License Navigator: which Audiocrowd license fits your project?
If you already know whether you will use royalty-free or PRO-administered music, the next step is choosing the right project license on Audiocrowd. This navigator guides you to a concrete license recommendation in a few questions — based on usage, platform, reach, and client context.
In 1–2 minutes you will get:
- A concrete recommendation for the right Audiocrowd license
- Guidance on whether a standard license is sufficient or an extended license is needed
- Notes on common pitfalls (e.g., advertising, reach, reuse)

Note: The navigator is not legal advice — it helps map typical business scenarios to the right Audiocrowd license and reduces the risk of choosing the wrong option.

What the license recommendation depends on

- Channels: website, social, paid ads, TV, inhouse/presentation

- Reach / campaign scale

Frequently asked questions about business music licensing
Do I need a different license for advertising than for an internal video?
Often yes, because context, reach, and channels (e.g., paid ads) can change the required scope. The navigator classifies your scenario in a few questions.
Is a standard license sufficient for social media or YouTube?
It depends on whether content is promoted, monetized, reused long-term, and whether you work for a client. The navigator provides a practical recommendation.
What if my project expands later?
The navigator helps you consider common expansions (e.g., new channels, paid ads, larger reach) early to reduce the need for later upgrades.
