How Is MusicDigi Better Than CdBaby, & TuneCore?

We've put together some key things that you need to know about MusicDigi and how we stack up against our competitors.

CD BABY VS MUSICDIGI

 

CD Baby charges $9.95 for a single and $49.00 to upload an album while also taking 9% of your sales revenue. They charge $20.00 for UPC codes, as well. They even take 30% of YouTube revenue. This adds up fast. 

 

With MusicDigi, you only pay an annual membership of $39.99 to release unlimited albums and singles as often as you'd like for no additional fee. We provide UPC and ISRC free of charge, too.  

 

MusicDigi also offers ringtone distribution, which CD Baby does not. CD Baby only offers 95 stores, while MusicDigi offers 100+ digital stores and services. More is better, right?

 

TUNECORE VS MUSICDIGI

 

MusicDigi is much less expensive, and gets your music into stores faster. TuneCore charges $49.99 per year per album, $29.99 for the first year. MusicDigi charges $39.99 per year and lets you upload unlimited songs and albums. 

 

Tunecore charges you to add additional stores with a $1.98 fee per store. MusicDigi does not charge you anything extra for adding stores. MusicDigi also offers Spotify windowing, which Tunecore doesn't. You can read more about this great feature below. 

 

In case you make a mistake on your release, MusicDigi is there to make it easy to fix. You can edit your releases after they go live. If you need to take it down and re-upload, it won't cost you anything extra because distribution is unlimited. TuneCore doesn't let you edit your release, and you'll have to take it down and pay again in order to make any changes.  

 

Additionally, Tunecore charges $19.99 per year for ringtones, while MusicDigi offers this service for just a one-time fee of $9.99. 

 

MusicDigi does not charge any extra fees per release(s) or nickel and dime you for each store. You pay only $39.99 per year to upload unlimited music to stores like iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, Deezer, and many more. 

 

In addition, MusicDigi one of the only distributor to offer "Spotify windowing," this is a free feature for MusicDigi members that lets you place your album exclusively on Spotify’s premium tier two weeks ahead of your official release date. Plus, we get your music in stores faster than other distributors and offer lots of exclusive features that make life easier for musicians.
