7Days Digital

7Days Digital is a web-based distributor for independent music, with separate support for labels and YouTube creators. It suits artists who want broad store coverage and a choice between surrendering part of royalties or paying to keep them. The main trade-off is straightforward: free distribution costs no money up front but retains a 20% UGC collection share, while paid tiers add full royalties and richer tools.

Overview

Artists upload audio, artwork, and release information, and 7Days Digital delivers the package to more than 100 streaming services in over 200 countries and territories. TikTok and Instagram Reels are included in that reach. Most releases appear within seven days, although individual platforms can take longer, and advance scheduling lets artists set a target date.

One dashboard combines stream, listener, and revenue reporting across services. Users retain ownership of their master recordings and compositions, while granting 7Days Digital a limited, non-exclusive distribution license. Accounts require users to be at least 18, or the age of majority where they live.

Key features

Distribution and release timing

The combination of wide store coverage and scheduled dates is useful for independent artists planning a coordinated launch across streaming and social channels. The seven-day figure is a planning guide rather than a universal deadline, so campaigns that depend on every service going live together need contingency time.

Analytics and collection

Free and Single provide basic analytics, enough for routine stream, audience, and earnings checks. Pro adds advanced analytics and insights, plus Content ID and royalty collection, making it the more practical tier for artists who need to identify and monetize uses beyond ordinary store streams.

YouTube monetization

The separate YouTube channel service pays creators 85% of generated revenue and takes a 15% share without a signup fee. It is aimed at creators who control their channel and content, live in a region where the Partner Program is unavailable or restricted, and comply with YouTube policies. It is not a general-purpose option for channels that do not meet those conditions.

Support and rights

Human support is offered across the service. Free and Single use email support, while Pro includes priority handling; Label adds a dedicated account manager. The privacy policy says personal information is not sold and that reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, while acknowledging that absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Single is economical for an occasional one-off when keeping all royalties matters; the per-release charge becomes less attractive for a steady schedule. Pro is the clear choice for regular releases because its annual fee covers unlimited singles and albums while adding the service's strongest reporting and collection tools. Labels and teams should request a custom quote: the additional profiles, permissions, splits, and account management address operational needs the artist plans do not.

Platforms

7Days Digital runs on the web. Its distribution network covers more than 100 stores and services across 200+ countries and territories, including TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Who it's for

Independent artists get the broadest fit: unlimited free releases, scheduled delivery, and a path to full royalties through Single or Pro. Pro suits artists who need Content ID, royalty collection, and deeper performance reporting. The Label plan is designed for organizations managing multiple artists and contributors. YouTube creators should consider the monetization service only when they control the relevant content and satisfy its regional and policy requirements.

Pros and cons

Pros

More than 100 services in 200+ territories, including major short-form social destinations, supports broad release reach.

Unlimited releases on Free and Pro removes a volume ceiling for active catalogs.

Single and Pro let artists keep 100% of royalties, unlike the Free plan's 80% UGC share.

Pro combines advanced insights, Content ID, royalty collection, and priority support in one annual tier.

Label adds practical controls for multi-artist teams, including permissions and custom splits.

Cons

Free retains 20% of royalties recovered from user-generated content, which matters as that usage grows.

Single charges for each release, so frequent issuers may outgrow it quickly.

Store delivery is not guaranteed within seven days; slower platforms can disrupt tightly timed campaigns.

Label pricing is custom, making the cost harder to compare before contacting the company.

YouTube monetization is limited to creators meeting specific ownership, regional, and policy conditions.

Alternatives

RouteNote is a better fit if you want Android or iOS access and a free plan that keeps 85% of net revenue without an upfront distribution fee. UnitedMasters suits artists who need mobile apps, royalty splits, or a free tier with a $20 cash-out minimum. EmuBands is worth considering when pay-per-release pricing and a web workflow are preferable. FreshTunes offers another free web-based route with a 20% commission on YouTube Content ID, songwriter royalties, and UGC platforms. Indiefy fits artists comfortable with a free plan limited to one release per month and an $100 minimum royalty payment. NotaDist is an alternative for unlimited tracks, YouTube Content ID, and an 80% royalty share on its free tier. LANDR Distribution is for users who want apps on desktop and mobile and a paid annual plan with unlimited releases and 100% streaming revenue. AWAL provides another web-based distribution option.

Verdict

Choose 7Days Digital if you are an independent artist who values extensive store reach, scheduled delivery, and a clear upgrade path from free distribution to full royalties and Content ID. Look elsewhere if you need guaranteed simultaneous release timing, a published multi-artist price, or mobile apps. For labels, Pro is not a substitute for Label: the custom tier is the one that adds the team controls and account management that multi-artist operations require.
