for the artist.

Traditional streaming pays artists a sliver of a penny per stream after labels and platforms take their cut. StarFarm flips that — listeners pay per play, artists pick the price, and the money lands in the artist’s Stars the moment a song finishes. No quarterly statements, no opaque pools, no waiting on a payout cycle.

questions.

However you come to StarFarm — to listen, to release your music, or to spread the word — here’s what people ask most.

StarFarm is a per-play music platform. Instead of a monthly subscription that pools everyone’s money, you pay a tiny amount each time you play a song — and nearly all of it goes straight to the artist who made it.

There’s no subscription. You add funds to your account and pay per play — artists set their own price, starting as low as $0.03 a song. You only ever spend what you choose to load. Please note: you must purchase Stars for your wallet from the web app. There is no way to purchase anything on the mobile versions.

Yes. Every song has a free 30-second preview — no account, no funds, no commitment. When you’re ready to hear the whole thing, a full play costs just a few cents.

Stars are your account balance — the credits you use to play songs. Each full listen costs stars, which support the artist. One Star equals one penny.

Almost all of it goes directly to the artist the moment the song finishes — not to a label or a platform payout pool that skims it first. You’re paying the people who made the music.

Yes. Listen on the web or in the StarFarm mobile app — your account, your balance, and your library work the same across both.

Top up your balance from your account in a few taps with a card. It stays on your account until you spend it, one play at a time.
