FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

  • Is the music royalty-free? Yes, but they claim their model is "better than royalty-free" because they own 100% of the rights, providing a direct license that covers all rights globally.
  • What happens after I cancel? Any content published during an active subscription remains cleared forever. However, you cannot publish new content using their music after the subscription ends.
  • Can I use it for free? No. While you can listen for free, downloading and publishing requires an active subscription or a single track license.
  • How are copyright issues handled? By connecting your social media channels to your account, the platform automatically "clears" your videos to prevent copyright strikes or demonetization.
