Music-as-a-Service questions
MaaS is Audiosocket's integration product for developers and product teams who want to build music into apps, games, creator platforms, virtual worlds, and the metaverse. It comes in three forms: the MaaS API for direct integration into your own product, the MaaS Storefront (a hosted, partner-branded version of audiosocket.com that needs no integration on your end), and the MaaS Toolkit, which adds AI features like enhanced search, dynamic playlisting, stemming, and editing.
Get in touch with an overview of your idea and request an API key. After a mutual NDA is executed, your team gets access and can connect to the MaaS endpoint. From there you can query the catalog by mood, genre, tempo, and more, and integrate search, playback, and metadata retrieval into your product — you control the design, features, file formats, and delivery.
A standard Audiosocket subscription is a single-user account whose licenses cover web use only, so embedding music in games and apps requires a custom license. MaaS is built for exactly that case: it is a negotiated partner agreement that lets you stream, sync, or sell cleared music to your end users, with usage rights, platforms, and distribution terms defined in your agreement rather than in a fixed subscription tier.
MaaS gives access to over 250,000 pre-cleared songs and sound effects from more than 3,000 hand-picked independent artists and composers. You can search and preview across the full catalog before integrating anything, so you always know exactly what you're shipping.
Yes. MaaS supports in-app music purchases and sublicensing for user-generated content, so you can offer sync rights, streaming, and premium content to your users, who can then use the music in their creations in compliance with copyright. How this works in practice depends on the terms of your agreement.
MaaS is sold as a monthly plan: Music Only is $699 per month, or $625 per month billed annually; Music + SFX is $849 per month, or $750 per month billed annually. Larger or unusual integrations are scoped individually — tell the Audiosocket team about your project and they will quote the right shape, whether that is the direct API, the white-label Storefront, or the AI Toolkit.
