Whether you\u2019re discovering RouteNote Licensing for the first time or you\u2019re already using our library, we want to make it easier to find affordable music and sound effects for your content. That\u2019s why we\u2019re introducing two plans designed to suit different creative needs: Free Creator and Creator Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From getting started without spending a penny to enjoying unlimited access to our full library of music and sound effects, here\u2019s how each plan works and how it could fit into your content strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Creator: Music and sound effects at no cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a new creator, working to a tight budget or only publishing occasionally, Free Creator is a great place to start. You can access music and sound effects for your projects without a monthly subscription or paying for individual licences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how it works. Free Creator includes three music downloads and 20 sound effects downloads per month<\/strong>, giving you high-quality audio to enhance your videos, social posts, podcasts and other creative projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In return, we ask you to provide attribution whenever you use music downloaded through Free Creator. Simply copy and paste the credit we generate for each track (see below) into your content description or comments, following our straightforward attribution guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Attributions snippets placed in the description or comments look like this<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the added bonus:<\/strong> you can earn an extra free music download credit for every correct attribution you submit through our attribution submission form<\/a>. This gives you the opportunity to earn additional downloads as you create and share content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Creator is ideal if you want to experiment with different music and sound effects without committing to an ongoing subscription. With three free music credits per month and an additional free credit for every submitted attribution, this essentially gives you a perpetual funnel of free music to use in your projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creator Plus: Unlimited audio for your content<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For creators who publish regularly or require greater flexibility, Creator Plus offers the ultimate comprehensive solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For just $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year<\/strong>, you get full access to the RouteNote Licensing music and sound effects libraries, with unlimited downloads and no attribution requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means you can explore 1000’s of different tracks, try alternative sound effects and develop a consistent audio style across your content without worrying about monthly download limits. Whether you\u2019re producing weekly YouTube videos, daily social media posts or a regular podcast, Creator Plus makes it easier to build audio into your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another major advantage is channel allowlisting. Once your eligible social profile has been submitted and approved, your channel is allowlisted, helping prevent copyright claims on your licensed downloads. You can register one profile per social platform, making this particularly useful for individual creators building their presence across multiple channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which plan fits your content strategy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The right plan for you depends on how often you publish, how much you rely on music and sound effects, and how you prefer to manage your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re just starting out, only publish occasionally or need a specific track you can\u2019t find elsewhere, Free Creator gives you a straightforward way to get started. Just remember to include the required attribution and follow the claims-release process when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you publish frequently, work across several content formats or simply want a smoother workflow without attribution requirements, Creator Plus offers greater freedom and convenience. At $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year, it also offers the most affordable way to access a full music and sound effects library online with channel allowlisting included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever plan you choose, RouteNote Licensing is here to help you find the right soundtrack for your ideas. Explore the plans, discover new music and sound effects, and find the audio that works for your next project or post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Stop risking your channel\u2019s revenue and momentum on a flawed system.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RouteNote Licensing guarantees that the music you license is protected from Content ID claims, allowing you to focus on what you do best: creating great content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
