When Epidemic Sound in store is the better choice

Epidemic Sound has partners in every territory and a large, well known own catalog. If your brand already uses Epidemic music in its videos and wants the same sound in its stores, its in store product keeps everything in one place.

Its music is fully licensed for public performance, so it avoids traditional commercial music fees, as Dr.DIO does.

When Dr.DIO fits better

Epidemic has no self serve in store plan and no public price. Dr.DIO Business is bought online at $14.99 a month or $149 a year per venue, with the first 14 days free.

It also includes everything in Creator, so your venue can use Dr.DIO music in its own videos and live streams. No Dr.DIO track is registered with any collecting society, and the license for Dr.DIO music comes from the studio directly. In some countries a society may presume all music is in its repertoire (GEMA in Germany is one example), and the venue may need to show it plays only non managed music. Radio, TV or live music in the same venue still need their own licenses.
