What does it cost?

Nothing to join and no yearly fee. You keep 85% of your earnings and Stop One keeps 15%, and every service on this page comes with that one plan.

Do I keep my rights?

Yes. Your masters stay yours. Stop One distributes your music; you own it.

How fast does my release go live?

As fast as 24 to 48 hours. We recommend submitting 7 to 14 days ahead so every store fully processes it, it can land on Spotify Release Radar, and there's time to pitch playlists.
