Hello.

The pros of distrokid are as follows:

  • No commission! You keep 100% of the revenue earned.
  • Unlimited songs for one yearly price
  • Unique Spotify and iTunes features
  • You can send your lyrics to Apple Music and iTunes
  • Ability to backup your songs in the cloud

Cons are as follows:

  • They charge a yearly fee for YouTube monetization on top of taking a commission
  • Reports and analytics are very basic unless you upgrade to more expensive plans
  • You need to keep paying the yearly fee to keep your songs on the stores

Hope this helps.
