Music licensing with a $10 creator plan
Slipstream licenses a catalogue of over a million tracks for social video, with clearance that covers YouTube, TikTok, Meta and podcasts. The creator plan is priced where an independent channel can actually pay it, and caps channels rather than uploads. Team plans jump to a different order of money, so the middle of the market is thin here.

Generated music you keep the rights to
Soundraw writes the track rather than licensing one, so you pick a mood, a genre and a length and then adjust the arrangement until it fits the edit. Downloads come as WAV or as separated stems. Because nothing is licensed from a rights holder, there is no claim to dispute and no attribution to remember.
Our note
Take this over a stock library when the brief is background music and the risk you want gone is the copyright claim. The output is competent rather than memorable, which is the right trade for most edits and the wrong one for a title sequence.
