I've been in between the top 2 music providers out of the rest most talked about on YouTube. Musicbed or Epidemic Sound? I'm not an expert but either one is either an operation go go or an operation no no. Today in this article we cover the good and the bad about these two music companies for your videos and are they even that good?!

1. Pricing
Pricing is critical to the human eye and to our job of being human with the hard labor we always do we have to make sure what we get is what it's worth here is a simple comparison between the two.
Musicbed (Over 12 Months)
Musicbed (One Month)
----- Original Price / 12 Months = $$$ Per Month ----
Individual = $19.99 / 12 Months = $1.58 Per Month
Business = $ 99.99+ / 12 Months = $8.33 Per Month
Enterprise = Request Quote from Musicbed
Musicbed (Annually)
Epidemic Sound
Epidemic Sound After 12 Months (one year) with a monthly subscription
Plan - - - Original Price - - - 12 Months Total
Personal = $15 x 12 months = $180 After 12 Months
Commercial = $49 x 12 months = $588 After 12 Months
Enterprise = Contact Epidemic Sound for a Quote
2. Copyright Issues
These are two music companies for your videos. Many other creators say that there should be no more copyright issues. WELL. WELL. WELL. it's actually false.
Musicbed causes more trouble than Epidemic sound reason is that once you link your social media accounts even for more than 6 months, Musicbed still regulates copyright on their music.
Meanwhile, when I tried Epidemic Sound all upcoming videos I schedule on my channel(s) regulates it clearly and quickly "un" or disbands the copyright.
Meanwhile, for Musicbed, you have to wait 28-48 hours just so the copyright claims can be cleared. You could even be using a song from Musicbed unmarked that it will still be copyrighted or even blocked in your country it's a mess!
3. Downloading Songs for Project
Musicbed
On Musicbed it isn't really as simple as a download there is a step process with it, often times when you just click on the download button it should appear an array of options with different audio formats. However, they are actually watermarked for some reason (this may have been fixed on 2/21/2021)
In order to retrieve the song you would like with a subscription you now have to:
Click on the shopping cart next to the song
Click on "Use Subscription"
Select the audio format OR fill out an annoying form
Epidemic Sound
On Epidemic Sound, you simply just click on the download arrow then you can choose to
Edit the default format, Download all Stems, or just the whole song file combined (full mix.)
4. Choosing Songs
Musicbed
Musicbed has this feature where you can filter what music you want as well as the tempo and etc. However the downloading will not include stems like EpidemicSound just an instrumental version and the full mixed format.
Another way available on Musicbed is having a variety of playlists being available. These playlists I have been using a whole lot, well yes most of the music is great it doesn't seem they update them that frequently, the same thing goes for Epidemic Sound.
Epidemic Sound
Epidemic Sound, is quite similar to Musicbed with its playlist and choosing songs, but rather not. Epidemic Sound has sound effects available and you are able to choose from the lists of what is needed for your project simply there.
However, it's not like Musicbed with it's music. On Musicbed you can simply choose a song with a sidebar or simple playlist when you choose a song.
Epidemic Sound is the opposite. On Epidemic Sound you simply literally have only playlists to choose from with quietly no context just a title, to be fair looking simple is good but they went way too simple!
When you try to search for a song you expect options to be available to you.
Uhhhhh.... Epidemic Sound seems to just have a blank canvas available to you.... Which I hate in my own opinion!!
5. EXTRAS!
These two music companies for freelance or social media such as YouTube so far seem to be giving you some great value to your decision-making! Nevertheless, these extras are only for one company and that's Epidemic Sound!
Epidemic Sound has a sound effect library so you don't have to use the YouTube sound effect library or get some knock-off "royalty-free" ones! Musicbed, unfortunately, does not have sound effects available :(
