Top Rated Epidemic Sound Alternatives
Epidemic is cheap that's the only good thing I can say - and there's a reason it's cheap. See next answer.... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Twice in my 2 years using Epidemic Sound our channel had major copyright claims from YouTube for songs I used from Epidemic. Over 20 songs were claimed one day and another time Epidemic literally sent an email saying they had lost the copyright for some songs they had. This created strikes on my channel and major issues for me. I have since migrated to Universal which is more money but you actually will get a human on the phone and have never had any issues with Universal. They have a direct connection at YouTube where they can retract the strikes. Epidemic says they can "try to do that" on their website. But so far they haven't done anything or even emailed me back.

I like the fact that I can use any music or sound effect on the sight and not have to worry about a copyright strike on social media. I have to make a lot of content and would not have the time to search free sites to do this. The selection is really good also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think there is anything I don't like about Epidemic Sound. The interace is simple and easy to use. I love the visuals on the website also. They are fantastic pics that make it easy to search. I use Epidemic Sound almost daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Epidemic Sound is like the Spotify for blanket music. The team does a great of cataloging the music available into many different buckets for searching, which is helpful when you are looking for that perfect track. I love being able to search by multiple parameters - vibe, length, genre, lyric or instrumental - all help to narrow that search. The price is right - you can't do better for the catalog of music they are offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As much as I Iike the various search parameters and playlists, I would like to see more. It's easy to go down that rabbit hole of discovery if you don't know exactly how to find what you are looking for. I have wasted many hours scrubbing through tracks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how the music is categorized. I can choose music based on a mood, which truly is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really don't believe there is a downside. I have never had any problems finding just the right music for any of my creative projects. I always give credit to the original creators, the music is free, and even when I post to other platforms like Youtube or Facebook, I don't have to worry about copyright or usage issues.

I like that Epidemic Sound will start to cater music that it shows to you based on your taste. I utilize Epidemic Sound when I create video content on YouTube or other social media platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be difficult to find the sound effect I'm looking for. Often times the perfect sound is not called what you think it would be called or is just made from something completely off the wall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the cool vibey music on there; I feel like they have a wide range of different moods and genres. I like how you can filter pretty specifically to what you're looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I tried to find some basic music like graduation pomp and circumstance and ended up having to go to Envato. So maybe just having some mainstream basics on there would be helpful too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most helpful aspect of Epidemic Sound is that you can either download an entire track or download the parts separately. This feature allows you to manipulate the music to fit your specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The search feature isn't my favorite. Searching for songs using a specific vibe is difficult for me, and I wish there were other options for searching for song options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has all the sounds you will require to make any youtube videos or any videos. It has thousands of sounds to choose from and is the best site for choosing music or sounds. It provides high-quality sounds perfect for your videos. Their user interface is one of the best Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As of now, there is nothing to dislike about the epidemic sound. Everything is good, except it takes a bit of time to download the music, and they should send us notifications about the subscription on a timely basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They offer high quality sounds with a wide variety. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most people don't read the fine print. So if you cancel your subscription with them, all the music you used in your videos will have a copyright strike against the account. This is extremely misleading in their subscription model and is not transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that I can download stems for songs, I like how simple the UI is (maybe a tad bit too simple), and I like the SFX library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I feel like that music library is a bit dull in choices, and the prices are pretty high for what you get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
