DistroKid operates as a digital music distribution platform that simplifies the process for musicians to get their music onto major streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, TikTok, and Google Play. The company serves independent artists, bands, and music producers who seek to distribute their music globally without the complexities and costs associated with traditional music distribution channels.

DistroKid's business model is subscription-based, allowing users to upload an unlimited number of songs for a fixed annual fee. This model contrasts with traditional distributors that often charge per release or take a percentage of the earnings. By keeping 100% of their earnings, artists can maximize their revenue from streaming platforms.

The company operates in the global digital music market, which has seen significant growth due to the increasing popularity of streaming services. DistroKid's value proposition includes faster distribution times, ease of use, and affordability, making it an attractive option for independent musicians looking to reach a wider audience.

Revenue is generated primarily through subscription fees, with additional income from optional services such as YouTube monetization, store maximizer, and Shazam & iPhone Siri integration.
