Are you a small Youtube creator? RUN!!! If you are a small YouTube creator who finances their channel through Patreon, the occasional sponsored video or affiliate links... *RUN!* After 20 hours of editing a video with a sponsored segment that was due on a certain day and uploading it to the YouTube studio, the video gets flagged with two copyright claims for MusicBed songs. When I go to clear them (which I shouldn't have to do to begin with), I am told that "The claim is not showing up on our end" (weird...) but also that "Because this channel's description has multiple links out to products/courses for purchase, an upgrade to a Business-level Subscription is needed to keep this video up and continue posting." As a reminder, the "individual plan" is advertised as "Perfect for freelance filmmakers, wedding filmmakers, YouTube creators, and podcasters." and covers "SOCIAL FOLLOWING Up to 250K subscribers, DISTRIBUTION : Web/Social, Podcast and Includes Monetization" But the best part comes when MusicBed describes what "links out to products/courses for purchase" are problematic. The two links that MusicBed wants me to remove are links to the channel's website and the channel Patreon's page. And what does MusicBed think I should be paying to have those links up in the description of my videos? 100$/month, ie 3x the cost of the individual plan supposed to be "Perfect for freelance filmmakers, wedding filmmakers, YouTube creators, and podcasters". MusicBed, you should really be clearer about who can buy your products and which one. Because if you are going to sell a service to a Youtube creator, you better believe that a lot of them will have a Patreon account and a website and probably even have the audacity to place those links in the description of their video... Now, as a result of MusicBed's shenanigans, my video containing a sponsored segment is late to publish, which is resulting in a penalty on the fee I receive. What a way to support creators MusicBed!!!

Musicbed membership terms are… Musicbed membership terms are intentionally misleading. On the pricing page they intentionally outline a monthly membership, however, in the small print you are committed to an annual contract at $99 per month. I would NOT recommend signing up unless you are ready to spend $1200. Why not be honest and outline this clearly on the pricing page? This sort of revenue strategy feels bad. :/ Please, be better, Musicbed. You can actually crush it as a business AND not be misleading.

They are the best My experience with Musicbed has been nothing short of amazing. They have an incredible library of music that I can't find anywhere else. On top of that, they truly care about filmmakers and creators. They put us first and it truly shows.

BEST OF THE BEST! I've used Musicbed for over 10 years now, even before they had a subscription plan. You will not find better music with a greater variety anywhere else. Yes there are cheaper platforms but the songs are just not on the same level and the good ones get used by EVERYONE which defeats the purpose. Musicbed is a big contributor to my success in the industry and is 100% worth it!

Deceptive! Lured us with a competitive rate and then increased their plans. If you get followers, then prices go through the roof. For one dollar more, I go with the competition that has no ”funny plans”. MusicBed is simply one of those bad companies that does care about their customers but only wants to maximize profits. Well, MusicBed, I have news for you, they go in pair and you are losing customers!
