Disctopia
Disctopia is a creator platform for indie musicians, podcasters, filmmakers, and authors, covering music, podcasts, films, videos, and audiobooks.

The merch store handles print-on-demand and self-fulfilled products, global shipping, and automatic tax calculation, with zero commission on sales. Filmmakers can share private links and offer pay-per-view or rental access; film playback is described as 4K-ready. Weekly creator payouts run through Stripe Connect once earnings clear $10. Disctopia offers a free plan and a 30-day trial; paid plans start at $6.99/mo. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web.
