Everything you need
Broadcast live
OBS, Mixxx, Traktor, or browser ingest. FLAC lossless for members, MP3 192 kbps on the free tier — both better than most commercial streaming services.
Your archive, always on
24/7 channel with seamless live-to-archive transitions. Listeners tune in and keep listening even when you are offline.
Earn through fan-subs
Listeners can support you directly at €1–€100/month — you set the price. 98% goes to you; 2% rolls into the grant pool for the whole community.
Annual artist grants
90% of platform surplus is distributed to artists every year based on engagement units — a fair formula, not an algorithm favouring the loudest.
Smart links & distribution
One release smart link with DSP buttons for Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and more. Distribute via Revelator with a single form.
Newsletter built in
Send updates directly to listeners who opt in — no third-party email tool required, no per-send fees.
Real analytics
Plays, downloads, completion rates, top countries, and your running grant estimate. No listener counts as headline metrics — the constitution forbids vanity numbers.
Member-governed nonprofit
You get a vote. The board is elected by artist members. The roadmap is public. Every euro in and out is published. No shareholders, no exit.
What it costs
Free tier — MP3 192 kbps live and archive, unlimited broadcasts, archive hosting, smart links, newsletter, analytics, fan-subs, grant eligibility. Everything. Free.
Tahti ry membership (€40/year) — financial support for the cooperative, plus FLAC lossless streaming for you and your listeners, Stash file storage, and a vote at the AGM.
There is no "freemium" catch. The free tier is a complete product. Membership funds the grant pool and unlocks lossless audio — you are supporting the org, not buying a subscription product.
