A: Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out - happy to clarify!

I'm sure AudioHero offers a great service as well! From what I saw briefly on their website, AudioHero has approximately 8,750 production music tracks (music songs that is, excluding their SFX library). SyncHits, on the other hand, provides nearly 23,000 songs along with around 27,000 sound effects. However, the primary difference is the type of music offered: AudioHero specializes in production music, whereas SyncHits (via Audiosocket) showcases songs from over 6,000 bands, artists, rappers, singer-songwriters, DJs, and more, from around the globe.

Our model is centered on partnerships with these artists, allowing them to share in the revenue generated. The catalog consists of authentic, commercially released, culturally relevant music that we believe resonates deeply with audiences. Each track is handpicked for its sync-ability, so you get the best of both worlds: commercial artist-driven music, carefully selected to work perfectly in media.

Regarding your second question, the AppSumo deal provides two licensing options: a Personal License (Tier 1) and a Commercial License (Tier 2). Both fall under our Web Licensing category. The Personal License is tailored for individuals creating content exclusively for their own personal channels, while the Commercial License is intended for business channels or purposes.

I’ve summed up those Tiers below, however, since you’re creating work for Udemy, Tier 2 is the right plan for you.

Hope that helps and please let me know if I can answer any other questions!

✅ What the Personal License covers:
Web streaming on social media (YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram etc)
YouTube monetization for your personal account
Personal video projects, school projects

🚫 What’s not covered:
This license doesn’t include:

Commercial work for a business or brand
Client work
Digital ads or paid promotion
TV, apps, games, or other large-scale uses
