I use Songtradr to publish my music.
DistroKid was also on the shortlist, but when I was looking for a distributor at the time, you had to pay per song, whereas Songtradr was $49/year for as many songs as you want to release.
The disadvantage is that, unlike DistroKid, Songtradr does not handle licenses for cover songs and you have to do this yourself.

I get 100% of the revenue, but for me it wasn't about the money, it was about getting my music on Spotify.
So far I haven't had any problems with Songtradr.


EDIT : My description below likely applies only to issues with my account. Please disregard if you’ve not seen a notice from ST. Apologies.

They announced months ago that they are ceasing distribution and any releases you created via them will be removed from all the platforms next month. They recommend moving to DK and offer a discount for doing so. There is a very complex way to transfer releases but no guarantee play counts will remain. I’m glad we moved to DK two years ago. We will lose thousands of streams our ST album had gained and they will fall of many user playlists. Thanks ST. Really crappy customer service. We love DK. $25 a year for unlimited releases.
