How it works

TuneCore's strength is the breadth of its service: distribution, publishing, and sync are handled in one place, which suits artists who want to collect every type of royalty without juggling several companies. Plans are priced by tier rather than by release, so frequent releasers get more value from the same yearly fee.

TuneCore is a solid pick for artists who plan to release regularly and want publishing handled alongside distribution. The trade-offs are the same as other subscription distributors: your music comes down if you stop paying, and social-platform revenue carries a 20 percent fee. Compare it with DistroKid and Ditto before committing, as the best value depends on how often you release.
