Flat fee digital music distributor TuneCore has added a new by-the-month pricing option.. Albums can now be distributed to iTunes, Spotify, AmazonMP3 and other digital stores and services for a flat fee of $4.99 per month.
That's effectively $59.88 per year and the recurring charge can be canceled at any time. This new offer is in addition to existing pricing of $49.99 a year per album and $9.99 a year for a single release.
Monthly pricing may be attractive to some cash strapped artists anxious to release their music. But it's also away for TuneCore to potentially increase revenue while still maintaining popular existing pricing options.
