Bandcamp review

Bandcamp is not a website builder in the usual sense, but many bands use it as their main online home, so it belongs in this comparison. Each artist gets a customizable store for digital albums, vinyl, CDs, cassettes and merch, with pre-orders, download codes, discount codes and embeddable players you can put on any other site. Bandcamp says fans have paid artists $1.84 billion through it and that, on average, 82% of each sale reaches the artist. Joining is free, and Bandcamp earns a 15% share on digital items, dropping to 10% after $5,000 in sales, and 10% on physical goods, with payment processor fees on top. Bandcamp Pro at $10 a month adds batch uploads, ad-free HD video, private streaming links, more detailed sales data and Shopify inventory sync. The limits are design and scope: there is no tour calendar or free-form page builder in what Bandcamp documents. Many artists pair it with a builder higher on this list.
