How long did I search with Kristof for a decent solution for licensing background music for our YouTube videos. With Artlist.io, we found the perfect music flatrate for your and my videos. Beforehand, we really tried everything. TheMusicBed, Soundcloud, artist accounts on Myspace or YouTube. Just everything. The biggest criticism was either the waiting time or the 100 different licenses to choose between.

With the Israeli startup Artlist.io, Kristof has finally found a really pleasant and uncomplicated solution. You may already seen their beautifully made videos flickering across your screen on the social web. In contrast to many other audio archives, Artlist specializes in a simple licensing model in the form of a flat rate. For a really cheap (!) 199 $ a year you can get a huge pile of music that can be downloaded, used and played endlessly. Without annoying restrictions.

Especially the intuitive interface of Artlist makes music research pleasant

The developers do one thing exactly right with it. They have built what I expect from a portal for background music: it facilitates my work. The intuitively and stylishly built website with its mood archives and genre filters rounds off the overall offering perfectly. Therefore, in my opinion, music research is no longer an annoying work step. Never before has it been so efficient and easy to find and buy music for your own purposes. I am simply a fan of it. As you probably already noticed.

The Artlist.io license facts for your music flatrate at a glance

• Unlimited number of downloads
• non-commercial and commercial usage rights
• Lifetime usage rights for each downloaded song
• incl. approval for your YouTube monetization
• New songs to choose from every month

In almost all my videos of the last 6 months Artlist.io tracks were used already. If you would like to get an impression of Artlist yourself, you can get 2 free months by clicking the following link. The Artlist.io music flatrate for your videos can be cancelled within 14 days, after that, you have to pay annually in advance. However, I’m pretty sure that you will like it and you’ll never have to spend hours searching the internet for suitable and licensable music again. That’s a promise. I hope that one or the other of you will save some time in the future!

Refinance the Artlist.io music flatrate for your videos

For many people 200,00 USD per year sounds like a lot of money, since Artlist is paid at one go and not in small monthly subscription fees. But those who have used other platforms before already know that with other administration licenses a 0.99 Euro song with the proper license for YouTube, App, Web and so on can easily cost 700.00 Euro or more. Conversely, this also means that Artlist can already be much cheaper by using one single suitable song than licensing it from case to case. Besides that, you save a lot of work.

An example: The customer has decided on a song – you license for the YouTube video properly. Later, the customer wants to use the song in a new image video on their booth at a fair. Here, it is very likely that you will have to re-license. With Artlist, you don’t have to. One or two jobs a year can already refinance your Artlist fee. All the free projects that you have to license from other service providers, although cheaper, are not included.

Note: If you already use Artlist.io for your videos or are looking for a similar model for moving image content, you should have a look at Artgrid.io. The second baby of the Artlist.io makers is supposed to save you time and money when you buy stock video material. I’ve reported a bit more about the Artgrid.io platform here in the blog.

10 more reasons for your Artlist subscription

If you are still not quite sure if Artlist.io is worthwhile for your videos and applications, I recently put together my personal top 10 reasons for an Artlist.io membership. Maybe it helps you with your decision making! Otherwise, I’ll be happy to answer any questions in the comments below or you can send me a DM in one of the countless social media networks. You are also welcome to send me a classic e-mail on the topic. I’m always happy about new input and answer all e-mails in detail and in peace.

Up to now Artlist.io has mainly been about music. With or without vocals in different tempi and styles. Throughout of good quality. For more than 2 years now, I’ve been using the music database of Artlist, because it saves me a lot of time with the license searches and I can put more time into the projects themselves. Furthermore, the price of 199 Dollar per year is more than fair. Compared to often difficult to understand and very dynamic license models it is even very cheap. A detailed test and field report about Artlist.io I have published here.

A few weeks ago, the Israeli start-up added another product to its range, an SFX subscription. Now all content producers, who are not happy with background music alone, will finally get their money’s worth. But also sound designers can now use the constantly growing SFX library.

Artlist.io keeps its promises also in SFX sound effects subscription

• unlimited choice of sound effects
• New sound effects are added every week
• unlimited number of downloads of as many sound effects as you want
• Effects can be used for a lifetime
• And be used for as many projects as desired

Combined with the simple licensing model, this is for me the best source of audio content for pimping videos, short films, social media content and other visual material for which no larger budgets are available.

At 12.41 dollars a month, the SFX subscription is even slightly cheaper than the music subscription at 16.60 dollars a month. If you don’t have a subscription at Artlist yet, you should consider now to choose the Best-Value package with 25,00 dollars per month with the music and SFX content. Since Artlist pays its subscriptions once a year, you only pay 299 dollars a year for the combo model and save 49 dollar compared to two single subscriptions. With the price structure, the subscription is already worth it if you use it once a year. By the way, this link will give you two months free on top of every subscription! You are welcome to try it out.

If you have any questions about the Artlist models, please let me know in the comments below and I will try to help you as best I can with my experience.
