BlinkDistro

What BlinkDistro is

BlinkDistro distributes music worldwide and gives independent artists tools to manage releases, performance and creative connections in The Hub. Its Starter plan is free and includes distribution to major music stores worldwide, unlimited releases, daily analytics on streams, downloads, audience demographics and engagement, and artist support. Starter artists keep 90% of royalties and can pitch to Spotify and Apple Music. BlinkPRO costs £5 a month and raises the royalty share to 100%, while adding pitches to TikTok, Amazon Music and YouTube Music. Other BlinkPRO features include Dolby Atmos uploads, Apple Music motion artwork and automatic chart registration. Release countdown pages are marked “Soon.” Cover song licensing is provided by EasySong, and artists retain ownership and control of their masters. If BlinkPRO ends, the account reverts to Starter and existing music stays live with a 90% royalty share. Withdrawals require a minimum of £5.00 through PayPal or £10.00 through Stripe. BlinkDistro is web-based.
