Search “Free Music Distribution” in any language. Go ahead, try it. Whether you're in Nairobi or Naples, there's a good chance Freecords will show up in the top three. In many cases, especially across European and African regions, we’re number one.

At 100,000 users strong, how did we beat companies with millions of users, with no paid ads, no influencer campaigns and no affiliate programs funnelling clicks from review blogs? Simple: we have the best offer in the business.

Free distribution. Forever. And 100% of your royalties go to you.

No annual fees. No percentage cuts. No fine print that turns into a financial leash later on. You upload your music, we distribute it to all major platforms, and when the revenue comes in, it’s all yours. You’re not locked into a subscription. You don’t have to pay to keep your catalogue afloat. You can move on if you want, and your music stays online.

We are the first-in-industry thriving “no-cost, high-commitment” service. Some platforms charge you $50 per album per year. Others take 20% of your revenue unless you pay extra. Some remove your music if you miss a payment. We don’t.

So how did Freecords climb the search rankings?

We didn’t chase SEO in the traditional sense. We just became useful. Artists talked, shared links and left reviews - good and bad ones, and we acted on them. Independent forums, Reddit threads, and comment sections mentioned us, not because we paid anyone to, but because we delivered what they needed. All of this grew organically, reflecting what our users already knew: it works.

Today, over 100,000 users from around the world use Freecords. Our community grows by the thousands each month. Our visibility, somehow, just followed.

We didn’t have the budget. We just had the offer - and artists chose it.

The music business has been stagnant for too long, with the same gatekeepers and the same hidden costs. But artists are waking up. They’re choosing freedom, fairness, and platforms that work for them. Freecords didn’t disrupt the industry - the artists did. We just gave them the way out.
