They charge you $10 per single, per year to keep it uploaded and 50 for an album (30 for the first year), so lets say you have 2 albums and 5 singles up, that's $110 for the first year and $150 every year after that, compared to distrokids $20 and unlimited uploads. And if you want to retrieve your files, they charge you a support fee. Distrokid is a flat rate of $20 per year and let's you upload as much as you want, and has a vault where they store all your album covers, audio files and metadata and any other extra details and they let you get them for free

I did, however, remember another crowdfunding platform that may be the best of both worlds here (second highest voted so far being Patreon). Ko-fi: it offers both monthly and one-time donations as well as a store where we could sell things like early access keys or things like that. Their fees are very low as well, capping out at 5%.
