Epidemic Sound exists to solve one problem, which is a copyright claim landing on a video that was earning. Every track is licensed for the platforms creators publish on, and the clearance follows the channel rather than the upload. The catalogue is smaller than a stock library's, and cancelling ends the licence on work you already published.
Creator is $9.99 a month billed yearly at $119.88, covering unlimited downloads, social and podcast licensing and monetization on one channel per platform. Pro is $16.99 billed yearly at $203.88 and adds digital ad licensing, protection for freelance client work and three channels per platform. Pro Plus is quoted and covers broadcast. Monthly billing costs substantially more. The catch worth reading is that cancelling ends the licence, including on videos already published.
A YouTuber or short-form creator whose videos earn and who has had a copyright claim before. If nothing you publish is monetized, a free library like Uppbeat's covers you for nothing.
The subscription is a licence rather than a purchase, so treat leaving as a decision about your back catalogue and not just about next month's bill. Uppbeat's free tier is the cheaper starting point if you are not yet earning.
