BlinkDistro vs DistroKid

BlinkDistro distributes music worldwide and gives independent artists a web-based place to manage releases, performance, and creative connections in The Hub. Its free Starter plan includes distribution to major music stores, unlimited releases, daily analytics for streams, downloads, audience demographics, and engagement, and artist support. Starter artists keep 90% of royalties and can pitch to Spotify and Apple Music. BlinkPRO costs £5 a month and gives artists 100% of royalties, unlimited shortlinks, Dolby Atmos uploads, Apple Music motion artwork, and automatic chart registration, plus pitching to TikTok, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music. Release countdown pages are marked “Soon.” Cover song licensing is provided by EasySong. Artists retain ownership and control of their masters. If BlinkPRO ends, an account returns to Starter and existing music stays live with 90% royalties. Minimum withdrawals are £5.00 through PayPal or £10.00 through Stripe.
