FAQ
What makes FairPlayer different from Spotify or Apple Music?
Traditional streaming pays artists $0.003-0.005 per stream, requiring millions of plays to earn meaningful income. FairPlayer lets artists set their own prices and receive payments directly—no record labels, no distributors, no middlemen taking a cut. You could earn more from 100 engaged fans than 100,000 passive streams elsewhere.
How does the pricing system work?
Every FairPlayer smartlink gives fans three ways to support you. Stream Now – fans pay per stream at your set price (e.g., $1.00 per play). Pay What You Want – fans choose their own amount with a minimum you set, perfect for superfans who want to support you directly. Unlock Full Track – fans pay once to download and own the track forever with unlimited offline plays. You control all pricing and can update anytime.
How much does FairPlayer cost for artists?
FairPlayer is free to use. We only take a small platform fee when you earn money (similar to payment processing fees). No monthly subscriptions, no upfront costs, no hidden charges. If you don't earn, you don't pay. Optional premium features like advanced analytics may be added later, but core functionality stays free.
Can I still use Spotify and other platforms?
Absolutely. FairPlayer complements your existing distribution strategy. Many artists use traditional platforms for discovery while using FairPlayer's embeddable player on their website, social media, or newsletters to monetize their most engaged fans directly. Think of it as owning your own music store alongside being in streaming marketplaces.
What happens when fans unlock a track?
When fans choose "Unlock Full Track," they pay once to get permanent access. They receive a high-quality download to keep forever, can listen offline, add it to their personal library, and play it on any device without limits. No subscription required—they truly own it. This is different from pay-per-stream or pay-what-you-want, which are for single listening sessions or direct support.
When will FairPlayer launch?
Public beta with the embeddable player is targeted for Q2 2026. Early access will be granted to waitlist members first, giving you time to set up your profile and test the platform before the official launch. Join the waitlist above to secure your spot and receive launch updates.
