About SonicCritic
SonicCritic - streaming that actually pays artists. Your $10.99/month doesn't disappear into a royalty black box. 88% of net revenue goes directly to the artists you stream. Not a pool. Not a formula. Direct. WHY SONICCRITIC EXISTS SonicCritic was built by an independent artist who spent six years watching streaming payouts round down to zero. The major platforms pay fractions of a cent per stream, harvest your listening data, and bury independent music under algorithmic playlists designed to keep costs low - not to help you find music you love. We built the opposite. HOW IT WORKS One subscription: $10.99/month 88% of net revenue (after payment processing) goes to the artists you actually listen to Every artist on the platform owns their music and licensed it directly - no middlemen taking a cut before it reaches them PRIVACY-FIRST, ALWAYS We don't harvest your listening data. We don't sell your habits to advertisers. We don't build a profile on you. You listen; artists get paid; that's the whole business model. DISCOVERY THAT WORKS FOR YOU No pay-for-placement playlists. No algorithm optimizing for the cheapest stream. Discovery on SonicCritic is community-driven - real listeners surfacing real music, so what rises is what people actually love. FOR ARTISTS If you're an independent artist who owns your masters and compositions, SonicCritic is the most direct path from your fans' subscriptions to your pocket. Upload your catalog, keep your rights, and earn 88% of the net revenue your listeners generate. THE BOTTOM LINE Streaming doesn't have to be extractive. Fans want to support artists. Artists want to be paid fairly. SonicCritic connects the two - transparently, directly, and without anyone's data being the product. Download SonicCritic and hear where your money goes.
