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.
