SonicCritic vs Lyricritic

SonicCritic - streaming that actually pays artists. Your $10.99/month doesn't disappear into a royalty black box. 88% of net revenue goes directly to the artists you stream. Not a pool. Not a formula. Direct. WHY SONICCRITIC EXISTS SonicCritic was built by an independent artist who spent six years watching streaming payouts round down to zero. The major platforms pay fractions of a cent per stream, harvest your listening data, and bury independent music under algorithmic playlists designed to keep costs low - not to help you find music you love. We built the opposite. HOW IT WORKS One subscription: $10.99/month 88% of net revenue (after payment processing) goes to the artists you actually listen to Every artist on the platform owns their music and licensed it directly - no middlemen taking a cut before it reaches them PRIVACY-FIRST, ALWAYS We don't harvest your listening data. We don't sell your habits to advertisers. We don't build a profile on you. You listen; artists get paid; that's the whole business model. DISCOVERY THAT WORKS FOR YOU No pay-for-placement playlists. No algorithm optimizing for the cheapest stream. Discovery on SonicCritic is community-driven - real listeners surfacing real music, so what rises is what people actually love. FOR ARTISTS If you're an independent artist who owns your masters and compositions, SonicCritic is the most direct path from your fans' subscriptions to your pocket. Upload your catalog, keep your rights, and earn 88% of the net revenue your listeners generate. THE BOTTOM LINE Streaming doesn't have to be extractive. Fans want to support artists. Artists want to be paid fairly. SonicCritic connects the two - transparently, directly, and without anyone's data being the product. Download SonicCritic and hear where your money goes.

Lyricritic turns music opinions into something social. Everything Lyricritic reviews and scores lives right in the app — but the real fun starts when you add your own take. Rate albums and singles by comparing them head-to-head against everything else you've heard, or just score them manually. Either way, you end up with a real, personal ranked list of your taste — not just a pile of star ratings. Rank what you actually listen to Search any album, single, or artist and rate it. Compare two albums and pick which one's better, or score it manually track by track. Browse an artist's full discography if you can never remember album names. See your friends' taste, not just an algorithm's Follow friends and watch their ratings, concert check-ins, and reactions show up in your feed. See both your own score and the real community average on everything. Log every show Track concerts you've been to — rate the atmosphere, setlist, and sound separately, attach a photo or video, and see it all lined up next to the albums you've rated. Never miss what's coming next A daily poll pits two picks against each other — vote, or admit you haven't heard either one yet. Editorial "if you love this, try this" recommendations point you toward your next favorite artist. Build a profile that's actually about your music taste Answer prompts like favorite album, guilty pleasure, and the song stuck on repeat — each one backed by real cover art, not just text. Lyricritic brings comparative ranking and social feeds to music — rate what you hear, see what your friends rate, and build a real taste profile.
