Yes, as long as you have a music distributor you can trust.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Does it cost to upload to <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-put-any-song-on-spotify\/\">Spotify<\/a>? <strong>No.<\/strong> It won\u2019t cost you anything if you upload your music to Spotify using <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">RouteNote<\/a>. We offer unlimited free music distribution, putting your music on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-getting-your-music-noticed-on-spotify-in-2021\/\">Spotify <\/a>and all the top music streaming platforms and download stores, without it costing you a penny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists can\u2019t upload music directly onto <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/tips-for-returning-to-live-music\/\">Spotify <\/a>themselves. To release your music on streaming services you need a music distributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different digital music distributors will charge you varying amounts to release your music online. The thing to watch out for is hidden fees. Is your apparently cost-free music distribution <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-know-if-your-music-distributor-is-a-good-price\/\">actually going to cost you more<\/a> in the long run?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At RouteNote we offer free distribution to <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-get-on-spotify-playlists\/\">Spotify<\/a>. You get unlimited uploads to streaming services around the world. We protect your music rights on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/youtube-content-id-music-distribution\/\">YouTube <\/a>and monetise your music on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/get-your-music-out-on-instagram\/\">social media<\/a> with no extra charges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no fees involved \u2013 once your music starts earning royalties, you keep 85% of all revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Upload your music to Spotify for FREE\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O9kuHqIUATQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust and transparency are important to us. You\u2019re never locked into a contract, and at all times you\u2019re free to switch distributor or move to our <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/should-you-choose-routenotes-free-or-premium-distribution\/\">Premium distribution<\/a>. Premium, by the way, lets you keep 100% of the revenue you earn, in exchange for a small upfront free and yearly charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, transparency is key. You always keep <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/what-does-owning-your-masters-mean\/\">all the rights<\/a> to your music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\">We\u2019ve been supporting independent artists and indie record labels since 2007.
