Common questions
What does Insound cost?+
No monthly fee, no subscription. Insound takes 10% of each sale and absorbs all Stripe processing fees out of that cut. Artists keep 90%. More on this →
Why do you take less than Bandcamp and Artcore?+
We use Stripe Connect direct charges, which means lower infrastructure costs and no fund-holding overhead. We pass those savings to artists. More on this →
Why no PayPal?+
PayPal holds funds, charges higher fees, and adds a middleman between fans and artists. Stripe Connect lets us route payments directly into artist accounts at the point of sale. More on this →
Do I keep ownership of my music and my fan data?+
Yes. Insound never claims ownership of your music, masters, or publishing rights. Your fan data is yours. More on this →
Can I leave Insound and take everything with me?+
Yes. You can remove your music and close your account at any time. Your Stripe earnings are already in your account. No lock-in, no penalty. More on this →
How do payouts work?+
When a fan buys your music, 90% goes straight to your Stripe account. Stripe clears new earnings in about 7 days, then pays out to your bank daily. More on this →
Is there a mobile app?+
Insound is a progressive web app (PWA). Add it to your home screen from your browser and it works like a native app — no app store needed. More on this →
What's your policy on AI-generated music?+
AI-generated music is not permitted on Insound. If artists use AI in their artwork, we have a disclosure flag for transparency. More on this →
