I am very happy with DistroKid. They helped me upgrade my YouTube channel to an "Official Artist Channel" very quickly. The Content ID integration works perfectly. I especially like the "Allowlist" fe... See more

DistroKid disregards LGBTQIA+ safety…
DistroKid disregards LGBTQIA+ safety and privacy!
"I am extremely disappointed and concerned with DistroKid’s lack of support. As an LGBTQIA+ artist (O***is), I have contacted them multiple times to abbreviate my legal name in my releases for safety and privacy reasons. They have ignored every single request.
Currently, 4 of my songs are live with my full legal name exposed against my will. This is a major safety concern for queer artists who need to separate their artistic identity from their private life. DistroKid claims to support independent creators, but they fail to provide the most basic privacy edits. If you care about your privacy or if you are an LGBTQIA+ creator, stay away. Their support is non-existent and they do not respect their artists' safety."
Easy to use and good price
HORRIBLE First release
First release : one of my tracks is flashed as countaining a sample ( it is not ) and cancels the whole album, there is no option to contest, i ask help to support and they just copy past things over and over, after 32h, 2 days before release, someone pushed the release. Im going to edit this message if it is or not released on time
Distrokid made it incredibly easy.
Distrokid made it incredibly easy to get my music out there, and the included features are really great and helpful.
The support received today by Purple…
The support received today by Purple was far below my expectations. He/she seem to know anything, even providing a screenshot didn't help. Was asking my questions completely not related to my problem while not halping me solving the problem at all. Who is supposed to know how to fill the form when uploading a track than the Distrokid employees???? :(
friendly and easy to use
I'm really enjoying it
I'm really enjoying it, it's my first time using it, very didactic, easy to use, and always kept updated. Congratulations, you're doing a great job, keep it up... I wish you all much success, I hope to have this partnership for a long time! All the best.
90%+ Transaction Fees!!! Scammers.
They charged me over 90% in transaction fees when I withdrew my money using wire transfer.. How are musicians meant to make money if you charge that much !!! Ridiculous, You did not disclose It would cost that much.. I want my money back now. How can you expect customers to trust you if you do this to them? They need to dump Tipalti. Tried contacting support, said they would put me through to an agent.. its been hours and nothing

They have locked me out of my own account, and it’s been impossible to get back in.
Absolute disaster
Absolute disaster. They completely mess up metadata, don't process aborted songs correctly, charge hidden fees, and yes then the credit card after you took a subscription like others mentioned. my spotify not working, broken links song playlist empty.. Pure scam. Watch out for the "social media pack for content ID", you pay PER RELEASE, PER YEAR, so those fees come back EVERY year on EVERY single/album you submit!! So with every new release that number continues to increase every year and if you have a lot of releases you end up paying thousands of euros after a few years. That is insane! Deleted my releases and went with another distributor.
It made releasing my single a breeze

FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, we as in our group, released a 21 song album in august of 2024, by january of 2025 by our third video release we had just shy of 1000 real followers just on spotify alone. YET MONTH AFTER MONTH AFTER MONTH DISTROKID REPORTED TO US ..(ZERO) LISTENS EACH MONTH (ZERO) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? JUST SHY OF 1000 FOLLOWERS ON SPOTIFY ALONE YET NONE OF THEM LISTENED TO ANY OF OUR SONGS EVEN ONCE.... LMFAO..YOU GUYS ARE STRAIGHT RIP OFF ARTISTS!!! AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF AND DOCUMENTED ALBUM SALES AND DOWNLOAD SALES FROM BOTH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, YOU REPORT THAT WE'VE EARNED UP TO THIS DAY ON FEBRUARY 11 OF 2026 ONE DOLLAR AND 14 CENTS THATS AND I REPEAT ($1.14)..hOW CAN YOU SHADY ASS PEOPLE SLEEP AT NIGHT STEALING FROM AND LEACHING OFF OF OTHER PEOPLES DEDICATED HARD ARTISTICAL WORK... I CAN'T THINK OF MUCH THATS WORSE THAN THAT. ESPECIALLY IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY. SO FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU DISTROKID FOR STEALING FOOD OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF OUR KIDS!!....IF YOUR STILL THINKING ABOUT USING DISTROKID TO RELEASE YOUR MUSIC AFTER READING THIS REVIEW, ... ... .... DON'T BE AN IDIOT! .... SINCERELY, MadeByMonstrs
The ability to distribute my music…
The ability to distribute my music across multiple platforms simultaneously and monitor its performance efficiently through a single application is exceptionally beneficial and advantageous.
Really easy process
Really easy process. I was worried at first. Really simple and easy though.
