Has Distrokid Recently Increased Their Prices for Musicians?

Yes, DistroKid did recently increase their prices. All subscription tiers saw an increase between 11% and 15%. Some examples of the new prices include:

  • Musician plan: $22.99/year (previously $19.99/year)
  • Musician Plus plan: $39.99/year (previously $35.99/year)
  • Ultimate plan (5 bands/artists): $89.99/year (previously $79.99/year)

The price increase happened quietly sometime in late December 2023/early January 2024. Existing users with active subscriptions at the time of the increase are not affected and will continue to pay the original price until their renewal date.

Distrokid Increases Prices by 15% and Don’t Tell Their Customers

Distrokid, one of the leading music distribution services, has recently announced a 15% price increase across all of its plans. This news has come as a surprise to many of its customers, who are now left wondering how this change will impact their music careers.

Distrokid’s previous pricing structure was based on an annual subscription fee, with different plans offering various features and services. With this recent increase, the cost of the basic plan will go up from $19.99 to $22.99, while the Musician Plus plan will increase from $35.99 to $41.49 per year.

Distrokid has cited several reasons for this price increase, including rising overhead costs and the need to invest in new technology and features to stay competitive in the music distribution market. Despite these reasons, some customers are concerned that the price hike will disproportionately impact smaller independent artists and labels.

Stripe Invoicing – Misses the Point!

Stripe has just launched a new invoicing tool to help its customers create invoices faster and more efficiently. However, it misses the point!

Stripe has offered invoicing options for some time within its standard platform, but now they have decided to segment it out and try to charge for something that was previously for Free (without telling anyone).

Additionally, the invoicing product only seems to be tailored to its current customer base, which is very tech / startup / businesses that require a developer heavy!

Oh… and I forgot to mention that they want to take 0.5% of your entire invoicing price just to provide you with super basic tech you really should be getting for Free.

No wonder this is getting heavily downvoted on ProductHunt!

Better luck next time Stripe. This could have been good, but missed the mark.
