TikTok's (ByteDance's) music distribution service: free delivery to TikTok and major DSPs with artist tools integrated into the platform. A Feb 2026 payout change made royalties from ByteDance surfaces 100% permanently while adding a 10% fee on DSP income after each release's first year.
- Best for
- Artists whose growth engine is TikTok. TikTok-first independent artists and small labels seeking inexpensive distribution and social promotion.
- Skip if
- Your audience isn't short-form video. You need dependable human support, tight release deadlines, predictable account appeals and takedown, or your audience isn't on TikTok.
- First move
- Move one single here and A/B its TikTok performance. Test Lite with one single, choose its strongest TikTok clip and submit at least three weeks early.
- Watch out
- Terms have now shifted twice; the model favors TikTok-first artists, and catalog income from Spotify/Apple takes the 10% haircut from year two. Derivative uploads (sped-up/slowed edits) are auto-flagged and redirected.
- Reach
- Industry-wide
- When
- Useful from day one.
