How reviews and confirmations work

We ask contributors to share a photo they took and their own experience. Reviews go through automated checks. Flagged reviews can be assessed manually. Approval is not a guarantee that a photo is unedited or free of AI generation.

  • Email address confirmed means the link sent to that address was used. It does not prove a purchase or the identity of a person.
  • Company management confirmed relates to access to this company page. A paid plan does not verify individual reviews.
  • A review invitation does not independently prove a purchase. An order reference supplied by a company is not independent purchase verification either.
  • Publishing a photo with a review does not automatically permit reuse in marketing. A subscription does not grant that permission either.

Epidemic Sound positions itself in the mid-to-premium segment of the music licensing market, targeting content creators, video producers, advertisers, and brands who need legally cleared audio without the complexity of traditional royalty agreements. Rather than offering generic royalty-free tracks from open marketplaces, the platform owns the rights to all music in its catalog directly, enabling it to provide a single, globally valid license that covers all rights included. The service is built around workflow integration, with plugins for Adobe Creative Cloud and DaVinci Resolve Studio, AI-assisted soundtrack tools, and apps for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. Its typical user ranges from individual YouTubers and filmmakers to enterprise clients such as New Balance, GoPro, Levi's, and Nissan.
