Transparent Pricing That Actually Works

No hidden fees. No percentage-of-percentage calculations. Just simple math: you set the price, fans buy it, you keep 95%.

Your share of every sale

95%

Artist keep on each sale, after TuneFreq's platform fee and before payment processing.

We take 5% to run the marketplace—servers, refunds, and support for artists and labels. Card fees (about 1.65% + $0.30 per transaction) go to our payment provider, not us. Launch offer: your first $1,000 in revenue has 0% platform fees; after that, our 5% applies.

Fee breakdown for creators

  • Platform fee: 5% on sales—music, digital goods (preset packs, sample packs, ebooks), and subscriptions. Waived on your first $1,000 in revenue.
  • Payment processing: 1.65% + $0.30 per transaction to the processor.
  • No app-store tax: Fans buy and subscribe on the web—PWA-first, no 30% mobile store cut.

For listeners

  • Set the price yourself
    Many artists offer "pay what you want" or "tip jar" pricing. You decide what's fair.
  • Own your music, forever
    No subscriptions. No expiration dates. Buy it once, keep it for life.
  • High-quality downloads
    FLAC lossless, WAV, MP3 320kbps. Your choice of format.
  • Direct support
    Leave a note when you buy. The artist reads it themselves.
  • No data harvesting
    We don't track your listening habits or sell your data to advertisers.

  • You own 100% of your music and rights
    Your masters. Your metadata. Your fan relationships. We're the venue, not the label.
  • Weekly payouts every Monday
    No minimums. No delays. Direct to your bank account via our payment provider.
