Detailed Review
FEIYR charges almost nothing upfront and takes its income from a share of revenue. After a one-time activation fee, each release costs a flat €3.82 for all shops you select.
The imprint names DANCE ALL DAY Musicvertriebs GmbH, c/o FEIYR, Martinistrasse 7 in Seeon-Seebruck, registered at the Traunstein court as HRB 13330.
How the costs add up
Registration is free, and you can upload up to 5 releases and 25 tracks before the €9.90 activation fee is due. A music release then costs €3.82 with unlimited store selection, YouTube Content ID costs €0 and optional ISRC and EAN codes cost €0.85 and €0.95.
There is no monthly or annual fee, and the site says a released track stays online with no ongoing costs.
The revenue split
The terms table gives 80% to the artist and 20% to FEIYR, calculated on net revenue billed by the third-party portals. Artificial streaming or incorrect billing that is later reclaimed is excluded from that revenue.
For a release with high earnings the 20% share outweighs the low fixed fee compared with a subscription at 100%.
Beyond music
The same platform distributes eBooks, audiobooks and, through a partner, printed books. Music users can add AI mastering, the Link-it! landing pages and promotion for radio, YouTube and Beatport.
The company says it has distributed since 2005 from near Lake Chiemsee.
Limitations to Consider
The 20% revenue share is the main cost and grows with success, unlike flat-fee services such as Amuse. The site is built German first, and parts of the legal text appear only in German. The checked pages list no number of stores. The pricing page refers to an excerpt of fees, so special charges may exist.
Who Should Use Feiyr
Hobby artists, DJs and authors who release occasionally and want near-zero fixed costs, or creators who also publish eBooks and audiobooks.
