Try OctiiveWhat to compare before you switch
- The real yearly cost. Look past the headline price. Release dates, Content ID and keeping your music live can cost extra at some distributors.
- What happens if you stop paying. Some distributors take your songs offline. Octiive keeps them live and moves you to pay as you go.
- Royalty split. Check how much of your net royalties you keep.
- Store coverage. Look for TikTok, Instagram and Beatport, not just Spotify and Apple Music.
- Room to grow. Look for promotion, royalty collection and funding on the same platform.
