Let\u2019s compare PremiumBeat vs Soundstripe \u2014 library size, contributor quality, pricing, licensing, searchability, and more.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Content creators may come in all shapes and sizes \u2014 video production pros, small and medium business owners, live streamers, marketing leads, social media managers \u2014 but they all have one thing in common: They need creative assets like royalty-free music<\/a> from sites like PremiumBeat<\/strong> or Soundstripe<\/strong> to make their content stand out and improve their odds of reaching their people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And not just any old stock music will do; the internet is crowded with middling music libraries and underwhelming tracks. PremiumBeat does things differently, because today\u2019s content creators demand more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They demand royalty-free music that is superior in quality, exclusive, priced right, and offered by an operation that has standards as high as their own. They want plentiful options, attentive customer service, and ease of use. And that\u2019s why today\u2019s most savvy and successful content creators depend on PremiumBeat for their royalty-free music needs. We simply hit all the marks that matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, that\u2019s easy for us to say \u2014 but we hustle every day to make sure we can back it up. We crunch the numbers. We talk to customers. We even look at what some of our competitors say when they compare themselves to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how PremiumBeat stacks up against one other music site \u2014 Soundstripe<\/strong>. We\u2019ll compare all the things that mean the most to today\u2019s hard-working content creator: music library size, contributor quality, pricing, licensing, searchability, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of these findings are objective, some are subjective, but we think you\u2019ll agree that it all adds up to prove a couple of things: music is about high quality, quick discovery, library size on both PremiumBeat and Soundstripe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s start with a \u201cbig picture\u201d overview of the PremiumBeat music library, and then we\u2019ll zoom in on certain aspects of the library that, admittedly, we\u2019re pretty proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    PremiumBeat\u2019s ever-expanding music library<\/a> currently holds over 18,000 songs (and growing) that are 100% exclusive to our collection \u2014 you won\u2019t find them anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    PremiumBeat\u2019s music library covers 26 genres<\/a> that cover roughly 150 subgenres. For example, PremiumBeat\u2019s \u201cCinematic\u201d music is a subgenre that sits next to other film-specific sub-genres like Action, Dramedy, Horror, Trailer, etc. You\u2019ll find all of those nested under the Production\/Film Scores<\/a> genre (which has almost 4,500 songs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This subgenre approach to library organization is designed to make finding what you\u2019re looking for faster. Need pop music<\/a>? Okay, what kind? You\u2019ve got seven types to choose from, like Bubblegum, Indie, and Electro. Looking for jazz? Acid, Latin, Lounge, Smooth, or other? Our World Music section alone has almost 30 regions\/countries\/cultures to choose from, and we also offer a growing number of rare, difficult-to-produce, and trending ambisonic<\/a>, binaural<\/a>, and ASMR<\/a> tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Beyond genre, when it comes to finding music that fits a specific mood, Soundstripe gives you a respectable 13 to choose from. PremiumBeat gives you 25+ options<\/a> (aggressive, uplifting, every mood in between) so you can really dial in your search for the perfect track to capture the vibe your project demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ll go deeper into our advanced search filters that make your music easy to find, but even at a surface level, our music is organized in a way that makes it a breeze for you to get your tracks and get back to creating content. For example, if you\u2019re working on a corporate video, you simply search for \u201ccorporate.<\/a>\u201d Don\u2019t want to search? No problem, just pop in your earbuds and check out our curated \u201cCorporate Cool<\/a>\u201d collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Speaking of collections, PremiumBeat<\/strong> currently offers 60+ of these handmade mixes<\/a>, each of them painstakingly curated by our in-house music experts. Soundstripe<\/strong> offers quite a few playlists as well, and a lot of them are organized by use case<\/a>, which is a really smart move and super customer-friendly. They also have playlists outside of their use-case system, like Creator Spotlight, Staff Picks and Staff Curated. While the difference between the two \u201cstaff\u201d playlists isn\u2019t obvious, it is nice to see that Soundstripe employees are involved on a \u201chey, check this out\u201d level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    That kind of \u201cHey, check this out\u201d excitement is essential for success in the royalty-free music business. You can\u2019t fake an authentic passion for music, and that passion is ultimately what pays the bills. Our music experts are music industry pros, and they use their combined experience to ensure that PremiumBeat\u2019s music isn\u2019t just good \u2014 they\u2019re looking for (and only accept) music that is vital<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They triple-vet every song submitted by our small contributor roster that includes Grammy winners and platinum-selling artists. They cultivate and maintain relationships with top producers like Vincent Tone<\/a>, a sought-after pop collaborator who has partnered with international chart-toppers like Dua Lipa and BLACKPINK (and the first artist featured in the PremiumBeat Signature Series<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The experience and passion and expertise of our music team is why jazz great Sonny Lauderdale<\/a> calls PremiumBeat home after touring as a sax player with Maynard Ferguson\u2019s Big Bop Nouveau Band and why Bridget Barkan<\/a> sings for PremiumBeat when she\u2019s not opening for Lady Gaga or working with Martin Scorsese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
