Questions
Reading the numbers
- Where do these rates come from?
- Aggregated from first-party royalty statements across a real catalog. Exact payouts vary by platform, country, tier, and your distribution terms.
- Do paid streams pay more than free?
- Yes. Subscription streams contribute more to local royalty pools than free, ad-supported streams.
- Does this include publishing?
- No. This is recording revenue from distribution. Publishing and songwriter royalties are a separate stream.
