How it works
Bandcamp's revenue share is simple: the platform takes 15 percent of digital sales and 10 percent of merchandise, which is far more generous than the fractions of a cent per stream on most services. Artists control their own pages, set their own prices, and can offer free downloads, pay-what-you-want pricing, or subscriptions.
Bandcamp is essential for independent artists with a loyal fanbase, especially in indie, electronic, metal, and experimental scenes. It will not replace streaming for discovery, but for turning fans into income, it is one of the best tools an artist can use. Pair it with a distributor for streaming and Bandcamp for direct sales.
