DistroKid’s pricing structure
Compared to the pricing models of established digital music distributors like Reverb Nation, CD Baby, TuneCore, and the growing roster of new, unproven companies that offer their services for free, DistroKid lands squarely in the middle. At just $20 per-year for their least expensive tier of service, musicians can upload an unlimited amount of music annually.
However, like we mentioned before, there are a couple of benefits that you might assume would be included in the price of a conventional digital distributor’s services that are extra when you work through DistroKid. What we haven’t mentioned yet is that releasing music through DK’s least expensive tier of service is a bad call if you have any interest in pitching music to Spotify’s editorial playlist curators. DistroKid will send your music to Spotify and the internet’s other massive music platforms in a day or two. This rapid music-uploading automation doesn’t give Spotify enough time to consider new music for playlists, hence the need to sign up for DK’s $35 Musician Plus tier if you’re serious about promoting your music (the Musician Plus and Label tiers let musicians customize their release dates).
But even at $35 a year, the prospect of being able to distribute as much music as you want without splitting earnings will sound like a great value for independent musicians who have a lot of work to share but not a lot of money to spend.
