BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
A lower fee or
a higher royalty share?
Both options let you retain ownership. Your royalty share and distribution fee are the key differences.
Partnership
A lower upfront distribution fee with an 80% artist royalty share. Explore the marketing discounts available with your package.
Non-Partnership
A higher distribution fee with a 100% artist royalty share. Choose and pay for any additional marketing separately.
Know what is included
Distribution sends your release to platforms. Promotion is a separate service unless your package explicitly includes it. Pitching does not guarantee playlist placement.
Check the selected product's billing period, release limits and extras before paying. Read payment terms ↗
02 / YOUR RELEASE PROCESS
From your first choice
to your next release.
Buying a plan starts your release submission. Your music still needs to be submitted and reviewed before it can go live.
Choose your plan
Select Single, EP, Album or Unlimited, then choose Partnership or Non-Partnership.
Use your voucher
After purchase, find your activation voucher in your account and confirmation email. Use it to start or link your release.
Submit for review
Provide your audio, artwork and release details. Allow time for review and each platform's processing before your intended release date.
Manage your release
Follow available updates in your account. Use the website or app to manage your release activity.
Working towards a specific release date? Contact us to confirm the current lead time before purchasing.
03 / GET RELEASE-READY
A little preparation.
A clearer submission.
Have your release materials ready, then follow the upload requirements shown in your account.
Your audio & artwork
Prepare your final masters and cover artwork. Check the current accepted formats and dimensions before uploading.
Your release details
Gather your artist name, track titles, credits and intended release date. Keep names and spelling consistent.
Your rights & permissions
Make sure you can distribute the recordings and artwork. Ask about covers, samples or third-party material before submitting.
04 / CHOOSE WITH CONFIDENCE
Know the service.
Meet the business.
Take time to read artist feedback and understand the terms before choosing your release plan.

Choosing a royalty share is different from transferring ownership of your music.
One account, connected activity
Manage your releases across the website and app. On your phone, download the app for pricing, product details and purchases.
Support before you commit
Ask about your release goals, catalogue or package requirements. Contact us ↗
Which release format should I choose?
Choose Single, EP or Album for that release type. Explore Unlimited for ongoing releases or a catalogue. Check the selected plan's track, artist and release limits before purchasing.
Do I keep ownership of my music?
Yes. Partnership offers an 80% artist royalty share and Non-Partnership offers 100%. Neither arrangement transfers ownership of your music.
Is the payment one-off or recurring?
The plans are described on an annual basis. Review the selected product and checkout for the billing period, renewal arrangement and applicable charges. A yearly fee should not be understood as a lifetime payment. Read payment terms.
Are playlisting and promotion included?
Do not assume a campaign is included with distribution. Partnership provides access to marketing discounts; check the package for exact inclusions. Editorial teams make placement decisions, so pitching cannot guarantee acceptance, streams or earnings.
When will my release go live?
Review and platform processing affect availability. Confirm the current lead time before setting a release date, and allow time to correct any submission issues. Contact us about your release date.
How and when are royalties paid?
Your artist share depends on the chosen plan. Reporting and payment timing depend on platform reports and the applicable account terms. Confirm withdrawal methods, minimums and any fees with our support team before choosing a plan.
Can I move an existing release to AK Tunez?
Contact us before removing your release from another distributor. Share its current store links and release identifiers so the team can advise on the appropriate process.
What happens if I cancel or need a takedown?
Check the terms and conditions and payment terms for the applicable cancellation and refund conditions. Ask support about a takedown and its timing before making changes.
How do I buy on my phone?
