Generated music with a licence attached
Mubert generates tracks to a prompt and hands over a licence certificate with each download, which is the part that matters to anyone who has had a video muted. It also runs infinite streams for people who need background music that never ends, which is what streamers use it for. The free tier requires attribution, and the licence explicitly does not cover releasing a track as your own music.
Our note
Read that restriction before choosing this over a library like Uppbeat or Epidemic Sound. For background music under video it is cheaper and more flexible than either; for anything you intend to release as music, it is the wrong tool.

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.
Our note
Music Vine is the option when a client asks what the music is licensed for and you need a real answer. Epidemic Sound and Uppbeat are cheaper and simpler for anybody who only ever publishes to their own channels.
