Opinions vary how how much Amazon and Apple charge artist for 'downloads". Here's one...
"The key part of the question is the word “download” which implies a purchase of a track or album in MP3 file format from Apple or Amazon. The standard Apple model is that they take 30% of sell price, but artists have to go through integrators to get music on Apple and they take a minimum of 7%. So the sum of those two is a minimum of 37%. Amazon takes a typical 40%, equivalent to the typical wholesale discount. The payout model is completely different (and way lower) for streaming on Apple Music and Amazon Prime."
Let's say Verb charges 10% for downloads
