Strictly independent
Built exclusively for fully independent artists and labels.
To release on Indie Music Stream, you — and your catalog — must be completely independent with no major-label ties. It keeps our catalog 100% indie and keeps our payouts focused entirely on artists like you.
Why it matters
The big platforms pay out around 70% of revenue, split purely by total streams. We pay out 80% — and 75% of each fan's share follows who they actually listen to.
80% of all net revenue goes to artists, pooled from listener subscriptions and the Artist Portal. We keep 20% to run the platform. Of that artist share, 75% is fan-centric — tied to each listener's qualified plays — and 25% goes to a shared pro-rata pool split by catalog reach. Fan-powered payouts with a fair reach bonus, not pure dilution across every artist on the platform.
75%
Fan-centric
Most of each listener's artist share goes only to tracks they qualified-played that week — your real fans fund you.
25%
Pro-rata pool
A shared pool split by each track's share of total streams — rewards reach and keeps silent subscribers from going to waste.
