Transparent, fair royalty calculations — so you always know how your earnings are calculated on Sada.
Earnings depend on your artist status and how listeners engage with your music:
Per-stream royalty rate based on platform revenue pool. Updated monthly.
1.5× multiplier on standard rate. Apply for verification in your dashboard.
Streams from Premium subscribers generate 2× royalties vs free-tier.
You set your own licensing price. We take a platform commission on each sale.
Each month, a portion of platform revenue (from premium subscriptions and advertising) is divided among all artists based on their share of total streams. An artist who accounts for 1% of all streams in a month receives 1% of the royalty pool.
Royalties are calculated at the end of each calendar month and made available for withdrawal in your dashboard within 5 business days. There is a minimum payout threshold of $5 USD equivalent.
Streams generated by bots, artificial means or your own repeated self-streaming are excluded from royalty calculations. Accounts found to be manipulating stream counts will be suspended without payout.
Royalties are calculated in USD and converted to your local currency at the mid-market exchange rate at time of payout. We do not charge a conversion fee, but your payment provider may.
