In their own words
Bandcamp
Bandcamp is an online record store and music community where fans discover artists, follow their work, and support them directly. Artists can run customizable stores selling digital music and physical merchandise. Free fan accounts include playlists, wishlists, artist following, a music feed, a customizable collection page, and high-quality downloads of purchases. The free iOS and Android apps stream purchased music and support queues, playlists, and offline listening. Artists can also set monthly or annual subscriptions that offer releases, catalog items, subscriber-only music or merchandise, or community access. Bandcamp charges 15% on digital items and 10% on physical goods. The digital fee drops to 10% after $5,000 in sales if the artist maintains at least $5,000 in sales over the past 12 months. Pro for Artists costs $10 a month and includes Shopify inventory integration, batch uploads, private streams via links, and uploads up to 2 GB per track. Label Accounts start at $20 a month. Playlists are in beta and require a fan account; sampling unowned tracks is limited by artist settings, three plays by default.
