How it works
Plans are built around how you publish: the Social plan covers your own channels, Pro adds client work and commercial use, and Max bundles music with stock footage, templates, and AI tools. The music is cleared for YouTube's Content ID system, so you can publish without copyright claims.
Artlist is a strong choice for creators who care about music quality and want the safety of a perpetual licence. The entry plan is affordable for individual creators, while Pro is the right tier for freelancers and agencies doing client work. If you need the largest possible catalog, Epidemic Sound is the main alternative.
