Why Ankit Digital Media is better than DistroKid

DistroKid is built for fast DIY uploads. Ankit Digital Media is built for artists who want proper support, monetization, and India-ready services — without hidden add-ons.

Real support vs ticket-only system

DistroKid relies heavily on automated tickets. Ankit Digital Media provides direct, human guidance for metadata, delivery issues, YouTube OAC, and Content ID claims.

YouTube monetization without paid add-ons

DistroKid requires separate paid add-ons for YouTube monetization. Ankit Digital Media includes YouTube Content ID and claim support as part of the core Creator plan.

Caller Tunes (Jio & Airtel)

Caller tunes are not part of DistroKid’s standard workflow. Ankit Digital Media supports Caller Tune setup for Jio and Airtel, which is critical for Indian music monetization.

Cleaner releases, fewer rejections

We manually check artwork, audio quality, credits, and metadata before delivery — reducing store rejections and release delays commonly faced on fully automated platforms.

Clear monthly reports, not confusing payouts

DistroKid reporting can be fragmented across stores and add-ons. Ankit Digital Media focuses on simple monthly reporting and transparent revenue tracking for artists and labels.

Built for India + global distribution

Ankit Digital Media is designed with Indian artists in mind — combining global distribution with India-specific services, pricing, and support workflows.
