OMD vs TuneCore: Which Music Distributor is Right for You in 2025?

If you’re an independent artist in 2025, the question isn’t should you distribute your music. It’s where should you distribute it.
For years, platforms like TuneCore have led the way with easy upload tools and access to all the major DSPs. But today, artists are looking for more than access. They want momentum. They want a platform that helps them grow.
That’s where Oneofakind Music Distribution, or OMD, comes in.

Pricing and Revenue Model

TuneCore offers a few different plans, from £9.99 for beginners to £49.99 for more advanced needs. Artists keep 100 percent of their royalties, but support with marketing and promotion comes at an extra cost. And often, it’s handled through third parties.

OMD takes a different route. For £19.99 per year, individual artists get full distribution coverage. But more importantly, artists who qualify for OMD’s royalty based marketing don’t pay upfront for growth. We only earn when you do. That makes us more than a platform. It makes us a partner.
