Grab DistroKid Student Discount: 50% Off Your Music Launch!
Unlock a 50% discount at DistroKid by verifying your status through Student Beans, or continue saving after university with a 50% Graduate Discount available via Grad Beans for up to five years post-graduation.
To redeem these offers, simply obtain your unique discount code and apply it at checkout on the DistroKid website to enjoy 50% off your music distribution subscription.
Log in to your Student Beans or Grad Beans account to verify your current student or recent graduate identity. Access the DistroKid offer page on the verification platform to generate your unique 50% discount code. Visit the DistroKid website and create a new account or sign in to your existing one. Enter your unique code in the "Discount Code" field during the plan selection process to reduce your first-year subscription by half.
"Unplug gadgets when not in use to save energy."
You can save 7% on your first year of any DistroKid plan (Musician, Musician Plus, or Ultimate) by signing up through a friend's referral link. This is the most consistent discount for users who don't qualify for the student offer, and it applies automatically at checkout without needing a manual promo code.
A well-known "hack" for DistroKid is to create an account, get to the payment page, and then close the tab without paying. Within 24–48 hours, DistroKid often sends a follow-up email to your inbox with a 30% or 40% discount code to encourage you to finish your registration.
Once you have an active account, you can effectively "save" on your next year's renewal by referring others. For every person who signs up using your link, they get 7% off, and you receive $10 in your DistroKid bank, which can be used to pay for your own subscription or withdrawn as cash.
