Recording songs is just one step in the music-making process. Next, emerging artists need to distribute their album, EP or singles on music streaming platforms in order to reach listeners.
Sources like YouTube and TikTok have become a popular method for exposure, but if you’re looking to reach a wider audience, DistroKid can instantly get your music on Spotify — and for as little as $2 a month.
What differentiates the platform from the rest isn’t just its simplicity, but its artist-first mind-set and ability to eliminate having to count tracks and pay royalty fees. In three easy steps, you can get your music quickly released on Spotify in addition to a slew of other benefits. You’ll need to sign up for DistroKid in order to take advantage of everything the service has to offer, but the platform offers a variety of affordable plans to choose from, starting at $1.92 a month (billed annually at $22.99).

The Musician plan is the base package for one artist that’s $22.99 a year and includes unlimited song uploads, your lyrics in Google, a Spotify verified checkmark, the ability to create royalty splits and access to the mobile app.
For more creative freedom, you can get Musician Plus for $39.99 a year ($3.33 a month) and utilize it for up to two artists while receiving everything in the Musician plan in addition to synced lyrics in Apple Music and daily streaming stats. You can flex your creativity further when you take advantage of the customizable features for a label name, release date, preorder date and iTunes pricing.
To save up to 40% off, you can go for the Ultimate subscription that’s $89.99 a year and includes everything in the Musician Plus plan in addition to 1 TB of storage, contact info for thousands of playlists and free iPhone app access.
Beyond receiving verification on Spotify, a DistroKid subscription gives you control over your artist profile, allowing you to update your photo, bio and links. You can help your music reach more listeners by pitching songs directly to Spotify playlist curators and even track streaming statistics, including number of streams, saves and engagements. The deep insight into your audience can assist in developing marketing plans — especially since DistroKid lets you view Spotify’s streaming charts.
In terms of getting paid, the platform handles all of that for you with payments distributed twice a week — and you get to keep 100% of the royalties.
