Whether you're a first-time self-publisher or an experienced author looking to scale your global reach, StreetLib offers two distribution plans tailored to your specific needs: the Basic Plan and the Pro Plan. With this post, we’re going to break down the main differences between these plans to help you choose the one that best fits your publishing journey.
Basic Plan: Global Reach with Zero Costs
Are you a self-publisher ready to distribute your eBook beyond Amazon? Our Basic Plan is designed to give you global distribution at no cost. You’ll have the chance to sell your eBook across a growing list of global outlets, expanding your reach without any subscription fees.
Key Benefits of the Basic Plan:
- Format: eBook distribution only
- Royalties: Earn 70% of net revenue on all sales
- Cost: Free forever, no hidden fees or subscription costs
- Flexibility: This plan is non-exclusive, allowing you to choose which platforms to activate or deactivate.
This plan is for you if:
- You’re just starting out and want a simple, cost-free way to distribute your eBook globally
- You don’t need print or audiobook distribution yet, focusing solely on publishing eBooks
- You’re already on Amazon and want to expand your reach to other platforms, as this plan does not include Amazon or major retailers
- You want full control over which platforms your eBook is available on.
The Basic Plan is perfect for those who are new to self-publishing and want to expand their audience without making an upfront financial commitment.
Pro Plan: Full-Service Distribution with Premium Benefits
For authors and publishers looking to elevate their publishing game, the Pro Plan offers an extensive range of services that go beyond just eBook distribution. In addition to eBooks, you can distribute print books (coming soon in the US) and audiobooks, opening your work to a much larger audience across different formats.
With the Pro Plan, you gain access to all our distribution partners, including the major international platforms, subscription apps, library networks, and regional bookstores. This ensures your work reaches a diverse readership, from readers purchasing outright to those borrowing from their local library or enjoying your books through popular subscription platforms.
With additional features like pre-orders, direct marketing tools, and access to StreetLib Write, our online formatting tool for both eBooks and print books, the Pro Plan is designed to maximize your book’s visibility and sales potential.
Key Benefits of the Pro Plan:
- Formats: Distribute eBooks, print books, and audiobooks
- Royalties: Earn 85% of net revenue on all sales
- Pre-Orders: Set up pre-orders to generate interest and sales before your book is released
- Retailer Promotions: Submit your books to top retailer promos and discount opportunities (if applicable to your genre)
- Marketing Tools: Access direct marketing tools to help promote your book
- StreetLib Write: Enjoy unlimited access to StreetLib Write, our powerful tool for formatting eBooks and print books.

This plan is for you if:
- You’re an established author or publisher looking for more comprehensive distribution options
- You want to distribute your work in multiple formats, including eBook, print, and audiobook
- You’re seeking higher royalties (85%) and additional promotional tools to boost your book’s performance
- You’re ready to invest in a premium service that offers greater flexibility and marketing opportunities.
The Pro Plan is ideal for authors who are serious about maximizing their book’s reach and revenue. With access to a larger network of retailers, advanced marketing tools, and full-service support for all formats, this plan helps you get the most out of your publishing efforts.

Both plans offer valuable distribution options, but the right choice depends on your goals. The Basic Plan is a great way to start selling your eBook globally without upfront costs, while the Pro Plan gives you full access to eBook, print, and audiobook distribution, higher royalties, and additional tools to promote your work.
With the Pro Plan priced at just $99 per year, it’s an investment that can significantly increase your book’s visibility and revenue potential.
In Summary:
