Leaving Bandcamp? Land somewhere you own.
Bandcamp got sold twice in two years, and the people who ran it are gone. If you’re thinking about where your music lives next, Sleeve is the whole home... your site, your fan list, your releases, your press kit... in one place you actually control, with zero rake on what you sell.
Get the Bandcamp importer
The Sleeve Bandcamp Importer is a desktop app that copies your Bandcamp catalog into Sleeve: releases, artwork, tracklists, lossless masters, barcodes, and your mailing list.
Every release arrives as a draft, and nothing on Bandcamp is changed.
Included with every Sleeve account. macOS only.
You’ve got options, and we mean that.
Sleeve isn’t the only good option, and we won’t pretend it is. Mirlo, Subvert, Ampwall, and Faircamp are real alternatives built by people who care. And whatever you decide: back up your catalog and download your masters now, before you need to. If Sleeve is the shape of what you’re after, come look. If not, one of the others might fit. See a full breakdown of Bandcamp alternatives if you want to compare them side by side.
What you actually get
- Your site. A real page at your own domain, not a link-in-bio.
- Your fan list. You own the email relationship. Export it any time.
- Your releases and press kit. Publish music, build an EPK, in the same home.
- Pre-orders, still. Sell a record before it’s out, the way Bandcamp fans expect. Needs Pro.
- A place for the physical copy. Link the vinyl or CD under the buy button, even if you sell it through a shop you don’t run.
- Zero rake. You keep 100% of what you sell. Standard Stripe processing applies; Sleeve never takes a cut.

The 0% difference, in numbers
Every dollar Bandcamp takes is a dollar that could go toward studio time, gear, rent, or your next release. Here’s what the math looks like.
| Annual sales | Bandcamp takes | Sleeve takes | You save |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | $150 | $0 | $150 |
| $5,000 | $750 | $0 | $750 |
| $10,000 | $1,250 | $0 | $1,250 |
| $25,000 | $2,750 | $0 | $2,750 |
| $50,000 | $5,250 | $0 | $5,250 |
Bandcamp fee on digital sales: 15% until you reach $5,000 in a year, then 10%. Sleeve charges 0% platform fee... you pay standard Stripe processing only.
Sleeve drafts the rest of your page
The worst part of leaving Bandcamp isn’t the decision, it’s the afternoon of copying and pasting. Paste your Bandcamp link when you sign up and Sleeve reads what’s already there, then drafts your bio, about page, links, shows, and contacts. You review every field before it publishes. What took an afternoon takes a few minutes of reviewing.
