May 15, 2025

Whether you're a freelance filmmaker delivering a branded video or a creative agency juggling dozens of campaigns, finding the right music is only half the battle. You also need a music license that fits your project and your workflow. That’s where Soundstripe’s single-use licensing comes in.

Designed specifically for content creators working with clients, our single-use licensing option gives you on-demand access to professional-quality music from Grammy award-winning composers. It’s flexible, fast, and built to meet the pace of production.

Why single-use licensing?

Not every project or client fits a one-size-fits-all model. That’s why Soundstripe gives you two flexible ways to license music:

  • Subscription plans (where the licensee is always you, the account holder)
  • Single-use licenses (where the licensee can be either you or your client)
With single-use licensing, you can:
  • Purchase music on a per-project basis
  • Assign the license to your client (great for agencies and freelancers)
  • Bill music costs back to the client easily

Whether running campaigns or delivering one-off client work, Soundstripe gives you flexible control over how and for whom you license music.

Built for client work

Our licensing framework is made with agencies, freelancers, and production teams in mind. You can license music in your client’s name, so they keep the coverage, even if the team or point of contact changes down the line. You’ll always have a clear view of where and how a track can be used, so bringing in your legal or procurement team is simple when the time comes. Need to show proof of rights? Every license comes with documentation you can easily share with your client.

Peace of mind, every time

Unlike some stock music platforms, Soundstripe’s single-use licenses include perpetual coverage, so once it’s licensed, your client owns the usage rights forever, for that specific project. You or your client won’t be required to renew rights or see any surprise charges for its use.
