Different models. Different units. Compare the economics.

LIVE DIFFERENCE AT THESE INPUTSPrimePlug’s annual illustration is $287,500–$287,700 higher than Spotify.Compared with the current 100,000-stream Spotify estimate. This compares different measures and time periods.

PrimePlug’s $0.24 allocation goes to the authorised artist-side contracting payee, before private splits or other applicable obligations. Annual examples assume the same number of eligible paid subscriptions is maintained for 12 months.

THE MODEL, AT A GLANCE

A selected artist. A monthly relationship.

PrimePlug prices by the artist a listener chooses. Traditional streaming estimates are counted per play.

PRIMEPLUG · LISTENER PRICE$0.36per selected artist / month$0.24 of each eligible paid artist subscription is allocated to the authorised artist-side contracting payee.
SPOTIFY · EXTERNAL ESTIMATE$0.003–$0.005estimated rights-holder revenue / streamIllustrative third-party range. Spotify does not pay a fixed per-stream rate.

The Spotify range is an external estimate and may vary or be outdated. Spotify says royalties are based on streamshare. The estimate refers to recording-rights-holder revenue; an artist’s take-home can be lower after label, distributor, publishing and other agreements. Monthly selected-artist subscriptions and streams are different measures, so this is context about the models—not an equivalent-unit payout comparison.
