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 is by far the best music licensing platform we've come across Our team has been been using Musicbed solely for years, and as fine-art wedding cinematographers, we can't stress the difference it's made to our films. Musicbed offers an incredible collection of music and scores, by supporting and working with talented music artists around the world. On their website, you're presented with a user friendly interface for exploring the audio library, making it quick and easy to find the perfect track. Musicbed is by far the best music licensing platform we've come across for filmmakers.

I won't ever change platforms! I've been using Musicbed for almost 5 years now and won't ever change platforms. Musicbed has such a variety of music that each feels unique to every one of my clients. Their platform is incredibly easy to use with such advanced filters that save me countless hours searching for the perfect song for my clients. 10/10 recommend!

Feels like scam You can't call it MONTHLY subscription if the customer can't terminate it after a few months of use. The company still forces me to pay for the whole year even if I canceled and don't hesitate to call it a monthly subscription, this is ridiculous. As a cheery on top - they claimed that the first month is free, but actually, you'll still make 12 payments for a year in total, they'll just move your subscription date one month forward to cover for the first "free" month. Never seen such dirty practices and sketchy morale anywhere except scam companies.

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.
