Distronaut vs Tunecore/Distrokid Music Plan

As you may know Tunecore charges per product (i.e.single/album) irregardless of the number of artists on your release. On the contrary, Distrokid charges based on the number of artists on products in your catalogue.

Tunecore subscription fee calculation (Pay by Number of Releases)

This might be a good model for artists/groups that have multiple artists or stakeholders on their releases and/or that will only release one or two products. Since you will pay based on the number of releases and if you are not releasing much, you will not pay much.

However, if you are on a roll, and you are coming up with new songs frequently, you are out of luck and you will pay more than planned.

Distrokid subscription fee calculation

This might be a better model for groups or artists that are singers/songwriters who do not have many stakeholders in the release or artists planning to have more than a few releases per year. Since you are yourself and will plan to release 4 releases that particular year, this might be your deal.

However, if conditions change, a new release comes along that will require you to have more artists than yourself. Then, you will be forced to pay more since you will end up having more artists.

A small detail which might be also very important for most musicians, with the Musician plan. You can not set your release date, so in essence, the most basic Distrokid plan to work with is in fact Artist Plus plan and it costs $35.99/year.

Both models will lock you into one particular scenario that does not allow you to change it. Or you change your mind (as we artists always do).

We will charge you the same ($9.99/$29.99 or $19.99/$35.99) and you will pick whichever model you like, and you will be able to switch whenever you want.
