Does your business need music licensing?
Many business owners know playing music in your business is different from streaming music at home. While your personal playlists are great for a private house party, playing music in a commercial space requires special licensing. It’s easy to get sticker shock when you realize just how much music licensing can cost, but a Pandora CloudCover subscription covers all music rights and licensing fees in one affordable streaming service for business use.
What exactly are PROs?
Music licensing for businesses isn’t managed by a single entity. There are several performing rights organizations (PROs) including BMI, ASCAP and more — each with their own music catalogs, artists, and licensing fees.
Pandora CloudCover works with major PROs to bring music rights together under one roof. CloudCover is your one-stop-shop with millions of licensed songs spanning every era, genre, mood, and moment.
How much does music licensing cost?
Most PROs charge businesses custom rates to license their music catalogs based on business size and type. ASCAP offers personalized pricing, and BMI licensing can cost anywhere from $250 to $2,000 per year. SESAC licensing rates average around $700 a year*.
The smartest businesses choose Pandora CloudCover to access one of the largest catalogs of music fully licensed for business — and it's all included in your subscription starting at just $16.95 per month (when prepaid annually).
