Egress	Free streaming and free downloads to fans; Bandcamp takes 15% of sales (10% after $5k) but there is no storage or egress bill, and a $0-priced release generates none of that.

Interface	unknown wrapper-only
Tooling	No public API, no bulk uploader. Web album editor only ('Click + add in the top toolbar'). This is the weakest tooling story in the slot.
Composes with	Unlimited albums per artist account x unlimited tracks per album x 291 MB per track. The 291 MB cap is per track, and an album has no cap, so a 20-track album is ~5.8 GB before you need anything else.
Reliability	Lossless masters are kept and fans who buy get the original format; streams are transcoded mp3. The lossless-only requirement is actually a positive for this use case (nothing is lossy-transcoded on the way in), but the 'no multi-channel / no mono' rule rejects perfectly good files, and a release is public the moment it's published — there is no private/unlisted storage mode.
