Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Filmstro
Music that changes shape to fit the edit
Filmstro scores to picture by letting the music itself be adjusted, so momentum, depth and power become sliders that reshape a track to the length and mood of a cut. Licences clear worldwide and in perpetuity, which matters more than it sounds when a video keeps earning years later. A Premiere Pro extension puts the whole thing inside the timeline on the dearer creator plan. The personal licence covers one channel per platform, so anybody running several brands needs to read that limit first.
Our note
Take the extension tier if you edit in Premiere, because scoring against picture is exactly where switching to a browser costs you the feel you were chasing. Check the one-channel-per-platform wording against how many accounts you actually post to, since that is the limit most likely to catch somebody out later.
Music Vine
Music licensing that scales with the budget
Music Vine licenses its catalogue by what the finished piece is worth rather than by a flat subscription, and the entry tier covers productions under a $10,000 budget on a named list of channels. Above that you extend the licence. The catalogue is smaller than the giants and chosen by people who evidently listen to it.
