Rubbish
Absolutely rubbish app. their website and customer support are completely rubbish. really not worth the bother.
Awful Support - Everything is Automated
Short: Licensed Splice sample match delayed release and received zero response for a week having paid for additional packages.
We uploaded a release and because our track contained a (licensed!) royalty free Splice sample, the system rejected it. Fair enough, I guess, that's automation - but I have a license and likely so do tens of thousands of creators for the same thing (it's just a crowd cheer 🙃)
Because of this issue our release has been delayed by a week. I have sent numerous emails with certified sample licenses and have received zero response.
Distrokid prioiritises profit via automation at the expense of the artist.
So do you want your life and soul's work to be at the mercy of that? Choose your own adventure... 🤷🏻♀️

Just a little review on my own experience
It needs more genres like Mexican music
Avoid.
Don’t use. When they take down your music (which they will) they’ll barely reply to your emails, if they reply at all. They’ll also drain you of as much money as they possibly can with their never ending fees. Don’t buy into the propaganda, put your music somewhere safe.
Great app
Got my music out to YouTube Spotify, Amazon within two days and probably more than I don’t even know about over 150 places your music can be listed. Well worth 25 a year.
Excelente app
Excelente app, la recomiendo al cien.
This is what happens to bigger artists do not use them ever.
Your team and people do not care about artists and what we do. All you do is make money off of us. One song with an uncleared sample of an album? Bam whole album gone. Ohh you got 1 million streams and plays bam you get $40 and a high five it’s just not right. No humans to talk to unless you go through a chat box that starts with an ai. and it’s got worse over the years I’ve used y’all. I’m tired and sick of how I am treated. I’m a number to you not an artist who cares. You are not good people you are hear to make money from me and that’s it. If you cared you would help. I will not be recommending you to any ever.

Thief
I purchased DistroKid’s cheapest plan, but while uploading my song, my subscription suddenly switched to the most expensive plan. My card was charged for an upgrade I never authorized. To me, this felt like theft.
Thankfully, my bank reversed the charge and returned my money. Without their help, I felt I had no way to resolve the issue. This experience completely destroyed my trust in DistroKid.

I am happy
DistroKid is just simple the best check it out now asap.
Very Disappointed
I paid leave a legacy and cover license and DistroKid deleted my album without giving me information and now I can’t talk to nobody about recovering my music that works so hard on.
And now they want me to re-upload it again without helping me.
Very displeasing to know that they would do that after I paid everything and put everything incorrectly. The first time they deleting everything from everything.

You can’t cancel paid extras without deleting your music
I’ve used DistroKid to distribute my music, but my experience with their paid Album Extras / Social Media Pack has been extremely disappointing.
DistroKid sells Social Media Pack as an optional annual add-on (for example, $14.95/year), but when you subscribe, there is no clear warning that you will later be unable to cancel it while keeping your release online.
I contacted support and explicitly asked them to stop all future renewals. Their answer was that future renewals cannot be stopped unless I delete the entire music release from streaming services and then re-upload it.
That means the choice they give customers is essentially: keep paying every year for an optional service you no longer want, or remove your established music from Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms.
Even after I explicitly told support that I did not authorize further renewals, additional Album Extra charges continued to appear on my account. DistroKid eventually refunded the most recent charges, which I appreciate, but they confirmed that the subscriptions themselves are still active and future renewals still cannot be cancelled without deleting my releases.
Support even told me that they are “looking into a better solution for managing Album Extras.”
This is not an acceptable way to handle an optional recurring subscription. Customers should be able to cancel a paid add-on without deleting their music catalog.
Until DistroKid provides a normal way to cancel Album Extras, I cannot recommend the service.

So Fast and Easy!
Love the app. Fast and easy uploads to all major music sites. Love the service.
A flood of Love
It seems as if an actual producer, hype man, and the whole ball of wax are taking part in delivering my single to the people! I’m digging this. Gratitude fasho to Zola NoPressure for seeing me thru. Get a bar of THAT brotha!
Do NOT trust DistroKid
Ive read lots online of people getting scammed by distrokid. It too happened to me. I was just simply on the app putting info in for a new release when all of the sudden I get an apple wallet notification saying i bought their highest plan. I had not been on that plan, and definitely did not click anything to buy it. I took screenshots of everything and sent emails and calls. I got on a live chat and they were being super shady. I had to make a few threats which I do not like to do so they would eventually give me money back. And instead of giving me my money back of course they did some weird thing where they refunded the rest of my current plan and half of the new ultimate plan, but I got to keep the upgraded plan for the rest of the year. I did the math and they made like a few dollars off me, still unacceptable. I immediately cancelled and deleted my account with them. Just be aware.
