Power to the Artists.
Artists have been stuck choosing between two bad deals: streaming, where a million plays can still feel like someone handed you couch change. And direct-to-fan platforms, where fans finally buy your music — and then the platform still reaches into the jar.
IndieCrave said: nah.
You keep 100% of every sale — minus Stripe's card fee. And your money lands in YOUR Stripe the moment a fan buys — no waiting on a platform to pay you out.

Common questions
Does IndieCrave really take nothing?
Yes. $0 platform fee on every sale, always. The only deduction is Stripe's standard processing fee, which goes to Stripe — not us. Exact rate depends on card type and is set by Stripe; current rates are on stripe.com/pricing.
How much is the Indie tier?
$60/year + tax. Upload up to 100 songs, sell as singles or albums, set your own prices. No per-sale cut — ever.
Can I change my artist name later?
Yes — but renaming updates your whole back catalog, because your releases belong to your artist profile. This keeps things honest: one account, one artist identity, visible everywhere you've released.
I run an indie label — how does that work?
Sign each of your artists up as their own IndieCrave account ($60/year per artist) and connect all of them to your label's single Stripe Connect account. All sales flow into your label's Stripe balance, and you handle artist payouts off-platform per your contracts. IndieCrave never touches the money.
When do I get paid?
Every sale lands in your own Stripe account the moment a fan buys — IndieCrave never holds, routes, or touches a dollar of it. Stripe then pays out to your bank on the schedule you set in your own Stripe dashboard (default is weekly), and Stripe can also pull from your balance to cover a dispute — that's what protects artists (and us) from chargebacks.
