• Paid by percentage of listening time — not number of streams. Most streaming services use a fixed rate-per-stream model. We don't. Artists are paid based on their percentage of listening time per subscriber. If a subscriber spends 80% of their time listening to your music, you receive 80% of their artist payout.
• Transparent subscription math. A Juniper subscription is $10 per month. Of that $10, $8 is the artist payout.
• No 1,000-play minimums and no disrespect for the work—because Juniper is built by artists who actually make records.

• 100% AI-free music. AI art doesn't belong in an art gallery, and AI music doesn't belong on a music streaming service.
• Record Store Connect. See where the music you're streaming is available on vinyl at brick-and-mortar record stores.
• Your subscription follows your listening. You may pay $12–$13 per month for a big-box music streaming service, but only listen to $3–$5 worth of music. Where does the rest go? To pay artists you never listened to—or elsewhere entirely. Not at Juniper. Only the artists you actually listen to are paid from your artist payout. Period.

Record stores are the roots of the entire music industry. They're the elders—the foundation that made music discovery, culture, and ultimately streaming possible.

Most streaming services forgot this and cut record stores out of the loop entirely. We didn't. At Juniper, record stores have a seat at the table they helped build.

Through Record Store Connect, listeners can see where the music they love is available at brick-and-mortar record stores. Artists, managers, and store employees can also add and update inventory in real time—keeping physical music connected to modern listening.

We keep 20%.

Juniper's subscription is $10 per month. Of that $10, we take $2 to keep the lights on. The remaining $8 is paid to artists. Most other streaming services take 30% or more.

That's it. Simple, transparent, and fair.

And when Juniper becomes profitable, those profits go back into making records—because we know firsthand how expensive it is to make them.

Real Listening. Real Data.

Because Juniper pays artists by percentage of listening time, fake streams don't work here. That means you get a clearer, more accurate picture of how many real fans an artist actually has.

No more guessing whether streaming numbers are inflated. On Juniper, listeners are actually listening.

That accuracy matters. You don't book a stadium tour based on numbers padded by bots. You don't print eight times more merch than you need. You don't press 10,000 records when 3,000 will do.

Better data leads to better decisions—for artists, managers, promoters, and record stores. We're not complicating your job. We're making it easier.

Rolling Stone Magazine has estimated that fake streaming costs the music industry over $500 million annually. Juniper's model is designed to stop that loss at the source.

With Juniper's percentage-of-listening-time payout model, the number of streams is no longer a factor in how artists are paid. Two streams could represent 50% of an artist's payout if a subscriber only listened to four songs that month. On the other hand, a subscriber could listen to an artist a million times in a single month—and the maximum payout would still be $8.

That's the point. Payouts are based on how much time listeners actually spend, not how many times a play button is triggered. Bots can inflate play counts—but they can't game payouts. This creates a built-in safeguard against fraudulent payments.

The result is fairness for artists—and security for investors.
