TooLost pays 30+% less than other distibutors.

Great experience with TooLost re: timely posting of music, easy process, getting paid on time, ... EXCEPT, they pay only 60-70% of the rates that other Distributors pay, which means, they are keeping it for themselves, since Spotify does not pay them less than others. For example, for Spotify USA region, TooLost's average rate is $0.0023 per stream, while all my other distributors (Distrokid, Tunecore, CDBaby, Routenote... I have music with all of them) pay ~$0.0034+... It may not seem a big deal, but it's 30% less!!! That's the difference between $500 vs $340. And that's across all regions, not just USA rates. Then, to withdraw the money via US bank wire, they charge $25 flat fee... Depending on how much your withdrawal amount is, that's another 5-10%. So you literally make 35-40% LESS than what you make with other Distributors... I guess that's why they are so cheap, cause they rip you off on the payout side. I contacted support, never heard back.
