How to Switch from LANDR to Kinjari
Migrating is straightforward and won't interrupt your existing releases.
Create Your Kinjari Account
Sign up at $3/month. You can explore the platform and start uploading straight away.
Release New Music Through Kinjari
Start distributing new releases through Kinjari while your existing catalog stays on LANDR. Get comfortable with the platform before migrating everything.
Migrate Your Back Catalog
When you're ready, move existing releases. Kinjari accepts your own UPC and ISRC codes, which helps preserve your streaming history. LANDR allows custom ISRCs but assigns its own UPCs. You have two options:
- • Full migration: Remove releases from LANDR and re-release through Kinjari using the same ISRCs. There will be a brief gap while platforms process the change.
- • Keep existing catalog on LANDR: Let your back catalog stay on LANDR (they'll apply the 85/15 split after cancellation) and release all new music through Kinjari.
Cancel LANDR When Ready
Once you're comfortable, let your LANDR subscription lapse at the end of its annual cycle. Note: LANDR assigns its own UPC codes, so migrating existing releases may require new UPCs when re-releasing through Kinjari.

Common Questions About Switching from LANDR
Everything you need to know about choosing Kinjari over LANDR.
What's the best alternative to LANDR for music distribution?
We believe Kinjari is one of the best alternatives to LANDR for independent artists. For $3/month, you get YouTube Content ID at the base tier, a lower YouTube revenue cut (10% vs LANDR's 20%), professional biolinks with analytics, file sharing with expiring links, revenue splits, unlimited releases, unlimited artist aliases, and distribution to 100+ platforms.
Does LANDR offer monthly billing for distribution?
LANDR's distribution-only plans (Basic at $23.99/year and Pro at $44.99/year) are billed annually. LANDR does offer monthly billing on their Studio plans, but those start at $19.99/month and include mastering and sample tools alongside distribution. Kinjari bills monthly at $3/month.
How does LANDR's YouTube Content ID work compared to Kinjari?
LANDR requires the Distribution Pro plan ($44.99/year) for YouTube Content ID access and takes a 20% cut of all Content ID revenue. Kinjari includes Content ID in the base $3/month plan, and YouTube revenue falls under the standard 10% commission - half the deduction. For an artist earning $50/month from YouTube, that's $5/month to Kinjari vs $10/month to LANDR.
LANDR offers 100% royalties. Isn't that better than Kinjari's 90%?
With LANDR, you keep 100% of your royalties while your subscription is active. However, LANDR requires annual upfront payment, Content ID is only available on the Pro tier, and they take a 20% cut of YouTube Content ID revenue. Kinjari's 10% commission covers everything in one plan - Content ID, biolinks, expiring share links, and more - with no hidden cuts on specific revenue streams.
Can I bring my own UPC and ISRC codes to Kinjari?
Yes. Kinjari accepts both your own UPC and ISRC codes. LANDR allows you to bring your own ISRC codes but assigns its own UPCs - you cannot use a custom UPC on LANDR. If you're migrating from LANDR, you can bring your ISRCs across to preserve streaming history, but you'll need new UPCs.
What features does Kinjari include that LANDR doesn't?
Kinjari includes several features LANDR's distribution plans don't offer: professional biolinks (link-in-bio pages at kinjari.me with 4 templates and analytics), file sharing with expiring links for sending unreleased tracks to collaborators or labels, a visual release calendar, and unlimited artist aliases. These are all included in the base $3/month plan.
Does Kinjari distribute to as many platforms as LANDR?
Kinjari distributes to 100+ platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, TikTok, Beatport, and more. LANDR distributes to 150+ stores. Both platforms cover all major streaming services that matter for independent artists.
What happens to my music if I cancel?
With both platforms, your music stays live on streaming platforms after cancellation. The royalty split changes: Kinjari adjusts from 90/10 to 60/40, and LANDR adjusts from 100/0 to 85/15. Neither platform charges takedown fees.
