Is Ditto Music better than OFFstep?

If you want to take full ownership of your music, drop tracks on your terms, and access more tools to monetize your music, then there's only one option.

Keep everything you earn.

Ditto lets you release unlimited music for as little as $19/year, and unlike OFFstep, we also offer powerful music publishing services to help you earn more from your songs through global royalties and sync licensing. We don’t just distribute your music: we help you build long-term income from it.

Reach more listeners, faster.

At Ditto, there’s no long waiting times. We'll have your music up on Spotify quicker than OFFstep and also distribute to more global platforms than anywhere else, including global superstores like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, WhatsApp and TikTok - plus a vast range of international DSPs across China, South America, India and Africa.

100% of your royalties. Every time.

What you earn is what you keep. With any Ditto plan, you’ll receive 100% of your royalties, with no surprise cuts or fees (unlike some platforms like CD Baby). While OFFstep offers a similar deal, Ditto gives you the backing of a highly-experienced international team to support your releases every step of the way - plus extra industry-leading artist tools like online mastering and official chart registration.

Unlock industry tools to maximize your reach.

We don’t just upload your tracks, we help you launch them. At Ditto, you unlock tools to strategically manage your release timeline, such as free Pre-Save SmartLinks for each and every track you upload. You can also opt into more advanced music promotion support to take your release further with a Ditto Promo or Promo+ campaign. You won’t get this level of support at OFFstep or anywhere else.

Built by artists, for artists.

Did you know that we were actually started by independent artists ourselves? Ditto CEOs and brothers Matt and Lee Parsons set up the company way back in 2005, so we’ve got firsthand experience in helping independent musicians get the help and support they need to thrive. From distribution to music marketing, everything we do is designed to accelerate your career. 

OFFstep are new to the scene, but we’ve spent nearly two decades helping artists thrive.

Accelerate your career.

Ditto helps you release music AND build your career. We go further than OFFstep, offering access to professional promotional campaigns, expert industry advice, and dedicated artist development. If we see potential in your work, you could even be invited to join our in-house label services that provide added support like playlist pitching and targeted promotion.

Access powerful artist analytics.

Your personal Ditto artist dashboard gives you real-time access to streaming data, downloads, and fan engagement across every platform. Use those insights to track your growth, understand your audience, and plan your next moves. While OFFstep offers basic stats, Ditto delivers the depth and clarity serious artists need to grow.

Shape your sound & sharpen your strategy.

We're here to help your career as a whole. That's why we provide a wealth of industry resources. Our blog, YouTube channel, social platforms, and support team are on-hand to help shape your sound and fast-track your rise. OFFstep doesn’t offer that level of artist education or community support.

Take full control of your release.

Distribution is only the beginning. Ditto artists gain access to a full suite of tools and services that go far beyond uploading music. Our experienced promo team, custom PR campaigns, and targeted marketing strategies are here to amplify your reach. OFFstep simply doesn’t offer that level of post-release support. Just saying.

Created for those serious about growth.

We're more than a distribution service. We're a global team of music lovers, marketers, and publishing experts who are here to help you develop your music career. Whether you're releasing your first track or building your own independent record label, Ditto offers the infrastructure, support, and services that OFFstep can’t match.

Sign up to Ditto Pro and you'll also gain access to even more exclusive Ditto Perks to take your music even further.
