   Spotify vs Bandcamp Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Jul 28, 2020

   Spotify and other streaming services allows users to stream the music, but there's no mechanism to financially support the artist and the payment for the streams is laughable. Indie artists (who Bandcamp directly supports) cannot advance their careers are create their art from streaming payments alone and therefore rely on sites like Bandcamp to give them opportunities to sell their art rather than give it away.

   Negative comment by Douze · Jun 26, 2026

   Spotify is a music streaming service with a monthly subscription price, while Bandcamp is a storefront to buy releases from artists, on which artists may enable users to stream some of their music.

   Negative comment by Guest · Feb 24, 2020

   Spotify is a commercial service, while Bandcamp's streaming is free and unrestricted.

   SoundCloud vs Bandcamp Comments

   Positive comment by Douze · Mar 4, 2022

   The focus of Soundcloud is really to make people discover new artists through their social platform, whereas Bandcamp is more used as a storefront - a feature absent from Soundcloud afaik. Bandcamp does nonetheless features "people also bought" recommandations, the ability to follow an artist, a label's page or a user, and curated blog posts exploring indie artists.

   Negative comment by Guest · Sep 25, 2016

   SoundCloud doesn't support .flac (lossless) file format. Bandcamp is used because audiophiles use it.
