With TuneCore Music Distribution, you can pay to distribute with an Unlimited Plan or on a per-release basis. Both options automatically renew on a yearly basis.
For releases on Social Platforms (YouTube Music, YouTube Content ID, CapCut, TikTok, and Facebook/Instagram/Reels), there is no initial upload fee and no annual renewal cost. You will keep 100% of your rights and 80% of your revenue that is earned from these stores.
The subscription fee covers the maintenance of your music in the stores. With stores constantly changing their requirements, we'll make sure your music meets all of their specifications. Plus, you'll receive sales reports so you know where every penny comes from.

Distribution Credits (Pay-per-release only)
Waiting to finish your upcoming album? Looking to save with bulk distribution? Consider purchasing distribution credits! You’ll save money by buying multiple credits at once, and they never expire so they'll always be available when you're ready to distribute your next release.
