Why iMusician?

  • Illustration of a black and white microphone icon against a dark background.
    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.

  • A black and white icon depicting a credit card.
    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.

  • Black and white illustration of a simple ghost-like shape with a round head and a wide, open mouth.
    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.

  • A black-and-white illustration of a dollar sign inside a circle.
    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.

  • Black heart-shaped outline against a white background.
    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.
