Free ways to analyze your DistroKid report
DistroKid's Excruciating Detail report holds every row stores have reported for your music. There are three common ways to make sense of it. Here's how they compare.
| AudiMetr | Spreadsheet (Excel / Sheets) | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Upload the file as downloaded | Import, clean and build pivot tables |
| Total across every store | Automatic | Manual formulas |
| Streams kept apart from downloads | Automatic; unknown rows flagged | Up to you |
| Duplicate rows on re-upload | Ignored automatically | Easy to double count |
| Large reports | Handled in seconds | Can become slow |
| Shareable proof | Public page and plaques | — |
| Price | Free plan | Free |
DistroKid's own stats pages are also free and fine for a quick look, but they don't give you a shareable verified total.
Option 1: DistroKid's own stats
Good for a quick look inside DistroKid. Less suited to building one total across your whole history or sharing it.
Option 2: a spreadsheet
Full control, but you must filter row types, group by sale month and avoid double counting every time you update.
Option 3: AudiMetr
Drop the report in, get totals by store, country and track, and share a verified page — free.
- Free Solo Artist plan, always
- Original distributor reports only — nothing estimated
- Earnings stay private
- Public artist page, plaques and promo sheet

Questions
What is a DistroKid report analyzer?
A tool that reads DistroKid's Excruciating Detail report and turns its rows into totals and charts by store, country, track and month.
Can't I just use Excel or Google Sheets?
You can, but large reports get slow, and it's easy to add up downloads or other row types as streams by mistake.
Is my data safe on AudiMetr?
Your report stays in your private workspace. Earnings are never shown publicly; you choose what appears on your public page.
Does it work with other distributors?
Yes — TuneCore and CD Baby reports too.
