As streaming is now the main way people listen to music in a lot of the world, how much is a single stream on one of the world’s biggest services worth?<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n

Unfortunately there is no single answer to this question. Streaming rates vary based on a bunch of different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streaming payouts differ in every country, so if you have a Spotify fan in India their streams are going to pay differently to a stream in the US. It also depends on what version of Spotify your listeners are using. Premium subscribers will make a little more for the artist with each stream than ad-supported users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with so many variables we can work out a rough estimate of how much each stream pays an artist based on the data that is available out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify pays roughly $0.0032 per stream.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we say this is a rough estimate and it will vary greatly depending on a lot of different factors. So you may receive more than this for your streams or maybe less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
