Music Vine

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.

Pro Standard is $19.99 a month, billed $239.88 a year on an annual commitment, and clears productions with budgets under $10,000 on a named list of distribution channels. The tier above is $35.99 a month, $431.88 a year, and adds All Media. Yearly billing saves 20 percent. Pay-per-use licensing sits alongside for one-off work. Read the distribution list before subscribing, because that limit catches more people than the budget one does.

Video professionals working to client budgets, because the licence tiers map onto how the work is actually sold. A creator posting to their own channel will find the budget language beside the point and the price high for it.
