One of the most important concerns for independent artists is who keeps the earnings from their music. SunoDistro follows a 100% royalty policy, meaning artists retain full ownership of their earnings generated from supported platforms. This page explains what the 100% royalty policy means, how it works in practice, and what artists should clearly understand.

What Does “100% Royalty” Mean?

A 100% royalty policy means that all royalties generated from your music belong to you, the artist or rights holder. SunoDistro does not take a percentage cut from your reported streaming or download earnings.

In simple terms:

• Your music earns royalties on platforms

• Platforms report earnings

• You keep the full reported amount

There is no revenue sharing on royalties under this policy.

How the 100% Royalty Policy Works

SunoDistro acts as a distribution and reporting partner, not a rights owner. The platform’s role is to:

• Deliver your music to selected stores

• Collect official royalty reports from platforms

• Display those earnings in your dashboard

Royalties shown in your account are based on data received directly from platforms. SunoDistro does not alter royalty values or reduce reported earnings.

What the 100% Royalty Policy Covers

The policy applies to royalties generated from:

• Music streaming platforms

• Digital downloads

• Video and social platforms (where applicable)

• Content usage covered under platform reporting

If a platform reports earnings for your music, those earnings are attributed fully to your account.

What the 100% Royalty Policy Does NOT Mean

It is important to avoid common misunderstandings. The policy does not mean:

• Fixed earnings per stream

• Instant royalty reporting

• Guaranteed income from every platform

• Control over platform payout rates

Platforms decide how much they pay per stream or usage. SunoDistro only reports what platforms provide.

Platform Fees vs Royalty Ownership

Some platforms or payment providers may apply:

• Processing fees

• Transaction or withdrawal charges

• Currency conversion costs

These are not royalty cuts. They are operational or payment-related charges and are separate from royalty ownership.

Your music royalties themselves remain fully yours.

Why Transparency Matters

The 100% royalty policy exists to provide clarity and trust. Artists can:

• Track earnings without hidden deductions

• Understand platform performance clearly

• Maintain full ownership of their catalog

Transparency helps artists make better long-term decisions.

Common Questions About 100% Royalties

Do artists really keep all royalties?

Yes. Royalties reported by platforms are credited fully to the artist account.

Can royalties be reduced later?

Royalties may change only if a platform revises its report. SunoDistro does not reduce earnings arbitrarily.

Does this apply to all platforms?

The policy applies to all supported platforms that provide royalty reports.

Best Practices for Artists

To make the most of the 100% royalty policy:

• Distribute music to multiple platforms

• Use accurate metadata and artwork

• Avoid duplicate uploads or repeated takedowns

• Promote music consistently

Higher engagement generally leads to higher reported royalties.

Conclusion

SunoDistro’s 100% royalty policy ensures that artists retain full ownership of their earnings without revenue sharing. While platforms control payout rates and reporting schedules, SunoDistro provides transparent reporting and does not take a percentage of your royalties.

By understanding how this policy works and what it includes, artists can distribute music confidently and focus on growing their audience without concerns about hidden royalty cuts.
