Our take
nkoda is frequently described as the Spotify for sheet music. Just like Spotify, it is a platform that provides its users with unlimited access to original and licensed music sheets and libraries. The app’s library can be viewed, annotated and shared on- or offline, removing the need for purchasing costly music scores individually.
nkoda has been able to attain best-in-class status by providing an extensive and diverse range of materials, a unique offering targeted more towards professional musicians. This has been possible through their impressive partnerships with top publishers, writers and musicians across the world, including Ludovico Einaudi who is the world’s most streamed classical artist.
Despite new competition springing up in recent years, nkoda has raised considerable funding and remained a key player in the market. As the success of subscription continues in the music industry, the company are well positioned to grow considerably in the future.
