Our take

Distribution is vital for independent music acts to break out, but hard to navigate, especially without financial backing. Getting music into online stores and onto streaming platforms can take time that artists and labels often can’t afford to waste.

DistroKid is a cost-effective and speedy distribution service that sells itself on its quick turnaround. It claims it can get your music live on streaming platforms within 24-48 hours, all with a flat, annual fee that allows you to upload unlimited songs. Another selling point is the platform's lack of a royalty fee, allowing artists to keep 100% of the music they sell via DistroKid’s service.

Distrokid's extra promotional tools and a no-fuss, easy-to-navigate platform give musicians agency over their songs, and the platform has millions of users and positive testimonials to match.
