Pricing for project licenses

The right license depends on how and where you want to use the music - e.g. online video, podcast, advertising, or broadcast (TV, radio, cinema).

For most business and marketing projects, the Standard license is sufficient. For large campaigns with media buying or TV, radio, or cinema broadcast, you need a Premium license.

Project licenses grant perpetual usage rights for the published project (according to license terms) - no expiration date and no renewal.

If you are unsure, use the License Navigator. It recommends the right license in just a few steps.

Yes. For the same track, you can upgrade at any time if your project grows or your usage scope expands. The upgrade is handled automatically in self-service and is available at any time.

Already paid license costs are credited - you only pay the difference to the higher tier.

Typical cases:

• additional episodes of a series
• new versions or formats
• larger campaign
• broadcast usage

A license always applies to one specific project and one track.

Multiple videos within the same series, campaign, or production count as one project - as long as they are part of the same content scope.

If you want to use the same track for a new, independent project, you need a new license or an upgrade.

Yes. Our project licenses are explicitly designed for businesses, agencies, and service providers.

If you produce on behalf of a client, simply choose the fitting license for the intended usage scope. The license then covers that specific client project.

Not necessarily.

Paid social media ads, online campaigns, and self-marketing are already included in the Standard license.

A Premium license is only required if your campaign is additionally broadcast on TV, radio, or cinema, or if a large-scale media buying setup is planned.

No.

After purchasing a project license, there are no additional license fees for the agreed usage. You receive perpetual usage rights for the defined, published project (according to license terms).

There is no renewal requirement and no hidden follow-up fee.

Additional costs only occur if you expand your usage scope and choose to upgrade.

Yes. Online projects such as websites, social media, or apps are generally accessible worldwide and covered by the corresponding license.

For traditional broadcast media (TV, radio, cinema), the required license depends on the planned geographic reach - regional, national, or international.

No problem.

If it turns out that your project has a broader usage scope than originally planned, you can upgrade the license at any time.

This keeps you legally safe without having to re-license the music from scratch.
