Filmstro vs RouteNote

Filmstro lets filmmakers and visual creatives shape cinematic music around a video edit through a web app and a Premiere Pro extension. Users can adjust Momentum, Depth, and Power with sliders or timeline edits, adapt music to an edit's length, and place changes with keyframes. A stem panel lets users audition and remove individual sounds. The Premiere Pro extension supports frame-accurate edits and can continue working offline after a track is loaded, using locally cached project assets. Visitors can browse, download, and edit music during a full free trial without payment details; some features require a free account and email. Paid Creator plans include the web app, while Extension plans add the Premiere Pro extension. Music can be synchronized with creative media but cannot be shared as music on its own. Commercial work for clients requires PRO; TV, radio, VOD, and streaming projects require Enterprise. The service lists unlimited royalty-free music, unlimited downloads, WAV files, vocal content, and worldwide, perpetual music clearance.

It reviews uploaded releases before forwarding approved music to selected partners; the company says its network includes more than 50 platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Facebook, SoundCloud and Deezer. Users can choose stores, pricing tiers and the countries where music is available. Releases can be submitted to its YouTube Content ID system for monetization when audio is used in videos. The Free plan has no upfront distribution fee and pays artists or labels 85% of net revenue. Premium charges by release: a single costs $10, paid once, an EP $20, paid once, an album $30, paid once, and an extended album $45, paid once. Each Premium release also has a $9.99 a year renewal fee beginning the following year. RouteNote says approved releases are delivered within 24 hours, excluding weekends; stores generally take up to 14 days to make them live, while some may take up to 28 days. Its Android and iOS apps show earnings, statistics, discography and support contacts; the iOS app also allows uploads.
