Free Music Distribution: Compare Commission and Release Limits
Illustration: WBBT Records.
Free distribution usually describes the subscription cost, not every commercial condition. Artist limits, commissions, review windows and optional services still shape the choice.
Put it into practice
Compare the full terms for your expected catalogue. WBBT's Free plan retains 30% distribution commission; paid artist plans advertise 0% commission under their applicable terms.
Put the decision into a release plan
Keep one catalogue record with artist names, versions, identifiers, rights and the intended release dates. Check the options available in your account before announcing destinations. Allow time to correct a rejected asset, and verify store links after delivery. For WBBT White-Label or Distributor API early access, ask sales for a tailored scope and quote rather than assuming fixed limits.
Your next step
Compare the full terms for your expected catalogue. Keep a short record of the decision and revisit it after your next completed project.
