Human Arts
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

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