TOP 4 Copyright Free Music Services Reviewed & Compared

As always, Thanks for watching! Remember to subscribe and hit that notification bell!

Great video. Does Audiio cover short film as well? Thanks!

Very helpful vid. Thanks a lot. It would be great to see updated version for 2023.

I tried subscribing to epidemic sound but it didn't work... I love in Nigeria so I don't know if that's got anything to do with it

Just looked at AUDIIO & the Lifetime subscription is $499 = $747 AUD 😮 OMG that’s way above my pay grade, maybe when my channel explodes into the stratosphere I may be able to afford it. 😂

Hi there. Thank you for the video. I saw that epidemic if you cancel you can't use the music anymore. This also applies to Artlist? I couldn't find if I can use the music even after canceling. Storyblocks he didn't mention but music that you download belongs to you forever.

epidemic sound is dead to me due to 1 minute rule on tiktok

I heard about this one site, where you can license very famous songs / mainstream music for one specific video project. But I lost the link, does anyone know about that site?

Damn Rafael, This is the first video of yours I have seen? Great Job, I actually bought Audiio Pro and will be getting the Lifetime sooner than later so I don't miss out because like you said it may go away. I will be searching to see if you have Video Editing Courses because I have access to like 20GB of content but need to learn how to edit, bad but I feel like a Deer in the Headlights everytime I open my editing software.

Epidemic sound's licensing model is awful and their customer service is terrible. One copyright claim from them took them 4 weeks even to respond and they lied about their attempts to resolve the matter. Don't use them.

The Artlist license gives you permission to use the music on any platform and medium including TV and Movies my man ;) Aloha . might have been different at the time of this video. Great Video ;) Subbed

Can I use epidemic sound by paying month to month whenever I need music for my videos without having a copyright

But there is a limit to the use of epidemic sound🥺 Maybe months or years they will claim it🤔

To future customers of Artlist, as great as the site is remember the owner are from Israel. So if your against the policies of Israel you might want too spend your hard earned cash elsewhere on other sites like storyblocks or Envato etc. Vote with your money

AVOID EPIDEMIC SOUND. Most unethical company I have ever worked with. I had mistakenly thought that my plan was inactive. In my payment details it says expired plans and my status "expired". I was charged for a year and didn’t receive a single email receipt like every other reputable company I use. I never visited their website or benefited from their service since the first month where I downloaded 1 song. I paid over $500 for literally 1 song download. This company is unethical and I would stir clear of them. Their customer service is terrible. They can care less. Of course they are not going to email receipts to their customers like every other subscription service I have ever used. Then they can’t collect thousands of dollar a month from people who have no idea they are being charged. Support better services that are available.

Top notch review video my guy! Super helpful and engaging!

Exceptional video and perfect for what I was looking for in terms of best pricing for the value! Thank you for posting it and keep the videos coming!

Hi, do I need to give credit to epidemicsoind in my yt channle description if I have a paid subscription ? I have the “personal” plan. I’ve seen somthing on their page like : you SHOULD give our artist credit in the description. But YOU SHOULD is not like YOU MUST. So i am a little confused to be honest.

thank you so much

Well, now - 1 year from this video release - Musicbed is the most expensive of them. With no monthly payment and annual subscription of 250 dollars. Sad.

I had one huge problem with Artlist. Every single time I used the site they were trying to upsell me. Also, I received so many marketing emails for sfx it drove me nuts. It kind of illuminated the fact that I had to pay alot more to add sfx.

Great review! Do you have to name projects with Artlist, or is it direct download?

I have the SFX lifetime from Audiio and love their selection. Not so much with their music selection though. Artlist looks promising!

Best comparison video I’ve seen. Thanks 🙏

Great comparison video!

Hi Rafael, great video, it helps a lot.I have a short question: can I license an animated video which I created with my designer?

Very well done. Objective, informative and to the point.

Agree on the challenges with Musicbed, every video gets flagged as ineligible. I'm done with them and went back to Epidemic. I also had one song I downloaded via MB and I received a copyright strike as the artist moved the song to a higher price point, which I did not subscribe to.

I use ( subscribe) both MB and Epidemic, but recently MB has changed it's pricing and it's licensing format/policy that has become a pain in the rear to use.
They now require that you create a project in MB for your video to attach the music to, they increased their prices (doubled). When I asked them what will become of my previous licensed tunes in all my other previous videos, I was told "Nothing at this time". WTH nothing at this time? This could be a real issue down the road if you have to go back and inventory every piece if music you used and re license it.
You now have to create a "Project" for each video you use MB music in and attach the music you download for that particular video into that project. If you use that song in a different video you will need to create another project for that video and re-license that song.

This would seem to be more of a benefit to MB than the end user/subscriber. One last thing. MB never sent and email or any sort of notice about the changes and what is now required to use music from their site. Bad play MB bad play.

Very good unbiased review

thanks for this, I have been using Soundstripe and they have been really good but my membership is expiring. I am thinking of Audiio now too, sounds like a great deal. they have $100 off Black Friday deal.

Thank you

Thanks man, needed this!

is it possible to upload my own written & produced songs to music bed that I may make a profit or get a percentage per purchase?

Thanks Rafael. This is super important! I’m using epidemic for the time being, but as I have the basic package whenever I do work for clients I have to make the music myself and that’s much more work!

Hey Rafael, thanks for the video, it had many useful tips and many times I felt like I would say the same. Also, as a humble contribution to your post, I started using a new platform - snapmuse, new guys with a good library. It might be worth mentioning if you further review other players in the future 🤘🏾

Never heard of Audiio. Love lifetime stuff. Hope they don't go bankrupt next year. Signing up to Audiio! Hope you get a million bucks from my membership. This was a gooooooood comparison Rafael. Appreciate the way you presented this! Thanks!!

Great video, as always! Thank you, I use Artist, and so far, love it!

Nice moves Rafael! Really useful stuff. I would still love to see a tutorial going through the process of editing to a sound track and the mixing of sound effects. So many people get this so wrong and kills a video dead. Thanks as always for your hard work 👍

Perfect timing! My Musicbed subscription is up in October and i ran into the same issues as you! Thank you for sharing your experience, now i need to decide who to go for. This was very helpful, thank you!!

I use epidemic sounds, like it!

GREAT breakdown. It seems like you can’t go wrong with any of them, but Artlist’s licensing is really tough to beat. 😎
Also, the “Urban Latin” category on Epidemic has some really fun stuff.

Dude where was this when I needed to choose a music lic. platform 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree with you I like a little bit more Artlist but the upfront hurts. I have Epidemic not bad but yeah everyone uses it and feels harder to stand out. I love this channel. You fill those not common things talked about 😁😁😁 thx

Solid and very useful VLOG!

Great overview Raf!!
