Artlist has been the go-to royalty-free music platform for video creators for nearly a decade, and it has grown well beyond music into a full creative platform covering footage, templates, AI generation tools, LUTs, and plugins. Whether you are a solo YouTube creator looking for a music subscription that won't get your videos flagged, or a freelancer needing a commercial licence that covers client work and paid ads, there is a plan for you. This review covers how the platform works, what each plan includes, what it actually costs, and whether it is worth subscribing to given what else is available at similar price points.
Artlist is one of the most trusted names in royalty-free creative assets for video producers and content creators. The handpicked selection below covers their most popular music tracks, sound effects, video templates, and footage, all licensed for unlimited use across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and commercial projects with a single subscription. No per-use fees, no platform restrictions, no copyright claims. Browse the collection below and find what your next project needs
The go-to royalty-free music platform for content creators, filmmakers, and social media editors. Over 100,000 curated tracks, sound effects, stock footage, and AI tools under one simple subscription. Sign up through FreeVisuals and get 2 extra months added to any plan automatically with no code required.
One subscription covers royalty-free music, sound effects, stock footage up to 8K, video templates, LUTs, plugins, AI video generation, AI image creation, and AI voiceovers. No tracking individual licences per project.
Use in YouTube videos, client work, social content, paid ads, broadcast, and anything else you are getting paid for. No attribution required, no licence fees per video, ever.
Artlist does not offer a traditional free trial with full download access. You can create a free account to browse the library and download watermarked previews, but a paid subscription is required to download licenced assets. The best entry point for new users is the 2 months free offer available through our referral link, which applies to any paid plan.
Any content you created and published during your active subscription remains fully licenced even after you cancel. You cannot use previously downloaded assets in new projects after cancelling, but everything already completed and published stays covered.
Yes, but only on Pro licence plans or higher (Music & SFX Pro, Footage & Templates, Artlist Max, and team plans). The Social plan at $9.99 per month does not cover client work or paid ads — you need at least the Pro tier for commercial use.
Music & SFX Pro gives you music and sound effects only. Artlist Max adds stock footage up to 8K, video templates, LUTs, plugins, the Premiere Pro extension, and the full AI generation suite. If you only need audio, Music & SFX Pro is more cost-effective. If you need footage, templates, or AI tools as well, Max is cheaper than subscribing to those separately.
Yes. Artlist has a native extension for Adobe Premiere Pro that lets you browse, preview, and download music, SFX, and footage directly from inside the editor without switching to a browser. The extension is included with Music & SFX Pro, Artlist Max, and team plans.
It depends on what you prioritise. Artlist's licensing is simpler and its music library is more curated with a higher average quality. Epidemic Sound has a larger track count and a more familiar browsing experience for creators used to streaming platforms. For commercial use clarity and licence simplicity, Artlist has the edge. Read our full Artlist vs Epidemic Sound comparison for a detailed breakdown
Artlist does not publicly state a specific track count for its curated catalogue, focusing instead on quality over volume. The platform adds new tracks continuously and the library has grown significantly since launch. For sheer volume of tracks, Epidemic Sound has a larger library, though Artlist's curation means a higher percentage of tracks are immediately usable.
