What Happens to Your Music If You Cancel DistroKid?

Getting your tracks onto major streaming platforms is an exciting milestone for any independent artist, but it is important to understand how annual subscriptions work behind the scenes. If you decide not to renew your plan, your music will be removed from services and digital stores altogether.

Unlike traditional record labels or distribution models that take a percentage of your streaming royalties, DistroKid keeps 100% of your earnings by charging a flat yearly fee. These subscriptions are billed annually, specifically on the exact date when you first signed up and paid for your account.

If that payment fails or you choose to let your subscription lapse, stores like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music will automatically take your catalog down. To prevent your releases from disappearing unexpectedly, it is always wise to keep your billing information up to date or plan ahead if you ever decide to transition to a different distribution service.
