For just $3/month, you can distribute unlimited music and keep 90% of your streaming royalties. ### How much does Kinjari cost?

There are no hidden fees, per-release charges, or annual commitments. Cancel anytime. ### Can I cancel anytime? Yes, you can cancel your Kinjari subscription at any time.

We never hold your music hostage, so you can let us know at any time if you wish to remove it. ### What payment methods do you accept?

Our approval process takes 1-2 weeks. Once approved, your music is sent to stores the same day. Stores then add their own processing time on top, which varies by platform. We recommend submitting your music at least 2-4 weeks before your intended release date to account for both steps. ### Can I choose which platforms? Yes! Kinjari allows you to select which streaming platforms and stores you want to distribute your music to. You can choose all 100+ platforms or pick specific ones that align with your genre and audience. ### Does Kinjari support Beatport? Yes! Kinjari includes [Beatport distribution](https://www.kinjari.com/beatport-distribution) for electronic music producers at no extra cost. Beatport is included in your $3/month subscription. ### Can I get my music on TikTok and Instagram? Yes! Kinjari distributes your music to TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, and other social media platforms so users can create content with your music. This is a powerful way to grow your audience organically. Ownership & Rights ---------------------- ### Do I keep ownership of my music? Yes! You retain **100% ownership** of your music, masters, and copyrights when you distribute with Kinjari. We simply act as your distributor to get your music onto streaming platforms. You can leave Kinjari anytime and take your music with you. ### Can I use multiple distributors? Generally, no. Using multiple distributors for the same release can create duplicate entries on streaming platforms, which violates most platforms' terms of service. However, you can use different distributors for different releases or albums. ### How do I handle copyright claims? If someone makes a copyright claim against your music, Kinjari provides support to help resolve the issue. Make sure you have proper documentation proving you own the rights to your music. Our support team can guide you through the dispute process. YouTube ContentID ----------------- ### What is YouTube ContentID? YouTube ContentID is YouTube's automated copyright detection system that scans all videos uploaded to the platform and identifies when your music is used. When enabled, you can monetize any video that uses your music, even if you didn't upload it yourself. ### Do I get YouTube ContentID with Kinjari? Yes, Kinjari includes [YouTube ContentID](https://www.kinjari.com/youtube-contentid) for all users at no extra cost. Switching Distributors ---------------------- ### Can I switch from DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby or any other distributor? Yes! You can easily migrate from any music distributor to Kinjari. To keep your stream counts and playlist placements, make sure to use the same ISRC and UPC codes when uploading to Kinjari. You will need to upload your releases to Kinjari first, wait for them to go live, then take down the old releases from your previous distributor. Its that simple! Royalties & Payments ------------------------ ### How are royalties calculated? Streaming royalties are calculated based on the number of streams your music receives and each platform's per-stream rate. Kinjari pays out 90% of all royalties earned. You can request withdrawal once you reach the $5 minimum threshold. Use our [streaming royalties calculator](https://www.kinjari.com/artist-tools/streaming-royalties-calculator) to estimate your potential earnings. ### When do I get paid? We calculate royalties and credit them to your account as soon as we receive them from stores. Once you reach the $5 minimum you can request a payout via your account. Technical Requirements ---------------------- ### What audio formats do you accept? Kinjari accepts high-quality **WAV or FLAC** files for music uploads. We recommend 16-bit or 24-bit audio with a sample rate of 44.1kHz or higher for the best sound quality on streaming platforms. ### What happens if I cancel? If you cancel your Kinjari subscription, your music will remain live in all platforms and stores. We won't take your music down just because you don't have a subscription. That's not very nice!
