No subscription.
You pay only when you earn.

DistroKid, TuneCore and similar providers charge €20-50 a year, even in years with zero streams. OGRECORDS^™ works the other way round: nothing upfront, nothing monthly. You get up to 100 % paid out, and our share only applies to actual streaming earnings.

Below about €220 a year in earnings OGR is cheaper, and at zero streams it always is.

DistroKid Musician (€21.99/year) and TuneCore (~€10-30/year per release) cost money even when nothing comes in. With OGR a year without streams costs €0. When you earn, you get up to 100 % paid out.

The subscription model and OG at a glance.

Daily instead of monthly.

Subscription providers like DistroKid and TuneCore pay monthly, so you wait up to 30 days for your money even though you paid for the year upfront. OGRECORDS™ pays out manually within 24 hours, from $50.

Included instead of an upgrade.

Subscription providers almost always charge an extra €5-15 a year for YouTube Content ID. At OGR it's standard, with ACRCloud + Audible Magic from day 1.

Active pitching, not a database entry.

Subscription distributors add your catalog to a database and wait. OGRECORDS™ actively pitches it to film, ads, games and TV. A single sync often earns more than a year of streaming royalties.

Splits with no cap.

DistroKid allows 4 recipients on the standard plan and charges extra for more. On OGRECORDS™ unlimited splits are included.

An API at no extra cost.

DistroKid and TuneCore have no public API. OGR gives every account the full REST API with sandbox and webhooks.
