Epidemic Sound

Using the wrong music in a video can get your content blocked for copyright. Epidemic Sound solves the problem at the root: a vast library of music and sound effects whose use is already covered by license, with no risk of claims.

Epidemic Sound is a royalty-free music and sound effects library designed for content creators. The model is subscription-based: you pay a monthly or annual fee and get unlimited access to tens of thousands of music tracks and sound effects, which you can download and use in your content without paying additional royalties. The key point is licensing: Epidemic Sound owns the rights to its entire catalog, which means that as long as you're subscribed you can use the music on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, podcasts and other platforms without incurring copyright claims or Content ID that monetize in your place or block the video. The library is organized by genre, mood, theme and use, with advanced search tools and an AI-based feature that suggests music suited to a video. Plugins for major editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve are available, to work without leaving your editor. The license model varies by plan: personal plans cover your own channels, while commercial plans extend use to client projects and advertising.

For YouTubers, podcasters, video editors, social media creators and businesses that need quality music and sound effects free from copyright claims for their content.

Epidemic Sound offers a 30-day free trial. Plans for individual creators start at around $6-9.99 per month (billed annually) for the Personal plan, which covers use on your own social channels; the Commercial/Pro plan, around $24.92-30 per month annually, extends the license to commercial use, client projects and advertising. A custom Enterprise plan for organizations also exists. Annual billing significantly reduces the monthly cost compared to monthly billing.
