7Days Digital

7Days Digital is a web-based music distributor for independent artists, with plans ranging from free releases to paid analytics and royalty collection. Its reach and release options make it a credible fit for artists distributing on their own; the right plan depends on whether keeping all royalties or adding services matters more.

Overview

Artists upload audio, artwork, and release details, then 7Days Digital sends the release to stores and platforms. The company says it reaches more than 100 platforms in over 200 countries and territories, including TikTok and Instagram Reels. Most releases go live within seven days, although some platforms take longer; artists can schedule a release date in advance.

A single dashboard brings together streams, listeners, and revenue across platforms. Artists retain ownership of their master recordings and compositions, granting 7Days Digital a limited, non-exclusive license to distribute them. The service also advertises human support, with email support on Free and Single and priority support on Pro.

Key features

Distribution and release management

The broad platform reach and scheduled release dates suit independent artists coordinating a launch across streaming and social services. The seven-day estimate is useful for planning, but it is not a guarantee: some platforms may take longer.

Analytics and royalty collection

Basic analytics are included on Free and Single; Pro adds advanced analytics and insights. Pro also includes Content ID and royalty collection. For royalties recovered from user-generated content, artists receive 80% and 7Days Digital retains a 20% collection fee, so this recovery service does not pay the full royalty amount.

YouTube channel monetization

A separate service offers creators 85% of generated YouTube revenue, with 7Days Digital taking 15% and charging no signup fee. It is aimed at creators who control their channel and content, live in a region where the YouTube Partner Program is unavailable or restricted, and comply with YouTube policies.

Pricing

Free removes the upfront cost and allows unlimited releases, but artists keep 80% of revenue. Single costs $9 for each release and raises the royalty share to 100%, while limiting the purchase to one single. Pro costs $29 per year and is the more practical choice for regular releases: it covers unlimited singles and albums and adds advanced analytics and collection tools. Labels managing several artists can ask about custom pricing for the multi-profile and team features.

Platforms

7Days Digital is available on the web. Its distribution reaches more than 100 platforms worldwide, including TikTok and Instagram Reels.

Who it's for

Independent artists who want broad distribution, release scheduling, and a choice between a free revenue-share plan and paid plans can match the service to their release pace. Free suits artists prioritizing no upfront cost; Single suits one-off singles when keeping all royalties matters; Pro fits artists releasing regularly or seeking advanced analytics and Content ID collection. Labels and teams can consider the custom Label plan. Artists seeking mobile apps should compare web-only services with options that also support Android and iOS.

Verdict
