💸 Streaming vs Buying Music: a Calculator
We built a simple Calculator to show the difference between streaming and buying music — and why Crates is designed to support a healthier music ecosystem, where more of a fan’s budget goes directly to the artists they love.
It’s a quick, visual way for new users (and curious minds) to understand what we’re trying to change — and why it matters.
Festival Season is here
Which music festivals are you attending this year?
We’re starting with Athens Music Week this week, where we’ll:
• Speak on the Music Tech Panel

Come join the discussion!
More Festivals hopefully soon – 👀 Sónar, ADE, Reeperbahn
