Audiosocket is a web-based subscription service for licensing music and sound effects. Founded in 2008, it lists a catalog of 100,000 tracks and includes sound effects. The Personal plan costs 120.00 USD per year for one user creating personal, non-commercial web projects, with unlimited music and sound effects. The Commercial plan costs 300.00 USD per year for a business with up to 50 employees. Audiosocket supports licenses for client work and offers perpetual usage rights. Its listed starting price is $10/mo (annual), and there is no free plan. The service does not offer AI-generated music. Choosing between the plans depends on whether the work is personal and non-commercial or business use within the stated employee limit. Both listed plans are annual subscriptions, with their prices shown per year. The service is delivered through the web, so access is tied to its online platform rather than a listed desktop or mobile application.
