In their own words
Epidemic Sound
Epidemic Sound provides music and sound effects, with licensing and tools to find, edit, and sync audio to content. The company describes a catalog of more than 55,000 tracks and 250,000 sound effects and variations, and says it owns all rights to its tracks with global rights included in its direct license. A 30-day free trial is available, but downloading and using music requires an active subscription or a single-track license. Content published during a trial or active subscription remains cleared forever when publishing channels are correctly safelisted under the subscription terms; content made after the subscription ends is not cleared. Tools include AI voiceovers, voice replicas, monthly AI credits, and prompt-based music discovery. Plugins are available for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, and DaVinci Resolve Studio. The Mac desktop app supports workflows with Final Cut Pro, Avid Pro Tools, CapCut, and other editors. Plans serve individual creators, professionals, businesses, and larger organizations, with terms for channels, users, revenue, and permitted uses. The listed platforms include Android, iOS, macOS, web, Windows, and API access.
