Too Lost packs more distribution tools into a $19.99 yearly plan than most rivals charge for at higher tiers. The Artists plan covers one artist with unlimited releases, and the Label plan covers unlimited artists for $35.99 a year, with both plans sharing the same features. Too Lost delivers same-day to 450+ stores and platforms, the largest network on this list, and adds direct access to Spotify's Discovery Mode, a pitch portal for editorial playlists and automatic ISRC and UPC codes. Rights tools are strong: publishing administration with BMG across 50+ societies, cover song licensing in 1 to 2 business days, YouTube Content ID and copyright registration. You keep 100% of earnings, paid monthly via PayPal, Venmo, Stripe or ACH, and collaborators can join free to collect splits. If you stop paying, releases can stay live but earn 85% of royalties. The depth of options means the uploader and reports take longer to learn than DistroKid's.
