Frequently asked questions
Does Boomplay pay a fixed rate per stream?
No. Boomplay pays from a revenue pool that is split across all streams in a reporting period. Your effective per-stream rate moves with listener region, the free-vs-paid subscriber mix, and currency — which is why we show a $0.0030–$0.0050 range rather than one number.
How much does Boomplay pay per stream?
Widely-reported blended estimates put Boomplay at roughly $0.0030 to $0.0050 per stream, net to rights holders. This is an estimate range, not a guarantee, and your real figure depends on your audience and your distributor and split shares.
Is this what I take home from Boomplay?
Not exactly. The range approximates the amount paid to rights holders before your distributor cut and any label, collaborator, or publishing splits. Use your distributor statement for Boomplay to see your actual net.
How accurate are these examples?
