Verdict
A subscription only covers you while you keep paying
Most stock-music subscriptions license advertising only while the plan is active, cap usage or territory, and upcharge or exclude broadcast and paid media. Cancel — or scale the campaign past its tier — and the cover can vanish on a running ad.
Every Artyfile track clears sync + master together in one lifetime, worldwide licence from €29.90 — full commercial use across TV, online, paid social and every cut of the campaign, documented human authorship, no extra GEMA fees. Real recordings, ready for air. Or own a share of the master and earn.
Can I legally use this music in a commercial — on TV, online and in paid ads?
Yes — and that is the whole point. An advertisement needs two music rights cleared: a synchronization licence (to pair the music with your picture) and a master-use licence (to that specific recording). For advertising they have to extend to paid media and broadcast, not just organic use. Every Artyfile track clears both rights together, in one licence, managed directly by Artyfile — worldwide, in perpetuity, with full commercial and advertising use included. There is no additional GEMA or collection-society fee on the licence; for TV and radio airings, cue sheets go to the collection societies (Artyfile supplies the details). On YouTube a Content ID claim may appear, but it is not a copyright strike.
Does your licence cover the whole campaign? Most don't
A commercial rarely runs in one place. It airs on TV, runs as YouTube pre-roll and paid social, plays as a spot on in-store screens, and ships in a dozen cut-downs — 6s, 15s, 30s, regional edits — across multiple markets, then again next season. That is exactly where the cheap options break. Subscription libraries are usually term- and territory-capped, often upcharge or exclude TV and paid media, and many licences are valid only while you keep paying — cancel, or scale past your tier, and a running ad is left unlicensed. Per-use library licences add fees per territory, medium or airing. Artyfile is a one-time licence: one fee covers every channel, market and cut, forever. (Playing music publicly in a store or venue as such is the operator's separate matter with GEMA/PRS.)
Why "free", subscription and AI music are risky in an ad
A brand cannot afford a rights dispute or a takedown on a paid campaign. "Free" and royalty-free downloads rarely include master rights and often demand attribution that clashes with a brand. AI-generated tracks (Suno, Udio) carry unsettled copyright and no documented human authorship, so they can't be reliably owned or cleared for commercial use. Every Artyfile recording has clear human authorship and fully documented sync + master rights — the safe choice when your name is on the campaign. Preview every track free before you license it.
What it costs to license music for a commercial
Artyfile Basic — €29.90 per track. One payment for a lifetime, worldwide synchronization and master-use licence covering TV, online, paid social, broadcast and in-store screen advertising — no subscription, no per-airing fee, no renewals. For comparison, a custom jingle typically costs €2,000–€5,000+ and a known-song sync quote runs into five or six figures. You download a studio-grade 44.1 kHz WAV instantly. See full pricing & licences or the licensing hub.
A real, recorded sound — premium without the premium invoice
The best brand work doesn't sound like a stock loop. Artyfile's catalogue is recorded by real players — Artyfile's orchestral catalog is recorded by world-class ensembles and musicians at world-class studios like Abbey Road Studios, under composer Paul Lorenz (30 years, 500M+ streams), who has worked with the London Symphony Orchestra — and produced to film-score standard. That is the depth high-end and luxury advertising needs, and the kind of distinctive sound AI and MIDI-only libraries can't fake, all for the price of a stock track.
Genres and moods for every kind of ad
From a single hub, find music for advertising agencies, luxury brands, corporate & brand films, YouTube ads and audio branding — or browse the full catalogue. Need a track written to your storyboard? We also offer a custom score.
Own a share of the master, don't just rent the music
Stock and subscription libraries only ever rent you music; an Artyfile licence lasts for life. With Artyfile Limited Edition (€69.90 per 1% master share, max. 20 per recording) you can also own numbered shares of the master recording, entered in Artyfile’s ownership register — so if the recording is streamed or licensed again, you receive a pro-rata share, which is not guaranteed and may be zero. Need the track exclusively for one brand? An exclusive licence or buyout is available on request. Use the music safely, or own a piece of it.

How it's made
A real orchestra. At Abbey Road. For your video.
Artyfile’s orchestral recordings begin where the great film scores do — real players in a real room. Our flagship is Paul Lorenz’s Violin Concerto No. 2, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios; the wider catalogue is played by the Artyfile Orchestra, world-class session musicians at studios like Abbey Road. Every recording is then finished with the professional studio craft used on modern film scores. That is the depth and humanity AI-generated music and MIDI-only libraries cannot fake — and, unlike AI tracks, every recording carries clear human authorship and fully documented rights you can license with confidence.

Does your music licence actually cover the whole campaign?
A commercial rarely runs in one place. It airs on TV, runs as paid social and YouTube pre-roll, plays in-store, and ships in a dozen cut-downs across multiple markets — then again next season. That is exactly where stock-subscription and PRO-registered tracks break. Here is what an ad campaign’s music actually has to clear — and what a single Artyfile licence already gives you.
What an ad campaign’s music has to clear
- A synchronization licence (music + picture) AND a master-use licence (the recording) — both, for advertising
- Paid-media & broadcast rights — many “royalty-free” tiers exclude or upcharge TV and paid ads
- Worldwide territory — every market the brand runs in
- Unlimited versions & cut-downs — 6s, 15s, 30s, social and regional edits
- A perpetual term that doesn’t expire when a subscription lapses or a flight ends
- No PRO / GEMA cue-sheet fees and no third-party claim on the brand’s channel
What one Artyfile licence gives you
- Sync + master cleared together, in one licence — managed directly by Artyfile
- Full commercial use — TV, online, paid social, OOH and in-store, all included
- Worldwide rights, every market — no per-territory add-on
- Use the track across unlimited cuts, versions and campaigns — one buyout
- Yours for life — a one-time purchase, never revoked, never re-cleared
- No extra GEMA or collection-society fees; subject to YouTube Content ID rules
A subscription licence is typically valid only while you keep paying — cancel it, or scale the campaign past its tier, and a running ad can be left unlicensed. AI-generated tracks carry unsettled copyright a brand can’t safely clear for a national campaign. Artyfile is a one-time buyout with documented human authorship, built for the way real ad campaigns actually run.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to license a song for a commercial?
Artyfile Basic is a one-time €29.90 per track for a lifetime, worldwide licence covering TV, online, paid social and broadcast advertising — no subscription, no per-airing fee, no renewals. For comparison, a custom jingle is typically €2,000–€5,000+ and a known-song sync quote runs far higher. Some premium tracks carry individual pricing shown on the track.
Can I use Artyfile music in a TV commercial and paid ads worldwide?
Yes. Every track carries a worldwide synchronization and master-use licence that never expires and includes full commercial and advertising use — TV, online, paid social, broadcast, and ad spots on in-store or digital-out-of-home screens — anywhere, for life. The public playback of music in a shop or venue as such is a separate matter the operator or media owner settles with GEMA/PRS or the local society.
Do I need a separate sync and master license for a commercial?
A commercial needs both: a synchronization licence (to pair the music with your picture) and a master-use licence (to the specific recording), both extending to paid media. Artyfile clears both together in one licence, managed directly — so you are never left with only half the rights.
Are there extra GEMA or PRO fees when my ad airs?
Not on the licence. Because Artyfile manages both sync and master rights directly, there is no additional GEMA or collection-society fee on the licence itself. For TV and radio airings, cue sheets go to the collection societies — Artyfile supplies all details on request — and broadcast performance royalties are the broadcaster's matter under its blanket licence. (The catalogue is registered with GEMA for worldwide monitoring, but licensing runs directly through Artyfile.)
Can I use the same track across multiple versions, markets and platforms of my campaign?
Yes — that is the advantage of a one-time licence. One Artyfile licence covers unlimited cuts and versions (6s, 15s, 30s, regional edits), every market worldwide and every channel, with no per-version or per-territory upcharge and no expiry.
Is Artyfile music royalty-free and pre-cleared for commercial use?
It goes beyond royalty-free: you pay once (€29.90 per track) for a lifetime, worldwide sync + master licence that is pre-cleared for commercial and advertising use. Because Artyfile manages both rights directly, there are no recurring fees and no additional collection-society fee on the licence. On YouTube, Artyfile uses Content ID with a monetization policy: a claim may appear on your ad, but it is not a copyright strike.
Is the music AI-generated, and is AI music safe to use in a commercial?
No — every Artyfile track is performed by real musicians and curated by composer Paul Lorenz. AI-generated music has unsettled copyright and no documented human authorship, so it cannot be reliably cleared for a brand campaign. Artyfile recordings have clear human authorship and documented rights, which is what makes them safe to license commercially.
Can I earn from the music or own it?
Yes — with Artyfile Limited Edition (€69.90 per 1% master share, max. 20 per recording) you own numbered shares of the master recording, entered in Artyfile’s ownership register, with a pro-rata share of streaming, Content ID and future sync revenue when the recording is used again — not guaranteed and possibly zero; not an investment product. License the music safely, or own a piece of it.
