The TuneCore alternative built to keep your music workflows connected
Is TuneCore only solving part of your workflow?
TuneCore combines distribution with optional services like publishing administration and promotional tools. But many teams still manage files in cloud drives, splits in spreadsheets, publishing in separate dashboards, collaboration in email or DMs, and performance insights across multiple platforms.
Releese is built to bring those workflows together.
TuneCore distributes. Releese integrates.
TuneCore is built to distribute music widely and offer additional services like publishing administration.
If you’re looking for a platform that unifies distribution, royalties, rights, collaboration, and performance tracking in one place, Releese takes a broader approach. Here’s how they compare:

Integrations and Ecosystem
Pricing
You keep 85–97.1% of earnings, depending on plan.
Artists retain 100% of distribution royalties. Publishing administration may involve additional service fees.
What actually lands in your bank account?
Releese members earned an average of $4.23 per 1,000 US Spotify streams, after commissions, across every plan.
That includes the publishing royalties Releese collects for you. TuneCore and most distributors pay recording royalties only, so the publishing side often goes uncollected.

If you’re only optimizing for the lowest annual subscription, TuneCore is inexpensive.
