I'm not sure why it would be an order of magnitude more money. Bandcamp takes 10-15% while Spotify takes 30%. So potentially 90 cents on the dollar instead of 70. Unless you're including other factors?

Bandcamp relies on fans buying the music, whereas Spotify relies on streams. It can take thousands of streams to reach the same cash that goes to the artist after one purchase.
