About this Tool
DistroKid is a digital music distribution platform that helps independent artists release music to Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services.
Beyond basic distribution, DistroKid offers tools for royalty collection, playlist pitching, and analytics tracking. Artists can monitor their streaming numbers, earnings, and audience demographics through the platform’s dashboard. The service also includes features like automatic royalty splitting among collaborators, YouTube monetization, and the ability to release unlimited music for a flat annual fee.
The DistroKid mobile app provides on-the-go access to key account features, allowing artists to check their stats, manage releases, and stay connected to their distribution pipeline from their iOS device. While the app complements the web-based platform, core upload and release management is primarily handled through the desktop interface.
