SOUNDRAW review

SOUNDRAW focuses on royalty-free background music and spells out its license in a short OK, Ask and Not OK list. Every plan allows personal and commercial use in YouTube videos, UGC, product videos, live streams, games, client work, hold music, radio and TV. The Creator plan is aimed at content creators and includes unlimited monthly downloads in MP3. The Artist plans add the right to release songs on Spotify and other streaming services, but only after you modify the beat, for example by adding your own vocals or an instrument, so it sounds clearly different from the download. Registering Content ID and selling modified beats on stock sites are not allowed, and meditation, lo-fi and relaxation content that uses tracks as downloaded may stay up only while you subscribe. SOUNDRAW says its model is trained only on input from its in-house musicians. The pricing page showed local currency from our location, so the USD price check is pending.
