Human Arts is the music streaming app where your contribution goes directly to the artists you actually listen to — not a global pool, not a corporate algorithm. YOUR MONEY, YOUR ARTISTS Most streaming services split all subscription revenue across every play on the platform, so the top 1% take everything and indie artists earn fractions of a penny. Human Arts splits your money user-centrically: only among the artists YOU played that month, weighted by how much you listened. Pay $15.99/month for unlimited listening — $11.19 of that goes to the artists you actually played. Or listen free with ads — the rewarded video revenue still flows to your artists. Either way, 70% of what HART earns from you goes to the music you love. REAL HUMANS ONLY No AI-generated music. Every artist on the platform certifies their work is human-made. We review reports actively. The music you discover is the music a real person made. DISCOVER YOUR PORT Set your home community ("port") and we surface artists from your scene first. Touring artists get discovery boosts in every city they play. Local Talk, show RSVPs, port reports, and weekly leaderboards make Human Arts a place to find music AND find your scene. LIVE SHOWS, IN YOUR POCKET Browse upcoming shows from artists you listen to, vote on hot shows, RSVP, comment, and join the show-day chat that opens 7 days before and closes 1 day after. Real musicians often play within driving distance — we make that visible. JOIN AN ARTIST'S CREW For artists who run paid fan clubs ("Crews"), join and get early track access, message-board access, and a top-1% listener badge if you're one of their biggest supporters. Subscriptions to artist Crews are managed on humanarts.cc. FEATURES • Stream music with offline downloads • User-centric payouts (your money only to artists you play) • Set a home port to surface local artists • Discover live shows in your community and on tour • Show comments + chat (open 7 days before through 1 day after) • Local Talk discussion board with tagged posts • Weekly listening challenges + badges • Listening streaks • Top 1% listener recognition with free Crew access • Realtime library sync between web and mobile • Background audio + lock screen / AirPlay controls • Two listening tiers: $15.99/mo unlimited OR free with rewarded ads Subscriptions are sold on humanarts.cc. The iOS app is a listener for content the user signed up for on the web (Reader exemption — App Store Guideline 3.1.3(a)).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Human Arts at none against MixVault's 1. MixVault's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
