TuneCore vs SoundCloud

How Is TuneCore Better Than SoundCloud?

Unlike our competitors – including SoundCloud – we offer music distribution, music publishing, and audience development, all under one roof. That means we support you at every stage of your career, not just the ones where you’re putting music online.

What Does TuneCore Offer?

1. 1

   Distribute to 150+ Music Stores

   We get your music into 150+ music stores across the globe – twice as many as SoundCloud. More stores means more fans, more streams, and more money.

2. 2

   Music Publishing

   You can add TuneCore Publishing to any paid plan and ensure your royalty collection and music distribution happens under one roof. We offer it; SoundCloud doesn’t.

3. 3

   TuneCore Accelerator

   TuneCore offers access to the TuneCore Accelerator, which includes the Spotify Discovery Mode, helping you get your music in front of a wider audience and featured in key Spotify playlists—a unique advantage that SoundCloud does not provide.

4. 4

   Payout Threshold

   SoundCloud has one; we don’t. Get paid out when you want for how much you want – no amount is too big or small.

5. 5

   $5 Mastering

   SoundCloud offers AI Mastering for $59 dollars. We dropped the “9” and offer professional mastering results at the entry level price of $5.

6. 6

   Believe Music Support

   We’re backed by one of the biggest music conglomerates in the world and can offer major-label value to independent artists. SoundCloud can’t.
