Everything you need to know

  • Catalog's mission is to provide a seamless, transparent, and enjoyable curated commercial music licensing experience, empowering visual media storytellers to utilize as much outstanding, artist-crafted music as possible. We champion fair compensation for artists and contribute to a thriving music ecosystem by simplifying access to high-quality, culturally relevant music and providing an end-to-end music licensing workflow.

  • Catalog is built for the people behind the world's best creative work — agencies, brands, film and TV productions, and any team that needs to license outstanding music quickly and transparently.

  • There are no subscriptions. Qualified members receive full platform access, and you only pay when you license. Fees scale to the scope of use — the song, the artist, the context, and the rights your production requires.

  • No. Catalog was built directly alongside rights holders to take the pain out of licensing in today's digital landscape. By handling the admin, we give everyone more time for the important conversations — strengthening existing relationships, building new ones, and focusing on the bigger copyrights and hero placements that deserve time and attention.

  • Catalog is human-curated, not AI-generated. We use technology to make discovery and clearance faster, but every track comes from real artists and labels with verified provenance.

  • Our team handles bespoke legal and clearance needs. Licenses come from the original rights holders with the same legal protections you'd expect — in a fraction of the time.

  • Yes — reach out and we'll walk you through the platform so you can explore the catalogue, search, and clearance flow before becoming a member.
