questions.
However you come to StarFarm — to listen, to release your music, or to spread the word — here’s what people ask most.
StarFarm is a per-play music platform. Instead of a monthly subscription that pools everyone’s money, you pay a tiny amount each time you play a song — and nearly all of it goes straight to the artist who made it.
There’s no subscription. You add funds to your account and pay per play — artists set their own price, starting as low as $0.03 a song. You only ever spend what you choose to load.
Yes. Every song has a free 30-second preview — no account, no funds, no commitment. When you’re ready to hear the whole thing, a full play costs just a few cents.
Almost all of it goes directly to the artist the moment the song finishes — not to a label or a platform payout pool that skims it first. You’re paying the people who made the music.
Yes. Listen on the web or in the StarFarm mobile app — your account, your balance, and your library work the same across both.
Top up your balance from your account in a few taps with a card. It stays on your account until you spend it, one play at a time.
You pick your own per-play price, and your earnings land in your StarFarm balance the moment a song finishes playing. No quarterly statements, no opaque pools, no waiting on a payout cycle.
You set the price, starting at $0.03 per play — roughly ten times the ~$0.003 the big streaming services pay per stream. Charge what your music is worth to your fans.
Connect a Stripe account once, then cash out to your bank with a single click. Money typically arrives in one to two business days — no invoices, no chasing a payout team.
Songs, full albums, and music videos. At upload you certify that you own the rights to what you’re sharing, which keeps the platform safe for everyone.
Absolutely. You keep full ownership of everything you upload. StarFarm just gives you a fair, direct way to get paid for it.
Yes. Every play is recorded on a public blockchain ledger, so your play counts and the payment math behind them are independently verifiable — by you and by your fans.
