Indiefy vs ONErpm

Indiefy is a web-based music distribution service for independent artists, sending releases to more than 150 platforms worldwide, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Deezer and Pandora. Artists upload a track, enter release details and can generate cover art from the title, then edit it. Before submission, the dashboard allows changes to metadata, selected services and cover art. Indiefy describes distribution as non-exclusive and says artists retain ownership of their music. Analytics show streams, top tracks and territories; PRO adds pre-save campaigns and Spotify playlist submissions. Release timing is typically 5–7 business days on paid plans and 15–30 business days on the free plan. Free allows one artist and one release per month, an 85% royalty split and a $100 minimum royalty payment. PRO costs $49.00 per year for five artists and 25 monthly releases, with a 100% split and a $50 minimum payment. Advanced costs $199.00 per year for 50 artists and 100 monthly releases, with PRO features. Royalty withdrawals are available 30 days after request for PRO and 90 days after for free users; platform reports may be delayed 2–3 months.
