and API/white-label distribution. It also fits developers and businesses building their own branded distribution service on top of a REST API, and Merlin Network members seeking a recognized delivery platform. Less suited to a hobbyist wanting a single one-off single upload.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy and User-Friendly Interface: DistroKid boasts a straightforward and intuitive interface, making it incredibly easy for artists to navigate and manage their music distribution. The platform's simplicity ensures a smooth user experience, even for those new to music distribution. Swift Distribution Process: DistroKid excels in delivering music to major streaming platforms quickly. Artists can expect their music to be available to fans within a matter of hours, eliminating long waiting times that can hinder promotional efforts and momentum. Affordable Pricing Structure: DistroKid offers an exceptional value for money, with a straightforward and transparent pricing structure. Artists pay a flat annual fee, allowing them to distribute an unlimited number of songs and albums without any additional charges. This pricing model is especially beneficial for independent artists on a tight budget. Customization and Release Flexibility: DistroKid provides artists with various customization options, including the ability to set release dates, create pre-orders, and instantly deliver content to YouTube. This level of flexibility empowers artists to plan and execute their music releases according to their specific marketing strategies. Extensive Distribution Network: DistroKid has a wide-reaching distribution network, ensuring that artists' music reaches all major streaming platforms and digital stores. From Spotify and Apple Music to Amazon Music and Tidal, DistroKid covers a comprehensive range of platforms, maximizing exposure and potential revenue for artists. Comprehensive Sales and Streaming Analytics: DistroKid offers detailed analytics and insights into an artist's streaming and sales performance. Artists can track their music's progress, monitor trends, and make data-driven decisions for future releases and promotional campaigns. Additional Artist Services: In addition to music distribution, DistroKid offers a range of supplementary services to support artists. These include options for monetizing cover songs through YouTube and access to Spotify for Artists, enabling artists to gain valuable insights and control over their Spotify profiles. Overall, DistroKid's user-friendly interface, fast distribution, affordability, customization options, extensive network, analytics, and additional artist services make it an excellent choice for independent musicians looking to maximize their music's reach and potential in the digital landscape.

Cons

  • Limited Customer Support Response Time: While DistroKid's customer support team is generally helpful, there have been instances where the response time was longer than expected. This delay can be frustrating, especially when urgent issues or inquiries arise that require immediate attention. Improved responsiveness would greatly enhance the overall user experience. Lack of Physical Distribution Options: DistroKid primarily focuses on digital music distribution, which means it does not offer options for physical distribution such as CDs or vinyl. While digital platforms dominate the music industry, some artists and fans still value physical formats. It would be beneficial if DistroKid expanded its services to include physical distribution, providing artists with a more comprehensive range of distribution options.
