Streaming
500K plays sounds like a lot, but plays don't pay the bills. Streaming builds audience, but rarely generates sustainable income on its own.
Built for independent artists
Can you live off your music?
Most artists underestimate what it actually costs to live — and overestimate what streaming pays. Streamonomics helps you run the real numbers before you make the leap.
How it works
Three streams.
One reality check.
Most artists rely on one income stream and hope the others follow. Here's what the numbers actually look like across all three. Try the simulator to test your strategy.
Live Shows
Touring is still the most reliable income for independent artists. Model your shows, venue size, and cut.
Merch
No single stream is enough. Financial sustainability comes from balancing streaming, live shows, and fan spending.
