Start free on Spotify and Apple Music using our digital music distribution platform. Upgrade to reach 150+ platforms, manage unlimited releases, and collect every royalties stream you've earned across global markets.
Every play generates royalties, but registered artists, musicians, and independent label teams actually collect them. Mechanical royalties, performance royalties, and sync rights require active registration. Without it, your revenue sits uncollected with PROs and platforms indefinitely.
Mogul's paid distribution services handle publishing registration automatically so when your music blows up, every dollar finds its way back to your audience and team.
See plans →Traditional distribution companies charge separately just to send your tracks to a single distributor. Mogul bundles digital music distribution with royalty tracking services, publishing administration, and analytics for independent artists.

No credit card required. No annual fee for artists and musicians releasing music.
Those services charge an annual fee for distribution on its own. Mogul bundles distribution with royalty registration, monitoring, and analytics instead. Getting on Spotify and Apple Music costs $0, and paid plans start at $5 a month billed annually, which includes registration across the MLC, the PROs, and SoundExchange. The comparison table above breaks it down feature by feature.
Distribution and registration pay you from different pots. Your distributor collects on the recording. The composition earns separately through the MLC and your PRO, and only if the song is registered there. The streams happen either way. Without the registration, that money sits uncollected.
Yes, on a paid plan. Delivery to TikTok and Instagram Reels is part of the 150+ platform release, along with the rest of the major streaming services and stores.
Release scheduling comes with the paid plans, and it is worth using. Platforms and playlist editors want a release delivered ahead of the date, so scheduling gives your song time to clear review and get pitched before it goes live.
Unlimited releases come with the paid plans, so you can put out as many singles, EPs, and albums as you want on one flat subscription. The free plan is built for getting your first songs onto Spotify and Apple Music. If you release often, upgrading is the better fit.
You do. Releasing through Mogul transfers no ownership of your masters or your compositions. You keep your rights and 100% of your royalties.
No, on every plan including the free one. You keep 100% of your earnings. Most distributors either charge an annual fee or keep a share of your revenue. Mogul does neither.
Free covers Spotify and Apple Music and includes the artist tools platform. Paid adds 150+ platforms, unlimited releases, release scheduling, and delivery to TikTok and Instagram Reels. Paid plans also handle registration, which is what gets your mechanical and performance royalties collected. Plans start at $5 a month, billed annually.
Spotify and Apple Music. Upgrading opens up 150+ platforms, including TikTok and Instagram Reels, plus unlimited releases and release scheduling.
Yes. No annual fee, no per-release fee, and no credit card to start. Free releases go to Spotify and Apple Music, and you keep 100% of what they earn. Mogul makes money when artists upgrade for wider reach and royalty registration, not by taking a cut of your streams.
