FAQs
Questions, answered plainly.
How distribution works across audiobooks, podcasts, and music — what you pay, what you keep, and what happens after you upload.
Getting started
Three things: we distribute your audiobooks to retail stores and libraries, we host your podcast and its RSS feed for the directories, and we deliver your music to streaming platforms. One login, one dashboard.
Plans & pricing
Audio Starter is $19/month, Audio Pro is $149/year, and Audio Label is $399/year. A plan is never needed to publish — it buys 0% commission on music streaming, more artists, and a faster review. See the pricing page for what each one includes.
What you keep
On a standard retail sale you keep 40% of your own list price. The store takes its cut and the distribution network takes its share before anything reaches us; Chiify's platform fee is a flat 12% of your list price. Nothing hidden.
Publishing & delivery
Audiobooks: chapter audio (MP3, M4A, WAV) plus a square cover. Podcasts: episode audio (MP3, M4A, WAV) plus square show artwork. Music: WAV or FLAC masters preferred, plus square 3000×3000 cover art.
