AudioHero Reviews

Endlich die Software, die ich für meine Videos brauche. Sie hilft mir sehr gut, die Sound Unterstützung in meinen Videos. Danke an die Entwickler für so ein tolles Produkt

It's hard to criticize AudioHero... and yet, it's the first deal on AppSumo that I'm not satisfied with.

Does it deliver on its promise in terms of features and the number of songs/effects available? Yes. But AudioHero is, in my opinion, the perfect example of “quantity does not equal quality.” Most of the tracks are very repetitive (especially deep house and tropical house styles), and since the number of artists is extremely limited (I only found two…), you end up going round in circles: I feel like I'm listening to the same music 10 times over with only a few variations. It's quite tedious, ultimately.

What's more, the quality of the tracks... well, let's just say they're “meh.” Coming from Epidemic Sound, AudioHero is frankly a big step down! I don't understand the 5-tacos reviews (which I trust) from those who compare AudioHero to Artlist or Epidemic Sound: they're clearly not in the same league!

Next, let's talk about the interface: my goodness, it's outdated and ugly! Honestly, in 2025, make an effort! And simplicity isn't AudioHero's strong suit either: I've never seen it so complicated just to add music to a playlist.

So, to come back to my first sentence: it's very difficult to criticize AppSumo or even AudioHero, because technically, they deliver on their promise. But the thing is, music isn't just about technology, it's also about emotions. With Epidemic Sound, I was able to create a real sound identity for my YouTube channel with varied and high-quality tracks. AudioHero is good for adding background music at -30dB and your voice on top, but it doesn't go beyond that. Let's say it's a stopgap solution... but it's nothing to write home about. Too bad! I was looking forward to stopping my subscription, but now I'll have to go back...

I'm having trouble giving AudioHero any sort of trouble over the slightly clunky UI and the slightly annoying playlist issues because everything else is such a great use of your time and money that it's more than easy to look past it. You get detailed invoices for your own recordkeeping each time you download a set of sounds or tracks, and you can even pull the STEMS - something I feel gets overlooked in the reviews, because this allows for so much more control and flexibility with complex projects. For larger teams, it may be a nuisance to buy multiple licenses, since this only covers one user - but for the individual, it's invaluable as a tool. The quality of the sounds and tracks are great and some are especially memorable. Absolute gem of a deal (they were also on Humble Bundle but only a small predetermined percent of their library was offered, not the entire growing catalog).

Pros -

Massive Library of Professional Audio:
Over 300,000 tracks covering every genre, mood, and tempo with quality featured in actual Hollywood movies, not cheap generic stock music.

Incredible Lifetime Value: 
$99 one-time payment (49% off the regular $196 price) instead of paying $15-20 every single month forever—saves $180-240 per year compared to competitors.

Downloaded Tracks Licensed Forever: 
Tracks used within the subscription term are licensed in perpetuity; you can continue using them forever, even if you cancel, with real, permanent rights, unlike competitors.

Unlimited Use Without Extra Fees: 
Use any track unlimited times in unlimited projects with unlimited copies worldwide, no hidden fees or usage restrictions.

AI Finds Similar Songs: 
Upload any song you like, and AI finds tracks that sound similar, super helpful when you know the vibe you want but not what to search for.

Fair and Clear Licensing: 
People constantly say the licensing is "fair" and switched from expensive, restrictive subscriptions because AudioHero's terms are clearer and more generous.

Advanced Search Filters: 
Filter by sound type, genre, length, mood, and tempo to narrow down exactly what you need efficiently.

Works Inside Adobe Premiere: 
A Plugin lets you search and add music directly in Premiere Pro without switching programs.

Cons -

Playlist Creation Issues: 
Mentioned as a minor drawback in some feedback, but specific details about what's actually limiting aren't clear, and need personal testing.

Single User Only: 
Limited to 1 user per license. If you're a team or agency with multiple video editors, you need to buy separate licenses for each person.

No Stacking or Team Options Visible: 
Appears to be a single $99 tier only, no options for buying multiple licenses as a team or getting enhanced features at higher tiers.

No Mobile App Mentioned: 
No mention of phone or tablet apps for browsing and downloading music on the go.

I really like this platform, and I'm happy with the package AppSumo offers. The quality of the audio tracks is excellent. The search function is convenient, and the customer support is excellent and fast. I recommend purchasing this product!
