How much do I earn from each sale?
You keep 95% of the purchase price. TuneFreq charges 5%, plus Stripe's payment processing fee (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). So on a $10 sale, you'd earn about $9.45 after all fees. See our Pricing page and TuneFreq vs Bandcamp to get a full fee comparison.
What's the special $5k promo I keep hearing about?
During your first $5,000 in revenue, we waive the 5% platform fee. This means during those early sales, you keep an extra 5%. It's our way of helping artists bootstrap.
How do I get paid?
We process payouts weekly (every Monday) for your current balance. Connect your bank account via Stripe in Control Room—required before you can receive sales. There is no minimum payout. Funds typically arrive within 2-3 business days.
What file formats should I upload?
We accept MP3, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, and M4A. We recommend WAV or FLAC when uploading originals. We'll automatically generate MP3 and streaming-optimized versions.
What's bulk upload?
Upload many tracks at once! You can upload an entire album's worth of files in one go. We process them in parallel, so it's much faster than uploading one track at a time. Learn more in our Features section (bulk upload).
Can I set my own price?
Absolutely! You can set a fixed price, allow fans to name their price, or offer it completely free. It's completely up to you.
Do I retain rights to my music?
100%! You own everything. TuneFreq is just the storefront. You can sell your music elsewhere, too (Bandcamp, Apple Music, etc.). We're not exclusive. See For Artists and our philosophy to learn more.
What about taxes?
You're responsible to report your earnings and pay taxes in your jurisdiction. We provide detailed sales reports you can use during tax preparation. We don't withhold taxes (except where legally required in certain countries).
