DistroKid

Music distribution and release management

DistroKid is for independent musicians who want to send their recordings to streaming services and manage releases from a phone. The app supports uploads to more than 150 platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok and YouTube Music. Artists can upload songs, check release information and edit releases later.

Useful after release day

The app is not only for submitting music. It can show streaming statistics, provide access to artist accounts such as Spotify for Artists and TikTok Artist Account, and create Promo Cards for sharing a release on social media. Push notifications can alert artists when earnings are available to claim, with options to withdraw them through the app.

For artists already using DistroKid

Existing account holders can use the app to keep track of releases, activity and earnings while away from a computer. It may be especially handy for musicians who put out music regularly and want routine distribution tasks and basic monitoring in one place. DistroKid says artists keep 100% of their earnings; the app’s distribution service is aimed at creators managing their own music rather than listeners looking for a streaming library.

A well-used tool, not a listening app

DistroKid has a 4.70-star rating from 26,507 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs. Those figures suggest a substantial audience, though they do not guarantee that every artist will find the workflow a fit. If you already release music through DistroKid, the app can earn its place as a practical companion for checking stats, handling release updates and keeping an eye on earnings between releases.
