Free To Use
What it is
Free To Use is a web library where creators can download royalty-free background music. It offers unlimited free downloads without requiring sign-up. The Free License covers non-premium tracks in user-generated content on social platforms, provided users add attribution; commercial use is prohibited. Qualifying videos may be monetized if correct attribution is added before the video is made public or unlisted. Only approved artists can upload tracks, and submissions pass a review process. The company says its music is made by human artists and that it owns the rights to its catalog, which it registers with YouTube Content ID and Meta Rights Manager. Subscribers can whitelist YouTube channels to help prevent Content ID claims when using music without attribution. Paid choices include one-time Pro and Broadcast licenses and Personal and Commercial subscriptions. Commercial coverage varies: the Commercial Plan covers one digital product and up to 10 accounts simultaneously. Subscriptions can be cancelled at any time and stay active through the current billing period. The listed Free License costs nothing.
