How the Platform’s Commission Works

The platform operates strictly under a Revenue Share model. This means:

• no upfront payments for services;
• no fees for setup, uploads, or distribution;
• the commission is taken only from royalties actually earned;
• the percentage rate is always agreed in advance and fixed in your contract.

Depending on your partnership structure (artist, label, catalog size, territory), the percentage may vary. However, it never changes unilaterally and is always contract-based.

When Additional Costs Can Actually Appear

Any potential expenses come only from third-party financial systems, and never from the platform itself:

• bank fees during royalty withdrawals;
• payment processor fees in certain regions;
• currency exchange fees;
• fees for payouts to Russian bank accounts;
• crypto network fees when withdrawing via cryptocurrency;
• external marketing or promotion services (optional).

What the Platform Never Charges For

• publishing releases;
• removing releases;
• importing your catalog from another distributor;
• changing release titles;
• updating artwork;
• metadata corrections;
• providing ISRC and EAN codes.
