Audiio

Audiio offers licensed music and sound effects for filmmakers, creators, and other media projects. Its catalog includes thousands of songs by more than 450 artists, with new music added daily, alongside a library of more than 300,000 sound effects. Audiio says Pro licensing covers projects ranging from monetized YouTube videos to local television broadcasts.

Tools include Elements, which lets users isolate vocals, drums, bass, and instruments to customize a score. LinkMatch uses YouTube or Spotify links to find similar catalog tracks, while Hans AI recommends music from a text description of a scene or musical idea. Audiio lists plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, and its mobile app supports music discovery, playlists, and track downloads. A free account requires no payment. Paid options include Creator at $14.99 a month, Pro at $199 a year, and Pro+ at $360 a year. One-time purchases include Lifetime Elements at $149 and Lifetime Music at $499. Enterprise pricing is negotiated based on usage.

Audiio suits filmmakers and creators looking for licensed music or sound effects, including people who want track-matching tools or editing-software plugins. Its listed licensing options cover personal and client work, with Enterprise terms negotiated based on usage.

Audiio is a licensing service built around music and sound effects for video makers, filmmakers, and other media producers. It suits creators who want catalog search and editing-oriented tools alongside downloadable assets. The strongest case is its combination of broad SFX coverage, stem-based customization, and licensing tiers; the main trade-off is that rights and client reach change materially between plans.

For buyers comparing libraries, Audiio also belongs on a broader Stock Music Libraries shortlist.

Overview

Audiio’s catalog contains thousands of songs from more than 450 artists, with new music added daily, plus a sound-effects library exceeding 300,000 clips. Its stated Pro licensing reaches from monetized YouTube videos to local television broadcast, making the service relevant beyond casual personal projects. Audiio says its tracks are human-made and uses AI detection to help check that provenance; it does not offer AI-generated music.

The service uses a hybrid licensing model. A free account can be created without payment, but the paid plans determine channel count, client scope, catalog access, and included production tools. Audiio is operated by Abiya Music Group LLC, with support through [email protected].

Key features

Search and customization

Elements separates songs into vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments, so editors can shape a score instead of accepting a fixed stereo mix. That is particularly useful when dialogue competes with a vocal line or when a creator wants a less crowded arrangement. LinkMatch accepts a YouTube or Spotify link and returns similar Audiio tracks, which can shorten the search when a project already has a tonal reference. Hans AI recommends tracks from a text description of a scene or musical idea, offering a different route for users who can describe a mood more easily than they can search by genre.

Workflow and mobile access

Plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve put Audiio’s catalog and related workflow inside two major editing environments, but those plugins are tied to the Pro and Pro+ plans. The mobile app is aimed at discovery: users can find music, build playlists, and download tracks to a device. It is useful for collecting references away from a desktop, while serious timeline work still depends on the desktop-oriented integrations.

Pricing

Creator: $14.99 a month, billed monthly. It covers one channel, personal web and social use, and monetization. This is the focused choice for an individual creator who needs a single outlet; it gives up the broader client coverage, SFX bundle, and plugin and AI-tool package attached to higher tiers.

Lifetime Elements: $$149 one-time payment. It provides lifetime access to Elements stems. Choose it when stem downloads are the priority and an ongoing subscription for the broader catalog is unnecessary; it is not presented as a full Music plus SFX membership.

Pro: $199 a year, billed annually. It includes Music + SFX, clients up to 100 employees, AI search tools, and Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve plugins. This is the practical middle tier for freelancers and production teams serving small or mid-sized clients.

Pro+: $360 a year, billed annually. It adds clients of any size and all AI tools while retaining Music + SFX and both editing plugins. The extra annual cost is justified for agencies whose client roster cannot be constrained by an employee-count ceiling.

Lifetime Music: $$499 one-time payment. It covers the music catalog for personal and small clients, with new music added daily. It can suit buyers who prefer a one-off commitment, but it does not describe the full SFX and plugin bundle of Pro tiers.

Enterprise: custom pricing, with negotiated terms based on usage. It includes unlimited music and SFX, a dedicated account manager, and custom licensing for organizations needing bespoke rights administration.

Platforms

Audiio supports Android, iOS, and the web. The mobile app emphasizes discovery, playlists, and downloads, while Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve plugins support desktop editing workflows on eligible plans.

Who it's for

Creator is the clearest fit for a monetized, single-channel publisher. Pro suits filmmakers, freelancers, and production teams that need both music and SFX, AI-assisted discovery, and editor plugins while working with clients up to 100 employees. Pro+ is aimed at agencies and larger client portfolios. Lifetime Elements favors editors who specifically want stems, and Lifetime Music favors personal or small-client work with a one-time purchase. Enterprise is the route for organizations requiring unlimited assets and negotiated licensing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: More than 300,000 sound effects give sound designers substantial breadth alongside the music catalog.
• Pro: Elements stems allow vocals, drums, bass, and instruments to be isolated for a more controlled score.
• Pro: LinkMatch and Hans AI offer complementary search methods, from a reference link to a written scene description.
• Pro: Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve plugins reduce the need to leave the editing environment on Pro and Pro+.
• Con: Creator is limited to one channel and personal web and social use, so expanding into client work requires a higher tier.
• Con: Pro’s client limit of 100 employees can make Pro+ necessary for agencies with larger organizations.
• Con: Lifetime Music focuses on music and personal or small clients, while the broader Music + SFX package is reserved for annual plans or Enterprise.

Verdict

Audiio is a strong choice for creators and production teams that need licensed music, a very large SFX library, stem control, and editor-integrated search in one service. Choose Pro for balanced client work or Pro+ when client size and complete AI tooling matter; choose a competitor when your priority is distribution, a narrower YouTube-only workflow, or a licensing structure outside Audiio’s plan boundaries.
