When Audio Network is the better choice
Audio Network has a high end production catalogue, including orchestral recordings made at Abbey Road, Air and Synchron, with stems and cue sheet tools. For TV, film and advertising it is built for the job, and Dr.DIO does not license those uses.
It also has offices in 16 locations and regional sites in many countries.
When Dr.DIO fits better
Audio Network's prices depend on use and are given by quote. Dr.DIO lists its prices: free with credit, Club $2.99 a month, Creator $9.99 a month or $99 a year.
Audio Network works with PROs so composers earn royalties. No Dr.DIO track is registered with any collecting society, and Dr.DIO does not run Content ID.
For a creator who publishes often, a flat monthly plan can be simpler than licensing each production.
