TuneCore

Believe-owned distributor on annual subscription pricing with a publishing administration arm; catalog remains live only while the subscription is active, and legacy per-album plans renew at $56.49/yr.

Best for
Distribution plus publishing administration in one account. Independent artists releasing several projects annually who want distribution, analytics and publishing tools in one account.
Skip if
You release rarely; annual fees only pay off at volume.
First move
Price your next 12 months of releases against DistroKid.
Watch out
Catalog delists the year you stop paying and legacy per-album renewals jump to $56.49/yr; publishing admin locks in your compositions — read the term length before signing.
Reach
Industry-wide
When
Worth it once you have releases out.
