Horrendous

Horrendous. They sell you a package but then your videos get copyright claimed and they don't fix it. Hours trying to get songs cleared resulting in horrendous stress and 15 different reuploads while you buy different tracks hoping they'll clear (they never do). All credits used and yet the videos still can't be published. Save your money and your sanity, avoid these cowboys.

1 premium a month 22 bucks

1 premium a month 22 bucks?
As soon as I purchased, I scrolled and scrolled and all the popular songs are premium which means I can only use one a month so definitely not worth it for a busy content creator.

Hey Veronica, thanks for the feedback we responded to your email as well and processed the refund for your subscription!

For context, our pricing is based on how traditional music licensing is priced and it levels the playing field so smaller creators don’t have to pay superstar prices while also ensuring we are paying artists fairly for the use of their music. We've worked tirelessly to get the price as affordable as possible for content creators, the subscription also gives us access to unlimited royalty-free music at no additional cost :)

2 Copyright Claims and BLOCKED in Two Territories

On my first go-round I licenced two tracks for my YouTube video and followed the protocol, attaching the licence exactly as they said and leaving the video unlisted. The video passed all of YouTube initial tests and I was free to publish it. I almost did. But then something told me to wait. So I left it. And then both tracks were COPYRIGHT CLAIMED. Worse, one of the tracks led to the video being BLOCKED in two territories. I sent multiple chat enquiries and emails to Lick'd and received obvious autoreplies. They tell you (once you join, not before) that they work 10-6 on UK time and will take longer to respond outside of those hours. That in itself is kind of ridiculous. But okay. After 12 hours of emails and chat enquiries getting no action (other than the autoreply saying they respond more quickly during office hours 10-6 GMT) I started to despair. Meanwhile I'm getting multiple emails from YouTube saying my video is not only COPYRIGHT CLAIMED, it's BLOCKED in two territories. Yes, it was unlisted. So no, I didn't get in any trouble. But it is unnerving to receive constant such emails from YouTube while Lick'd was sending autoreplies saying they "respond more promptly from 1000-1800 GMT time". Eventually I gave up. Paid my editor (who works hourly) to recut the video to remove the offending songs. This cost me extra money, a ton of wasted time and frustration and screwed up my regular upload schedule. Not cool.

Hey James, thanks so much for the feedback!

Just to reassure you—copyright claims on videos are completely normal and nothing to worry about. Since you're using mainstream music (rather than basic royalty-free tracks), Lickd doesn’t own the rights to that music, so we’re unable to whitelist channels like some other platforms can.

Our software, VOUCH will either automatically clear the claims or the team will need to review your video and clear it manually. That’s why our prcoess is to upload your video as ‘unlisted’ initially, so we can work our magic before you make it public to protect that precious monetization.

In your case, we saw you first reached out via chat while it was offline—sorry for the delay in getting back to you! As mentioned in our email, we’ve processed a full refund for your subscription.

Wishing you all the best with your channel, and we hope to see you back using Lickd in the future!

One Of The Best Customer Service Experiences I've Ever Encountered

Their real person, direct, and fast response to my question went well above what I had expected and made me want to support their product for life. I had a ton of questions about the validity of something like this that solves so many problems for me as a creator, and they legitimately exceeded all expectations.

The only place I have found to get the original songs by the original artists

I did my research, and from what I have found thus far, there are no other music purchase sites for content creators that provide the original songs by the original artists. Other sites offer a "sound alike" options, but none that I have found have the "as-recorded and released" original artists and songs. Lickd does that. There are many songs I would like to purchase that are not (yet?) available, but from my take, if it's out there, you're going to find it on Lickd. You guys keep adding to your catalog (as it seems you are doing) and I'll continue to be a customer.

Hey Philip, we appreciate the feedback! And you're right if it is not found on Lickd you won't find the music elsewhere, not at an affordable price anyway. Our Music and Licensing team are working with rights-holders weekly to get more awesome music on our catalog so we love to hear you'll stick around 🎶

Before we were a paying customer the customer support from the Lickd team was incredible! They were very helpful and answered every question almost instantly.

Great service AND customer support. 🙌🏼

I engaged the support folks at Lickd and was helped quickly with very knowledgeable and helpful advice and issue resolution. I reached out with a question using their chat feature with a non-critical question and Jess responded quickly and with a definitive answer. I also reached out via email regarding a ContentID issue on YouTube that Rosie rectified VERY quickly. Awesome service!!

It's good, but......

In theory the service is good, and it is definitely not a scam, but it comes with a few caveats. I licenced 10 songs for a youtube pub quiz video - it took 2 days with some back and forth to get the claims sorted. So you definitely need to plan in advance.

As far as I could see the catalog on mainstream songs is still fairly limited, and navigating the catalogue still feels a bit clunky.

I am sure I will use the service again - but I think it still needs a little time to mature before the process becomes seemless, and the choice of mainstream artists hits grows.
