Octiive vs. Ditto

Ditto claims unlimited uploads and zero commission, but artists often report hidden fees, payout delays, and poor support. Octiive delivers on the same promises — unlimited releases, full royalties — while also providing clear pricing and broader reach to 260+ stores worldwide. For artists tired of surprises, Octiive is the safer bet.

‍

Ditto is popular in the UK and Europe, offering unlimited uploads and claiming “0% commission.” Octiive competes directly with a similar promise — but with fewer complaints about hidden costs and more transparency.

Pricing & Fees

• Octiive: Pay-per-release or unlimited subscription models. Clear pricing: $9 per single, $19 per album, or $5/month for unlimited. UPC and ISRC codes are free.
  
  
• Ditto: Subscription model (starting around $19/year). On paper, this looks cheaper, but artists often report hidden costs (for removals, extras, or metadata corrections).
  
  

Why Octiive wins: Transparent pricing and no hidden removal or service fees.

‍

Royalties & Revenue

• Octiive: 100% royalties on subscription plans, ~92% on pay-as-you-go.
  
  
• Ditto: Advertises “keep 100%,” but negative reviews suggest payout delays and inconsistent support.
  
  

Why Octiive wins: More reliable royalty processing, less risk of delays.

‍

Store Reach

• Octiive: 260+ DSPs worldwide, 140+ countries.
  
  
• Ditto: Global distribution, but coverage details are less clear, and some artists report difficulty with takedowns or updates.
  
  

Why Octiive wins: Broader store list with smoother backend processes.

Verdict

Ditto markets itself as affordable and artist-friendly, but its reputation suffers from reports of poor support and hidden fees. Octiive offers the same “keep your royalties” promise, with better transparency and a wider global reach.
