Ditto Music review

Ditto Music has the lowest yearly subscription we compared: Starter costs $19 per year and covers unlimited releases for one artist to more than 150 platforms. Ditto states that 100% of streaming income stays with the artist on every plan, and Starter already includes auto-split royalty payments, pre-save smartlinks, analytics, playlist submissions and instant Spotify verification. Collaborators can create a free account to view and withdraw their share, which helps bands and producer teams. The Pro plan at $59 per year adds a second artist, sync pitching for TV and film, publishing royalty collection, YouTube Content ID and Official Artist Channel setup, exact release times and priority support. The catch is that publishing and sync income on Pro and Labels carries a 15% commission. Plans are billed yearly, and you can upgrade or downgrade with a prorated difference. For an artist who wants the core of distribution at the lowest fixed price, Ditto is the value pick.
