Why is iMusician better than Tunecore?
No annual fees with iMusician
Unlike Tunecore, Ditto, Distrokid, and others, we have no annual renewal fees. No annual fees to keep your music in stores. No annual renewal fees to get your cash. No annual fees, period.*
iMusician’s pricing grows with you
We are the only distribution company to have pricing that grows with you. Start out with a lower-priced package with a commission, then pay the difference to upgrade to a 0% commission package as your fan base and earnings grow.
