Why iMusician

Hit the right platforms

With iMusician, you can distribute your tracks to 200+ platforms, including YouTube Content ID, so your music reaches fans far and wide. We cover every genre, including classical music, and cater to shops like Traxsource and Beatport, essential for electronic music artists. MusicDiffusion doesn’t distribute classical music releases and music on Traxsource.

Zero commission on all plans

With iMusician, you retain 100% of your revenue, no matter which subscription plan you choose. In contrast, to keep all of your earnings with MusicDiffusion, you must opt for the Full Royalties option under the Platinum Plan, which costs $149.99/year plus a $27 sign-up fee.

A comprehensive suite of tools and features included

All iMusician subscription plans come with a wide range of additional perks, tools, and features at no extra cost. These include music analytics, Artist Hub promo tools, premium YouTube support, and access to a YouTube Official Artist Channel.

While MusicDiffusion also offers some features with its subscriptions, many essential tools require additional payment. This includes music smartlinks (from $3 to $73/year), the YouTube Official Artist Channel ($64), and submissions to MusicDiffusion’s official playlists ($79.99/year). Additionally, most of their "exclusive artist services" come with a $27 sign-up fee/service.

Effortless and transparent royalty management

Our Revenue Splits automates the calculation of royalties between you and your collaborators, such as labels, producers, and featuring artists. It is a transparent and hassle-free way to share royalties and ensure everyone gets their fair share. MusicDiffusion doesn’t offer revenue splits.

Support in 6 Languages and the guidance you need

Our Artist & Label Relations team provides top-notch support in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

FAQs

No, MusicDiffusion is not free. Even with their ‘Free Plan’ plan, your music is only distributed on social platforms, and you’ll have to pay 20% of your revenue. If you want your music on streaming platforms and keep 100% of your revenue, you must select the Full Royalties option under the Platinum Plan, which costs $149.99/year, plus a $27 sign-up fee.

With iMusician, you keep 100% of your earnings across all subscription plans, with no sign-up fees for any of our services.

This is very simple.

  1. Keep your ISRC codes and UPC barcodes of your releases distributed via MusicDiffusion.

  2. Request the takedown of your releases on MusicDiffusion.

  3. Create your releases on iMusician, your best MusicDiffusion alternative, and insert the same UPC and ISRC codes where required so that you keep the same count of streams, downloads, playlists, etc.
