Is Ditto Music's label tier worth it as a promotion tool?
Ditto's label services (PR, playlist pitching) can add value for artists at certain stages, but they're project-based rather than daily compounding. For consistent daily TikTok growth, Autohype provides more sustained activity at a lower ongoing cost.
Can I use Ditto for distribution and Autohype for promotion?
Yes — this is the recommended stack. Distribute via Ditto (or DistroKid, TuneCore, LANDR) and use Autohype on top for daily TikTok content. Distribution gets you on the platforms; Autohype drives people to those platforms.
Does Ditto own my music?
No — Ditto is non-exclusive. You retain full ownership of your music and can leave at any time. Same with Autohype — both are tools you use, not deals you sign.
