Easy
Easy to use. Convienant on the run.
Musicians Beware!
DistroKid will hold your royalties hostage and completely ignore your requests for customer service. Save yourself some headache and use a different distributor. This is a company who only cares about its bottom line, not artists, not music. Dishonest and unethical.
je recommande
Un peu chère mais toujours moins que la concurrence pour un artiste aguerri. Je recommande vraiment
Not great
The distributor, distributes. Fast, effectively. BUT , if you have any issues cross posting your content, them flagging/claiming your monetization, good luck getting it straightened out. Their “chat bot” must have been activated on a floppy disk. SMH
Really good app, really easily to accidentally upgrade so be careful with that.
I love this app and features, but it upgraded me from the musician to the ultimate seemly randomly out of blue, support has not gotten back to me and it's been 5 days.
Amazing
Can’t believe how easy this was!
Not as smooth as claims
And once you encounter an issue? Prepare for it to get worse as they mishandle it. And it’ll be like pulling teeth trying to talk to an actual human.
Super App
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Super App und wirklich sehr einfach zu bedienen! Ich habe auch schon andere Plattformen ausprobiert, aber DistroKid gefällt mir bisher mit Abstand am besten. Gerade die Veröffentlichung der eigenen Musik auf so vielen Plattformen finde ich klasse – Spotify, Amazon Music und viele weitere sind direkt dabei. So erreicht man mit seinen Songs ein viel größeres Publikum. Auch die regelmäßigen Updates darüber, wo und wann ein Song veröffentlicht wurde, finde ich richtig gut. Man hat dadurch immer den Überblick und weiß genau, was gerade passiert. Insgesamt eine wirklich tolle und unkomplizierte App. 👍 Weiter so! Und vielleicht gibt es ja zukünftig auch ab und zu attraktive Angebote oder Rabatte für die Abos. 😊 Klare Empfehlung für alle, die ihre eigene Musik unkompliziert veröffentlichen möchten! 🎵
AI is taking over ts
i js need assistance from a real human i pay distro 158$ a year and they make me wait 1-2 hrs for help
Dollbaby
I am unhappy that somehow my name got misspelled. I had to use my 1 edit to fix it. Now I see sooo much stuff on YouTube under Dollbaby that I want to edit my name and I can’t bc I already used my edit on a spelling correction. It’s very frustrating. I’m not paying more money for multiple people when in fact it’s just me wanting to edit my name. I think that is unfair. I have only uploaded 3 songs. I should still have the option to edit my name. I don’t want people searching for me and finding all that weird stuff that comes up.
Finally I can share my music!
Distrokid made uploading my music to different platforms so easy!
Horrible services
This is a big waste of money you guys steady charging me but not posting my music. im starting to hate this app and its most definitely about to get deleted
Just giving this app a try
So far so good. The only thing, I hate about this app is you don’t any info / stats. On the first plan. Not even how many times ur song has been played. You need upgrade to see that. With the exchange rate the prices are a lot.
Price
Yall have charged meee yooo much more than once! And I can’t go back and retrieve my music if my subscription cancelled. Work with the solo artist sometimes frfr
Christian
It’s OK but you have to put the YouTube music channel ID if we could just go back to the old way and used to do it and go to YouTube Music and put the YouTube Music code in that would be great
Class
Great app. Easy to manage , promote, and distribute your musical dreams!
Withdrawal Pending 18 Days — Unable to Reach Support
I’ve used DistroKid to distribute my music, but my experience trying to resolve a payment issue has been extremely frustrating. My ACH withdrawal of $2,617.41 has now been pending for 18 days. DistroKid’s own Bank page states that the payment is “taking longer than usual” and instructs me to contact customer service. The problem is that I have repeatedly attempted to do exactly that. I’ve gone through DistroBot multiple times and selected the live-agent option, only to wait without reaching a representative or be sent back through the automated process. I’ve also contacted DistroKid through other available channels without receiving a substantive explanation for the delayed withdrawal. I contacted Tipalti as well, and was directed back to DistroKid for payment support. I’m not asking for special treatment. I simply want a human representative to review my withdrawal, explain why it remains pending, and tell me what—if anything—is required from me to resolve it. I will gladly update this review if DistroKid resolves the issue, but after 18 days and repeated attempts to obtain human assistance, this has been an extremely disappointing support experience.
Little bit slow
The whole app is easy to use and set up what you want. But when you want to upload your staff is taking few days. This app is not free we pay for the services.
Es können viel mehr Ausgaben anfallen als man denkt. Ich muss jetzt leider die Reißleine ziehen.
DistroKid macht grundsätzlich gute Arbeit und bietet Künstlern viele Möglichkeiten, Musik weltweit zu veröffentlichen. Dafür bin ich dankbar. Was man aber wissen sollte: Viele Zusatzdienste verursachen zusätzliche laufende Kosten, die sich mit der Zeit stark summieren können. Dazu gehören zum Beispiel Social Media Pack / YouTube Content ID (ca. 5 € pro Song jährlich), Lyric Blaster (ca. 15 € pro Künstler jährlich), Mixea-Mastering oder auch DistroVid. Ich persönlich hatte irgendwann den Überblick verloren und Schwierigkeiten, bestimmte Zusatzdienste wieder zu kündigen oder die passenden Zugänge zu verwalten. Dadurch entstanden für mich deutlich höhere Ausgaben als ursprünglich erwartet. Deshalb habe ich mich entschieden, mein Musikprojekt künftig einfacher und übersichtlicher zu gestalten und mich von DistroKid und allen Zusatzdiensten zu verabschieden. Die Abos können leider nicht so einfach, wie man es gewohnt ist, gekündigt werden. Trotzdem wünsche ich anderen Künstlern viel Erfolg mit ihrer Musik.

Support sucks
Contacted support through chat. Not helpful for my issue. Contacted email support. Again, not helpful to my specific issue and they gave me an automatically generated generic response that did not apply to my situation. I tried to accomplish this on both the iOS app as well as using my computer on their desktop website. Completely unacceptable. I tried taking my release off of my account and it wouldn’t let me due to it requiring a password for verification. I don’t have a regular password since I log in with my Google account which was not an option for verification to delete my release. Either include Gmail account verification or offer a two-step authorization via your phone with text. This shouldn’t be such a hassle and that difficult. If it doesn’t get fixed soon I will cancel my subscription and go with another distributor. Again my reasoning for that is the inferior release removal setup and the lack of proper support.
Slick app
It’s a great app and easy to use. My only dissatisfaction was that I already had an account the app didn’t seem to recognize my previous work or subscriptions. I hope that will resolve itself in time.
poor customer service
distrokid work is good but their customer service absolutely bad, there is no way you can talk anyone even through the email you really don't get answer, they keep asking you to use robot for service, it is a 99% robotic app.
Great tool but sometimes infuriating
I admit it’s a nice tool to have… when it works. When making promo shorts it no longer will allow me to choose the part of the song to promote. I mean it’s there but no matter where you move the slider it just plays the first 30 seconds. Yes I have the most recent update and a good phone. It used to work but in the last week decided it was no longer going to function properly. It is nice to have access to the distrobot for help questions so it can feed me a pile of stuff unrelated to what I have an issue with. You have to beg it to let you speak to a representative. I guess all I use it for mostly it just to see if my stuff has been processed and delivered yet.
Exelente
Profesional
Monsters
Retaliated against a disabled person and dropped them from stores for threatening legal action for not distributing as advertised and as I paid for. This company will steal from a disabled person. How do you think they will treat you? I’ll see you in court thieves.
pretty good but one problem
easy to manage but theres a bug where you can’t add lyrics. other than that pretty good
The Most Basic mobile app
This app is so basic it’s almost useless, just stick to the browser version if you want to check stats etc
My first experience doing this it was fairly good
Definitely got the results I wanted however, when you realized you made a mistake on an album cover name, you should be able to change it with without having to have to buy a different membership. That’s just ridiculous.
Powerful
Distrokid is the most used underground helper in the world of those who want to change their life.
Don’t try bro
Biggest scam on earth do not download. It says it’s free but trust me ITS NOT
Paar Sachen fehlen noch
Die wichtigsten Sachen sind da. Einige Sachen wie Songtext bearbeiten fehlen noch. Und ein Dark Mode wäre wünschenswert

Un retour des musiques qui sont sur les playlist
Bonjour, j’aimerais bien comprendre ou avoir les liens pour accéder à ma musique et aussi pouvoir distribuer les liens pour que les personnes puissent me retrouver facilement Je n’ai pas tout ça et aussi avoir un contact pour échanger sur l’évolution pour que je puisse faire de nouveaux clients. À l’international. Cordialement de votre retour.
Excelente plataforma para artistas independientes
Mi experiencia con DistroKid ha sido excelente. La plataforma hace posible que artistas independientes podamos distribuir nuestra música en las principales plataformas de una manera accesible y profesional. Al principio tuve algunas dudas durante el proceso, pero una vez que entendí cómo funciona, todo resultó mucho más sencillo. Ver mi propia música encaminada hacia Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube y otras plataformas ha sido una experiencia increíble. Estoy muy satisfecho con el servicio y definitivamente seguiré utilizándolo para mis próximos lanzamientos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wrongful Termination
I would like a manager to review this editorial discretion. I believe that is wrong in many ways. I never had problems such as this I have been with distrokid for 27 months and had zero issues with any stores. I have requested resubmitting of recent of 2 albums for YouTube. But other than that. Everything has worked according as the agreement states. All my music is organic and created by me. In which I prove. Of all the platforms none have ever flagged me in 27 months. My music is organic, my music has been thru distrokid, and I have created all the music.
Pretty good
Just one thing, I didn’t like how you can’t have a predetermined release date unless you upgrade
Très déçue
J’ai voulu enregistrer une playlist de bruits blancs pour bébé. C’est une fois que j’ai payé l’abonnement + les suppléments que j’ai reçu un mail m’informant qu’ils refusent les « sons » car il n’y a pas de paroles et que ce n’est pas dans leur politique…et bien sûr ils ne m’ont pas remboursé. Alors faites attention avant de vous abonner car ils ont certains « critères » qu’ils vous énoncent une fois l’abonnement paye bien sur.
Doublement facturé
J’ai souscrit à l’abonnement ultimat de 81,99 car je souhaitais avoir toutes les fonctionnalités, mais à ma grande surprise j’ai été facturé deux fois pour je ne sais quelle raison, vous m’avez prélevé 81,99 puis 89,99 une deuxième fois ! Impossible de vous contacter et avoir des réponses. J’aime beaucoup DISTROKID mais je souhaitais être remboursé svp Merci beaucoup
Práctico y sencillo
Muy buena aplicación si eres principiante o intermedio en la música está esta es la plataforma para que empieces a darte a conocer en el mundo artístico.
Songs processing issue
It’s really disappointing and dissatisfying how difficult is to be able to get in touch with Distrokid when you run into an issue such as a scheduled song not releasing until months after it’s due date. I got an audience waiting for more music and i got even more tracks to release which i have not been able to do because i can’t get in touch with anyone regarding this.
Pretty Good
Missing lyric editing in the app unfortunately.
Bruh
It said 23$ now it’s 30$ bait ngl
No dan buen soporte.
Tengo un problema con mi pago de DistroKid que no me deja actualizar mi información de pago, ya puse 3 tarjetas diferentes y nada, como es posible?
LOVE
Thank y’all FOR EVERYTHING!!! Let’s go straight to the top!!!
Customer service sucks
Their product is great until you have any issue at all. Seriously, their customer service is non-existent. You cannot get anything done at all.
Good stuff
Easy to use but if I’m paying a yearly subscription to release my own music I shouldn’t have to pay extra to choose when it comes out
Hyphenated names
I have had to complete the tax form like 4 times and every time it says my name is wrong or it doesn’t match the name in line 1 of the form which I can’t find. Every time I have typed my name the same way, I have a hyphenated last name which the website won’t let me use so I just added the names without a hyphen and it still said they’re wrong and not matching. This has made my experience with this service not very enjoyable as how am I supposed to get payed for my music when they won’t even accept my name as a valid one.
Se cierra sesión en automático
Además de faltar opciones que si hay en la versión web, después de un tiempo de iniciar sesión se cierra automáticamente la sesión y se te pide hacer login de nuevo, lo que no es nada práctico para las notificaciones que promete hacer.
