Why now

The industry isn't changing.
So we built something new.

Bandcamp sold twice. Artist trust is broken.

Spotify: ~£0.00 per stream. 333,000+ to earn £1,000.00.

Insound bootstrapped. No investors. No pressure to raise cut.

We only make money when you make money - 10%, nothing else.

Processing fees? We absorb them. Your 90% is your 90%.

“You keep 90%. We absorb the rest.
Permanently.”

FAQ

Questions artists ask.

Yes. Our 10% is not a launch promotion or an introductory offer - it's the whole business model. We absorb Stripe's processing fees out of our 10%, so you always keep exactly 90%.

No. We use Stripe Connect - when a fan buys your music, 90% goes straight to your Stripe account. Stripe holds new earnings for about 7 days (their standard clearing period, not ours), then pays out to your bank daily - automatically, no fees. If you need money sooner, you can withdraw instantly for a small Stripe fee (~1%).

WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and MP3. We recommend lossless where possible - your fans deserve the best quality.

No. You keep 90%. We take 10% and absorb all processing fees out of our cut. What you see is what you get.

Always. Uploading to Insound gives us nothing except permission to host and sell your music on your behalf. You own everything, forever.

No. It costs nothing to sign up, nothing to upload, and nothing per month. We only make money when you make a sale.

You can remove your music at any time. Your Stripe earnings are already in your account - we never hold them. No lock-in, no penalty.

Yes. Every release has a minimum price and fans can pay more if they choose. Many artists find fans voluntarily pay well above the minimum.

You can generate unique download codes from your dashboard - perfect for gig merch bundles, press, or promotions. Codes are single-use and trackable.

Yes! You can enable pre-orders on any release. Fans pay upfront and get the release on launch day.
