Artlist, Soundstripe and Epidemic Sound are big, polished and built for safe. Tracksynk is built for feel: hand-picked independent music, raw, edgy, dreamy, cinematic, where the artist keeps their master and earns 75% of every licence. Here’s how they actually stack up, no spin.
We don’t curate by genre. We curate by feel.
The stuff stock libraries don’t have, made by real artists who own their work.

↗ why we exist
Built by musicians and developers. Owned by the artists on it.
Tracksynk isn't a corporation sitting on a catalogue. It was built by musicians and developers to give the power back to the people who make the music. Artists own their masters, set their own prices, and are paid directly, Tracksynk never touches their money. License here and it goes straight to the person who made it.
Browse the Tracksynk catalogue, pick a track, license it in a click, keep it forever. No subscription, no buy-out, no AI filler, and 75% goes to the artist who made it.
