i frankly do not understand how Apple pays as much as it does - both Spotify and AM pay 70% of revenue to artists, so it might just be that there are far fewer streams on Apple. (plus Apple is a premium only service)
On an AM family plan, if they are really paying out 0.01 per stream... then anyone streaming more than 19 songs/day is a money loser for apple.
- jsheard 2y agoIt probably helps that Apple isn't carving out $250 million of their subscription revenue just for Joe Rogan.
- sodality2 2y agoSpotify has cheaper family and student plans. To my knowledge there’s no way to make AM cheaper. In addition there’s no ad free version of AM that’s being supported by paying subscribers like there is for Spotify - though I haven’t heard the numbers on P&L on these free users.
- rsanek 2y agopaying Spotify subscribers don't support the plays from free subscribers. it's two separate pots of money. they explain this in their section for artists
