Bensound

Overview

Bensound is a royalty-free music and sound effects platform built for video creators. It provides copyright-safe tracks composed by independent artists that can be used on YouTube, social media, films, and other video projects.

The platform serves individual creators, businesses, and large organizations with licensing options that clear videos permanently — even if a membership is canceled. Unlike generic stock music libraries, Bensound focuses on music from independent artists with perpetual licensing for all projects.

Key Benefits

• All tracks are copyright-safe and cleared for use on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch, and Vimeo.
• Videos remain cleared forever even if you close your membership or account.
• Pay-per-track and All Access subscription plans both grant perpetual licenses valid forever.
• Free music is available for video creators without any payment required.
• Sound effects library is included alongside music tracks for complete video audio needs.

How It Works

You browse the music and sound effects library by genre, mood, or search term. After selecting a track, you choose between a Pay-per-Track license or an All Access subscription plan, then download the track along with a license certificate authorizing perpetual usage. Your videos remain cleared forever, even if you later cancel your membership.

Use Cases

• YouTube creators who need copyright-safe background music for vlogs, tutorials, and gaming videos.
• Social media managers producing content for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook who need cleared tracks for organic and paid posts.
• Podcasters and audiobook producers looking for intro music, background beds, and sound effects.
• Video editors and filmmakers working on short films, corporate videos, and cinema projects.
• App and e-learning developers who need licensed background music for digital products.
• Advertising agencies producing commercial content that requires paid ad licensing.

Bensound is best suited for individual video creators, social media managers, and businesses of all sizes who need copyright-safe music with perpetual licensing. The platform offers both free music and paid subscription tiers, with the Enterprise plan available for organizations with 250+ employees requiring custom licensing.
