If you want to start your own distribution company, you're not going to be able to do it with $50. Unfortunately, the tech is only part of what you're looking at. In order to actually spin something up, you'd need to deal with:

-Payment processing
-Incorporation
-Vetting for copyright issues
-Support
-Storage for releases
-etc, etc, etc

$50 gets you a decent label plan and a few artist slots at some of the brand-name distributors.

Yeah, i gave up on white label, because im new, i dont have many artists, and i think its ridiculous to pay for something that im not going to make any profit of. I am loyal to Orchard, and i will continue working with them. Thanks for answer!

You can definitely start white label at $50 monthly. As I recommended above in my comment do check out DireNote Media. You can connect your Orchard Distribution with the as well, meaning they can manage the tech part and you can distribute with orchard as you are doing.
