License it once. Keep it forever.

A subscription rents you access, and what happens to work you already published depends on the terms you signed. Here you pay once per track, per use, and the licence is perpetual and worldwide whether or not you are still a customer. Real independent artists, 80% of the fee to them, and a contract with your name on it.

Music licensing,finally fixed.

Not a stock library. You are licensing a real, commercially released song directly from the artist who made it.

  • A real synchronisation contract with your name, the track, and the use on it. The same document a label issues.
  • Perpetual and worldwide. No expiry, no renewal fee, no territory limits.
  • One payment per track, per use. No subscription, no credits, nothing to keep paying.
  • Fixed public pricing from $8. You see the price before you start.
  • 80% of the fee goes to the artist.
  • Flagged on YouTube? Send us the licence number and we provide proof of licence to the platform.
