Vocana has opened its subscription streaming service to the public after a beta period. The platform carries independent artists exclusively and allocates each subscriber’s fees to the artists that subscriber streams, rather than distributing pooled revenue by overall market share.
The service includes several tools for artists and listeners:
- A Royalty Calculator lets artists compare estimated Vocana earnings with potential payouts from digital service providers such as Spotify and YouTube, using inputs including monthly streams and listeners.
- Sonic Profiler recommends independent artists based on a listener’s favorite mainstream acts.
- Genre hubs offer curated discovery, while a Verified Human badge is intended to identify human-made music.
Vocana says its community grew to more than 6.5 million artists during the beta period. Its distribution and label partners include DistroKid, CD Baby, FUGA, UnitedMasters, Downtown, Gamma and MNRK.
New users can start a 30-day free trial without providing a credit card.
