    Alternatives to subscription music libraries

    Every popular music library works the same way: you pay a recurring fee and you can use the tracks while the plan stays active. Sonify Music does the opposite with SoniBuyout®: you buy one specific track once, ownership is transferred to you with a certificate in your name, and the track leaves the catalogue so nobody else can use it. Below you will find a detailed comparison with each of the best known services.

    The difference in three lines

    • Subscription: you use the tracks while you pay; cancel and catalogue access ends.
    • Marketplace: you buy a limited use permission; the author keeps the rights.
    • SoniBuyout®: one payment and the track becomes yours forever, with a certificate in your name.

    Listen to the catalogue, pick the track you need and buy it once: it stays yours even if you close your account tomorrow.
