Monthly, in a word. Each month, after we receive our reports from all the streaming services( DSPs), we process the data into reports and payments. By the middle of each month, we’ll have the reports, data, and money available to you and all participants for all DSPs. We immediately run the reports and update balances within a day (and don’t sit on the money until the month’s or quarter’s end like some other services).
A bit on timing: We receive reports from DSPs each month for transactions (plays and downloads) that occurred three months prior; some DSPs can be even slower.*
So for example, January royalty reports and payments reflect streams that occurred in October.
* Unfortunately, it just takes that long for the DSPs to report on activity. We don’t have any say about that. We wish it were faster, too.
