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.

Stripe’s standard processing fee. Shown at checkout. No markup.

“10% is permanent. Not a launch offer.
Every fee, transparent.”

FAQ

Questions artists ask.

Yes. Our 10% is not a launch promotion or an introductory offer — it's the whole business model. Stripe separately charges their standard processing fee, shown transparently at checkout. Both fees are permanent.

Never. We use Stripe Connect direct charges — when a fan buys your music, the payment goes directly to your Stripe account. We take our 10% as an application fee at the point of sale. Your money is yours from the moment the transaction completes.

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

No. We take a flat 10%. Stripe charges their standard processing fee. Both shown at checkout — nothing hidden.

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.

Coming soon. You'll be able to generate unique download codes for gig merch bundles, press, or promotions. Codes will be single-use and trackable from your dashboard.

Coming soon. Pre-orders are on our roadmap — fans will be able to pay upfront and get the release on launch day.
