Finally, fully whitelisted solution
I was tempted by earlier similar offerings but did not take the plunge as the terms and conditions were too confusing. You could use it here but not there or you can use it if it is non commercial or less than 10 users, What if I create a video meeting all these conditions and later wanted to reuse the same for a different project with different criteria>to be honest it drove me nuts thinking of being in copyright violation.
And I am glad I waited. Filmstro appears to be the original stock music Saas and been around since 2016. The library is well stocked and has a good UI with clear themes and specifications such as:
Genre
Mood
Trending
YouTube cleared
Worldwide cover
No copyright strikes, ever
100% royalty-free forever
The fact that they have a sound app for Mac with an inbuilt editor is awesome. also make sure to join their Youtube channel which has interesting videos and a few thousand subscribers - again, love it when an offering comes fully prepared rather than having to peruse the comments sections for tutorial links. For the more adventurous and advanced users there are plugins for Adobe Premiere and Final Cut. Also their blog is a good place for ideas and inspiration.
Overall very pleased and can see this be a store of value moving forward. Thank you for the clear and straightforward pricing and terms. Much appreciated!
Wishing you the very best as you move forward incorporating Sumolings feedback and feature requests :)

May 9, 2024Thanks so much for these kind words. We're very proud of our roots of being the first music library to offer SaaS and, while we're by no means the biggest or best known, we are still operating with the same core mission of wanting to offer music in the simplest way possible (from a licensing point of view). I am so glad that this comes across and you mentioned that! 🤩
We are really excited to get new feedback and suggestions from the App-Sumo crowd and are looking forward to improving our offering as quickly as possible throughout the remainder of this year!
Like my favourite African proverb says: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together"!
We won't let you down! 👊🙏🤓
Cheers,
Seb
