The math on a $1.99 track

As an Artist Pro, you keep $1.89. We keep $0.10. The fan gets 24-bit lossless plus unlimited streaming.

That 5% covers card processing, hosting, streaming infrastructure, and support — there's no separate processing charge stacked on top.

How we compare

We'd rather show you the real picture than cherry-pick a number.

Bandcamp

Takes 15% of digital sales (10% after $5,000 lifetime), plus 4–7% payment processing on top. On a $1.99 sale, an artist keeps roughly $1.47–$1.55.

SoundCloud direct sales

Takes 0% commission — but requires an Artist Pro subscription ($99/year) and is currently in beta for roughly 200 US creators, scheduled to open wider later this fall.

The honest read

We're not the cheapest per transaction — SoundCloud's zero commission beats our 5% for artists doing enough volume to justify the $99/year. What we offer is access today, 24-bit lossless delivery, DJ metadata, label and promoter tools, and a buy-once-stream-forever model that download-only stores don't have.
