Every time your song is streamed, the platform pays a small royalty. That money flows to whoever distributed your music, who then pays it to you — minus their cut. With a free distributor like Mazufa, that cut is 0%, so you keep 100%. Here's how it works.
Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music pay a per-stream royalty — a fraction of a cent that varies by service and country. Your distributor collects those royalties from every store and pays them out to you. The difference between distributors is the cut: a paid distributor may keep a commission (commonly 10–15%) or charge subscription/per-release fees, while a free distributor like Mazufa Records keeps 0% and charges nothing — so every cent your music earns stays yours.
| Streaming royalty | Mazufa Records | Typical paid distributor |
|---|---|---|
| Per-stream rate | Set by the platform | Set by the platform |
| Distributor's cut | 0% | 0–15% (varies by plan) |
| You keep | 100% | 85–100%, minus fees |
| Upfront cost | Free | Subscription or per-release fee |
| Rights ownership | You keep 100% | Usually 100% |
It varies by platform and country and is typically a fraction of a cent per stream. Earnings add up with volume, which is why keeping 100% (0% commission) matters.
