    Choose for your release

Compare the whole offer

An upfront price is only one part of a beat license. Compare included files, allowed releases, credit requirements and revenue-sharing terms before choosing.

Avoid assumptions about ownership

Neither paying a fee nor downloading for free automatically transfers copyright. Look specifically for exclusivity and ownership terms, and ask for clarification if the offer is unclear.
