When your music is distributed through Fresible Music, your earnings from streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and others do not come from a fixed “pay-per-stream” rate.
This is because streaming services do not pay a flat rate for every stream. Instead, royalties are calculated using several economic, regional, and contractual factors.
🌍 What Affects How Much One Stream Is Worth?
There are lots of factors that affect how much money one stream is worth in royalties. The main factors include:
1. Listener’s Country & Location
- The value of a stream changes depending on:
- Regional subscription prices
- Local advertising rates
- Currency exchange rates
- Market economic conditions
2. Free vs. Paid Listeners
- Premium subscribers generate more revenue per stream
- Ad-supported listeners generate less
- Services with large free tiers may have lower overall average payouts.
3. Your Rights & Contract Splits
Royalties from streaming platforms are paid to the rights holder (Fresible or your label).
Your final payout depends on:
- Your distribution agreement
- Publishing splits
- Any other parties entitled to royalties
- For Fresible Music artists, the standard revenue split is 70% Artist / 30% Fresible.
4. Total Platform Revenue Each Month
- Your per-stream value can change based on:
- Number of total streams on the platform
- Changes in subscription revenue
- Fluctuations in advertising income
- Seasonal trends (e.g., holidays, promotions)
5. Minimum Play Duration
- Most platforms only count a stream after at least 30 seconds of listening.
- Shorter plays may not earn royalties.
6. Playlist & Algorithm Exposure
- Being placed in playlists (editorial or algorithmic) or receiving high listener engagement can increase total streams, which affects your share of the revenue pool
