Stim's payouts to music publishers

Stim pays royalties several times a year. Here you can learn more about what the payouts cover and when you can expect money.

We make eight main payouts yearly. They either cover Stim payments for streamed music on the major digital platforms, such as Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music, or they cover a range of traditional music sources, such as live music, TV, background music or radio.

The remuneration is based on Stim licensing the customer, who then reports what has been played to us. When we match performances with works of music that you represent, we pay royalties.

All music publishers can analyze their royalties via Stim's web services on My Pages. Just click on Stim payments when you are logged in to see your data and find out exactly which songs have been played and how much they have collected.
