In its place, this desk checked three independent secondary sources that each reproduce Audiomack's own AMP terms in detail: help.usemogul.com (a distribution-platform help centre), musosoup.com (an artist-services blog) and taculiarecords.com.ng (a Lagos-based label's advisory page). All three agree, without prompting from each other, on every mechanics row below: the follower and play thresholds, the two-original-track requirement, the 50% creator share of net ad-and-subscription revenue, the 85% creator share of Supporters badge income, the $50 cash-out floor and the net-90 payout lag. Because agreement across three independently written sources is the strongest verification available without the primary document, these rows are recorded at medium confidence and are marked 'program terms' rather than 'measured'. The remaining rows are per-stream estimate ranges, and they are the reason this is a 'competing estimates' dataset rather than a single number: the general estimate reproduced by all three mechanics sources is $0.001 to $0.005 per stream. Legitloaded, a fourth source checked separately, publishes its own planning ranges segmented by audience: $0.0005 to $0.003 per stream for a US-heavy audience and $0.0001 to $0.0015 per stream for a global or mixed audience, explicitly labelled 'not Audiomack-published rates... planning ranges, not a promise.' No source claims Audiomack itself states a fixed per-stream rate anywhere; every source checked states the opposite, that Revenue Per Stream is recalculated every calendar month from net platform revenue divided by total platform streams, and therefore has no fixed value. Taken together, the lowest estimate found (Legitloaded's global-audience floor, $0.0001) and the highest (the general estimate's ceiling, $0.005) are fifty times apart, which is a statement about how little the trackers agree with each other, not a range Audiomack has endorsed.","unit":"mixed","license":"Afrobeats Wire's compilation and analysis are licensed CC BY 4.0.
