SonicCritic vs Somewhere FM

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.

Somewhere FM is live radio from all over the world, on a globe you turn with your finger. Drag the Earth and stations fade in and out as you pass over them, like a dial crossing a continent. Rest somewhere and it settles on one voice. Turn with two fingers where a city holds several stations. Tap SOMEWHERE and you are carried to a place that is on air right now. THE HOUR, WHERE THEY ARE Every station shows the time on its own wall, the sun or the moon over it, and its weather. Somewhere FM talks a little too: witty by day, tender by night, never while you are listening hard. A PASSPORT Listen for a minute in a new country and it is stamped in your passport, in that country's own language. Stamped countries glow on the globe. Each month becomes a postcard with your radio personality on it, ready to send. TOGETHER, QUIETLY When someone else is hearing the same station, you will know: "Someone in Portugal is listening with you." Tap to send them a wave. No names, no chat, nothing to follow. FOLLOW THE HOUR, AND SLEEP Let the radio travel with the time of day on its own, or fade out as you fall asleep. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Your passport and the places you keep stay on your phone. Stations are public streams from their broadcasters, credited by name and played as they are. Weather from MET Norway.
