The Industry is Broken.
Most distributors charge you for the “privilege” of making them money. We flipped the script. Here is the cold, hard math.

Your Insound profit
£8.65
After our flat 10% and Stripe's standard processing fee. Paid instantly. No annual subscription.
To match this on Spotify, you need:
16,981
Streams to cover fee + match profit
“On streaming, your first 14,191 streams every year simply pay for your
£43.99 distribution fee. On insound., you're profitable from sale #1.”
The Fine Print Comparison
Calculated for a UK-based Independent Artist
| Feature | insound. | The “Machine” |
|---|---|---|
| Annual subscription | £0.00 | £43.99 via TuneCore |
| Commission / fee | 10% flat Stripe processing shown at checkout | 0%* *Plus hidden admin fees |

The bottom line: On streaming services, you don't just need fans; you need thousands of fans just to pay for the “privilege” of being listed. On insound, your first supporter puts you in profit.
