Honestly I don't feel that Fandalism (which is also a one-man biz, too, I spose) added that much to DistroKid's growth. It was mostly some press, some blogs, and a good product. But yes- having a built-in user base with Fandalism

I agree with you. But VCs are still investing in startups that do what DistroKid does. Those startups all take a percentage of royalties. So there's probably a sense of "if we release the new Jay-Z record, we'll make that $10

Plans start at $20 per year. $35 gets you more advanced features (ability to set release dates, customize pricing, and more). We also have optional paid services, such as cover song licensing ($12/year per cover song), YouTube ContentI
