DistroKid Charges You More Than You Think – Here’s a Smarter Alternative

🚨 "DistroKid Is Overcharging You—Here’s Why LANDR Is a Better Deal!" 🚨

If you're an independent artist using DistroKid in 2025, you might be paying way more than you need to. With additional fees for services like Content ID, Dolby Atmos, and more, the costs can quickly add up. But there’s a better option—LANDR Distribution Pro offers these same premium services for a flat annual fee, saving you hundreds of dollars. 🎵💰

In this episode of the Music Makin Cents Podcast, Harkos breaks down the hidden costs of DistroKid and explains why LANDR is a smarter choice for independent artists who want to distribute their music without breaking the bank.

🔹 The True Cost of Using DistroKid

While DistroKid’s base plan starts at $22.99/year, extra services can significantly increase your yearly expenses:

✅ Content ID (YouTube + TikTok) – $4.95/song/year ✅ Dolby Atmos (High-Quality Audio) – $27/song ✅ Store Maximizer – $7.95/year ✅ Discovery Pack (Shazam & Others) – $0.99/song/year

If you release 12 songs a year, these add-ons could cost:

• $60/year for Content ID
• $360/year for Dolby Atmos
• Total: $540+/year by Year 3

These costs increase every year as fees are charged annually per song—which means the more you release, the more you pay.

🔹 Why LANDR Distribution Pro Is the Better Choice

For $45/year, LANDR Distribution Pro includes all the essential features DistroKid charges extra for—without the recurring fees:

✅ Unlimited Music Releases with 100% Royalties ✅ Content ID (YouTube + TikTok) – Included ✅ Dolby Atmos (High-Quality Audio) – Included ✅ Store Maximizer & Discovery Pack – Included ✅ Leave a Legacy – Keep your music online if you stop paying

By switching to LANDR, you could save hundreds of dollars annually while still having access to advanced features and faster customer support—with responses in 2 business days.
