Artlist pricing, price hikes and cheaper alternatives

Artlist (artlist.io) is a stock media library. Subscriptions sold by licence tier (personal Social, business-capable Pro, all-in-one Max), plus AI-generation tiers and a contact-sales Custom Business plan.. Free plan: No free plan: RecurDash lists a $0 tier with watermarked downloads and no publishing licence, and PricingSaaS lists no free plan..

What Artlist costs

  • Creator, 10/mo: $14.99/mo (Music & SFX Social at $14.99/mo month-to-month (RecurDash, checked 2026-07-24; frontdeskreview, September 2026, shows the same figure). Licence: monetized personal channels, one per platform plus one podcast; client work and commercial ads are excluded. No music download cap is stated, and the catalogue is described as 'royalty-free music, stems and sound effects' with no 'full' qualifier.)
  • Business, 10/mo: $16.58/mo (Music Pro at $198.96/yr billed annually only, so 198.96 / 12 = $16.58/mo (RecurDash; frontdeskreview gives about $199/yr). RecurDash quotes its licence as 'cleared for client work, paid ads, websites, podcasts, broadcast and TV', with up to 3 channels per social platform and no seat minimum. Company-own marketing is inferred from those lines. Music & SFX Pro ($24.92/mo) and Max cost more, and Music & SFX Social excludes commercial work, so Music Pro is the cheapest plan with business rights.)

Plan compared: Creator: Music & SFX Social on month-to-month billing. Business: Music Pro, annual-only at $198.96/yr, divided by 12.. Prices are the monthly cost, on month-to-month billing, of the cheapest plan that lets one person license at least 10 downloads a month of the product's main asset type from its full catalogue. 'Business' additionally requires a licence that covers a company's own website, social channels and paid online ads.

Pricing page: artlist.io/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. The official pricing page returned HTTP 403 and web.archive.org is blocked, so the two points come from RecurDash (checked 2026-07-24) and frontdeskreview (September 2026, self-flagged as stale), which agree on the Social monthly and Music Pro annual figures. PricingSaaS (captured 2026-10-12) supplies the AI tiers and the change log; the two third-party sites disagree on Max, so Max sets no point.
